Couple more....
Sills are rooted as usual but cabin floors are in very good shape.
Ute tray top skin is shagged also.
Will have to replace a couple of out riggers......sills.....tray top.....small section of floor .....bit of box steel .
Not a big deal really as I have already got two mates lined up to do the job.. They are both Guns on a mig and well experienced....

You buy a ute this old and abused, you know you gonna spend some coin..
She be well forth it though me thinks.

Andy and I got the old Girl running this morn....Classic !

sweet as Guys.

One week and we start cutting and welding.
Got the old girl running full steam today...Fuel pump was'nt stuffed ! Just had hose so far in fuel can it had curled up in can and rose up past petrol line...(dumb ass )

She purrs amazingly well. Just need a clutch cable so can drive in and out of shed. Pretty handy to drive under own steam hey ?
You can be sure the pic's will be flowing.

Probably have a truck load of questions for you all along the way too.
Cheers ...Davo.
