Title: ex ute 23k attempt two Post by: retro on April 30, 2007, 10:03:28 AM Thanks to my brilliant brother in law who decided that this toy was not worthy of his garage and did the sly move into the rear yard out of eye sight from the back door, this little girl now needs a bit of a touch up here and the due to paint fade and elements.
Thank god no rust still, but im very p'd off with him, and have now refused to help him paint his new house. This car was well known about two years ago when i took it to almost every swap meet, local show and drove it around with a huge smile on my face as i think its a typical Aussie battler car. Also included was its replacement, i know its an fb but hey you gotta admit she scrubbed up alright.

That was the stage she was a bit of a hottie.........
Oh well im just playing with the idea to return her bach to originial colours (i think its a greenish colour) or have her match the rest of the collection with the return of red. Not sure. As you can see and would of known she was not a bad old ute with no cancer. can i get those pics emailed to me as all my old pics were deleted from the computer some time ago. ??? My email is waynexerri@hotmail.com Alex i also posted on of roknrol for ya in the other section, i drove past and had to have a pic. Cheers RETRO.

tayz Title: Re: ex ute 23k attempt two Post by: retro on May 01, 2007, 05:30:46 AM mate anything is for sale at a price, had toyed with the idea for some time now, dad wants me to keep it, the mrs wants me to keep it, mum wants me to finish it and take it home, my mates dislike the ute because it only sits two and i cant take them anywhere in it (thats why i originally bought it), im not 100% sure i have the time to complete. but i do have some fond memories in the old girl.
The thing is near straight, no rust in any panels, floor or shell, all complete with some goodies like ventian blind, nos hubcaps, new interior, good mechanicals (neg if you want to modify) and a boat load of fe/fc spares that will make room for my fb/ek collection. PM me with an offer that will make me consider a let go. Remember the car has been prepared and is almost ready for a cosmetic paint and all works and drives 100% with new brakes, clutch, etc. As for changing to the fb, well its all the same, if i had my time again, i would of keep the ss torana and my mums charger or vl turbo but we must learn from mistakes and keep everything our wifes let us. |
