Great start for a rebuild tho...very little rust & straight as :) You in Hobart? Rob J Title: Re: saying g'day Post by: stillute-ed on September 12, 2009, 06:02:38 PM g'day rob yes im in hobart just wondering did you live in chigwell or claremont when you owned the car. as i have a mate of mine whos uncle had a fb ute in one of the grey colours and he was wondering if my ute was that one .he's uncle had it for many years may have been from new . now on to the no rust bit .yes there was a dodgy repaint and she's had some rust repairs done over the years .but as happens if its not done properly and kept out the rain it comes back just a little

Pedro Title: Re: saying g'day Post by: 4hammers on September 13, 2009, 05:30:28 PM Hey mate...No way...Not a Chigga, thats for sure ;)
It was bought from a guy claimed it was his Uncles how was from down the Huon. He kept it in a carport for its whole early life. hence the very good condition of the rear end. I knew there was some rust in the front, but it isn't much. Have seen heaps worse than that. It is really sad, coz my mate got a guy to paint it & he was assured of a good job. BUT, as you can see, he ripped him off. The rust was supposed to be cut out, welded & repaired. But he just put body deadner in it. Pretty much made my mate give up on it & sell. Looking forward to seeing it completed. Regards, Rob J Title: Re: saying g'day Post by: stillute-ed on September 13, 2009, 08:32:27 PM thanks for the information rob. the whole floor looks like some one poured liquid resin over the floor to cover the rust pin holes. you couldn't see it untill you were uder it with a light in the cab then bloody hell look at all those holes .were going to cut the floor pans out and replace them and all the other rust
