G'day all,
grab a jumbo-sized bottle of "No-Doze" & a comfy chair because this is going to take a while.
Like the Bozo @ work that insists he really does have a girl-friend, I feel it's time to show I really do have a ute.
I would love to drive it to Valla '10- not going to happen, unless PPP Pat takes me up on the offer to swap the floor mats I'm flogging for a solid months work.
* some of you may recognise the parts on the ute as the bits I've been flogging.
IRS, drop plates, clutch, brakes, adj front & rear etc should be under way over the next month.
I intend to post as work progresses but I won't break any records.
Tony.
Brakes, suspension & clutch done. pics to follow.
The DC has left the IRS/ brake joint & has been delivered for the rust/ body work phase. The bloke that is doing the body work is putting a list together for a number of autocraft & Gerson panels.
I'm looking forward to the visual results.
I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance to take some.

Nice.
You know what they say about DCs.....the reverse mullet.
Business in the back and party up the front.
Just make sure Matty doesn't see I posted this...........DAMN, shoulda known he was watching.
Now he'll be thinking I'm going to be nice to him.

Dopfel Kab wish list.
The wish list.
I wish to get the bloody thing finished & regoed
I really don't know what it'll look like yet. I've got an idea of commercial old school in shiny mono-tone.
I love two -tone red/ white with safaris front & rear. I've got an idea from left field as well.
I'm a bit like a kid a month before Christmas ATM.
Wheels will be original or Fuchs depending on the final scheme.
I've seen the pizzling you've been copping Matty, & I can't stand by any longer.
Thanks boys.
