From what I have seen it looks like an excellent starting point, with a good solid body with hardly any rust, plus the bonus that it is already dismantled.
Go for it Rusty & yes, some pics would be good.

 Hi anyone, I'm having all sorts of problems trying to post some pics of the ute. Can someone assist by either posting them for me or sending some form of instruction (made easy) so I can do it. Getting very frustrated with this piece of technology, Rusty

Looks good Rusty, by the look of the radiator support panel it must have the large radiator Country Pack option. And since when did Gary ever point anyone in the right direction  Cheers John |

Hi all, I've done a little bit more to the ute. Front bits off, Replaced the radiator cowl, removed the dif and springs. Intend turning it on it's side soon to get to the underside.  That's the planned cowl replacement, but most plans are subjected to change  That's the site manager  My welding is improving. I only blew a coula holes in this lot.   Here's to dif and springs all over the floor.It doesn't look to bad. Lots missing but available has very little rust. Whats there is repairable. Til next time . Rusty

Hi all, Finally got the ute on it's side. Took to it with the grinder ,fitted with a wire wheel, and it has come up very well. Needs a few panels weld to it but other than that it's quite good.  As you can see it needs a bit around the fuel tank area.  The underfloor cross member. I fabricated one of those. Fair bit of bagging and bending. see pic  Both sides are the same  Same here. Both sides the same  So til the next progress pics. Happy Trails Cheers Rusty
