by the look of those white patches showing through,the roof needed to be redone anyway,or is that warpage from repair?as dents are  spread over a big area .
not been smartarse,just my ute has roof eriel fitted but roof looks clean and id hate to warp it fixing hole as im only a back yarder so the less damage the better for my limited skills,any advice gratefully accepted.
cheers Nicko

no we did alot of work on roof it has been painted now it came up perfect
it had been taken back in after the panel beater wasnt happy so im glad we fixed it up
this ute was just going to be a run around and then we decided to make it look a bit flash and give her a good restoration nicko im pretty happy the panel has 5 fe so hes a bit of a gun at them

finally got the ute back from the panel beaters
ill be posting some new pics
about 3 weeks away from finishing
just adding all the little bits and pieces at the moment
this ute has given me the greatest thrill from the shed in bruce rock covered in dust to looking in showroom condition .when you see old restored cars on the road you dont realise how much work goes into bringing these old classics back .the best thing i did was joining this site everyone has been so helpful
ill have all the pics up this weekend

Getting closer Kalfe.  Very well done.  Good that you took some 'before' shots when you found the old dear too.  Are you going to cut loose with the spray can.  Didn't it have trick flames on it when you found the ute? Wink
Trev would be happy for you too.  He's probably watching.
can't wait to see the photos when you post them here.

got the shock of my life yesterday my fe ute has left the panel beaters after 2 long years or more and has headed to the trimmers for the final piece of work
the panel parked it outside of my work on a car trailer
she looked beautiful i will post some final pics soon
i have never seen so many new commodores utes drive past then do a u turn for a second look they must have been amazed with real metal and chrome
