Very impressive Nick. Your getting through the pain barrier. Before you know it the rust will just be a memory.

I dont know if this will be a problem, there is no weight on the wheels so im hoping there will be a little more clearance with the brake caliper and the crossmember, Ive trimmed a little off. Also i dont have the steering rack yet so maybe i wont have that much lock. 290x22 VP disks and VS Calipers on HR drum stubs and Adapters. everything bolted up perfect.     Very close, but it clears.  |

Nick
If you run into trouble on the upper ball joint you can also try WB ute ones.
They are sealed and a very low profile.
Cheers

as im not having any luck finding these parts : bonnet, front guards, bumpers front and rear, left hand front door glass and window regulator.
and not having alot of time to fix the ones i have, ive lost some motivation.
The shell is almost complete, but i don't think ill make it for the nats here in tassie.
If anyone has any of these part they want to sell, please let me know.
