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













thats some of it we have some work to do but thats the way you find them now days at around 3 and a half grand i new we would find some .when i win tats i'll buy them allready  fixed up lol

G'day stillute-ed, nice looking ute, welcome to the site, looks like lots of fun and games still to come as the further back you go the more rust you tend to find, I've just come in from welding up the rust in some of the same places so I know what you've got coming, have fun

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
