Damn, that is some interesting fabrication going on under there, not bad for the first months work.
Sure glad you chose not to keep it a secret. Looking forward to the next 365 days and watching the build.

360days to go...

Group support.



Steering column in as well as the pedal assembly. The clutch has been adjusted to fit, and now will be inside the car.

[JB]

350 days to go...

Some rust to be removed... will be a VN fuel tank, extended to 120litres.

Hoops chosen, tubs started... will be a few weeks until I get back to it unfortunately.











So 332 days to go, plenty of work to be done, lots of fun to be had.

Wow, you have done well to get that far in just over 30 days, well done. I can't wait to see the finished project.

It looks like you have a fair bit of room in that shed!

Keep us posted on the progress. I assume that you will be at Orange and that is why you are trying to have it finished in the 365 days. Is this correct?

[JB]

Yep, you have it in one.

The shed is a mates that I taught to fly... Actually he has an affiliation with Bathurst. Graham Jonsson, raced with his brother for 3 years in a VL commodore 89' 90' and 91' I think. So may be appropriate to get this one to Orange.

Jason,

I look forward to seeing your ute in Orange, should be awesome,

Excellent job  :o :o - looks like you have some welding skills which are needed for this project.  :o

Will you be using the complete wiring loom from the donor? 

Where are you located in Queensland?   ???   I am doing a similar project at Nundah.

regards oldgmh. 

[Omalley]

My god you dont muck around :o

[JB]

Thanks guys,

Yes I will be using the wiring harness and everything else that I can out of the VT.

I am in Cairns, the car is in Yungaburra up on the Tablelands.

Cheers
Jason.

You have been a very busy boy in such a short space of time!

Keep posting updates and don't forget to include the odd shot of the support group!

[JB]

Another couple of the support... He was with me the whole month.





;D

[NosFEratu]

He looks pretty tired there - he can hardly keep his little eyes open. ;) You're not the only one who obviously worked very hard in that month!  ;D 

[Ed]

Love your work Jason!

Cheers
