This is a mates 1980 datto ute. There is a tiny bit of the original rear subframe just behind the cab, which has no strength left in it. A mate welded in a heap of lintels (his dads a builder) and other scrap metal to hold it together enough to go.
It was used as a bush basher for a good 5 years in this condition before the diff gave up, and the engine migrated to another bush banger where it is still alive.
There isn't much floor left either. I needed the front panel off it (the one behind the bumper) which surprisingly was the only panel left that was straight and rust free!!!

There might be some repair panels there for your ute Henry.

Maybee you can get $40 for the wheels. It doesn't look like there is much else you can use there.
Hows the ignition switch? These seem to give trouble now & then, so hang on to it.
Does it have the H165 rear end? It may not be a total loss after all.
