Ok then... i got sick of body work so i started to rebuild
the A12 engine that was in the ute when i got it...
it will be quicker to get it over the pits with the A12 rather than a ca18det...
but the ca18 will be in the ute in the future..
sooo... i pulled the engine apart then clean it with oven cleaner, man that stuff is magic...there is a few pics before and after of the block
it gets rid of all the oil burn stains off the head and the block..
well i painted the block blue cause thats the only heat resistant paint i had but who cares....it looks alright.
The body of the ute is almost done just got a few little area's i need to touch up and then it should be painted.
i also have a couple of pic's of the dash here will have the finished product up soon as i needed to give the dash another coat of paint.. hope you guys like it ....
will have some more stuff done soon
works be busy.... oh yeah i cleaned up the door cards i have they came up really nice...
