Ratmatt's Ute

[ratmatt]

[ratmatt]

The ute has had a full rotisserie resto, retrimmed interior, rack and pinion conversion, chassis kit etc, it was then stored away for 8 years.
I bought it  and I am going thru the process of getting it ready for QLD mod plate and rego.

It has a 262ci Chev V6 and an T350 auto, Torana LSD diff.

I am still unsure about wheel choice, the chasers are only a temporary thing for rego etc.


It should be back on the road in the next week or so.

Cheers

Nice tough looking ute!

Doesn't Look like there is much to go at all.

Good score.

Looks great Matt. Looks like your ute will be moving over to "Real Members Cars" section sooner rather than later.

Love the Chevy. :'(

Nice Ute!!!

[ratmatt]

Thanks guys, not much to do at all really, I drove it for the first time yesterday, it needs a wheel alignment, but drives really good.

The top picture is how I found her, it hadn't been out of the garage for 8 years, she was covered in dust and had flat tyres, the previous owner had coated all the chrome and engine bay in lanolin, it protected it but was a real pain to clean off.

Hi Matt,

I reckon the chasers quite suit the ute. Hope you have many happy hour cruising in it.

Enjoy,
        Dean.

Thanks Dean, the chasers are gone, it now has black steelies and bullet nuts.
