well just a few words tonight im very busy and looking at a busy weekend with the ute,

answer a few questions

the screen was from ebay brand new

and its going to be custom fited into the glove box ,im doing away with the crapy card board box in there and going to custom mount the screen in there also,the ps2 will be mounted some where in the passenger side under the dash posibly???

and no i havnt given up!!!! restoration work takes alot of time and effort and giving up isnt an option!!!

ive also been doing lots of buying bits and pieces latley will post up as more items are purchased,

and shortly probably over the next few weeks ill be getting the paint together
the colourworks out to be a little over 700 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and thats just the colour ,
so theres certainly a hell of alot of cash going into this one !!!!!!!

tomorrow im working on the tail gait ,hoping to get it into primer,but we will see,also paint striping a few more parts,very messy stuff,

Theres heaps of room under the dash on the passenger side so yeah the PS2 will fit well along with the screen nicely

well a bit of a disapointing day today,
spent the whole day working on the tail gate only to have it turn out no where near how i wanted to,
the problem was this,the gate had had a new 1/2 skin put on ,now you would think this would help wouldnt you,but noooo,
this made it 1000 times harder for me
as the last person who had done it ####ed up the main line on the gate ,this has caused me big head aches,and im also in a bad mood now ,hahahhaha well ill get over it,any way the heres a pic of it in primer after the whole day trying to sort it out ,now im not sure if i can fix it it up,

the red arrows show where the line dips down and up ,you cant really tell from this shot but believe me its ####

heres another ,you can see a bit better here

well i guess we all have our bad days huh,
now im going to go buy some for the ute ,might make me fell better spending money hahahaha,hopefully tomorrow ill be able to sort it out or at the very least make it a dam sight better ??????????????
tune in next time and see can he do it?????????????????????????????

hahaha,way to bait the hook keep em coming back for more

well im still pissed off!!! spent all morning on the gate again,
got it a hell of a lot better i have to say the most of the gate is looking real straight,but theres a small area on the line that refuses to co oporate!!! not sure what im going to do there ,i might leave it for a while and come back to it ,would hate to have to put a sledge hammer thru it!!!!!!!!!!!! mind you i was getting close yesterday.........

ok well after this mornings efforts here are the pics ,spot the problem?????

well heres another little update,

got a few more bits for the ute,
first a set of 6.5" component speakers with tweeter,




and a full set of 4 new tie rod ends....

ok now inbetween all of this ive just started with the engine,now the head is already off and most of the parts bolted to the engine ,so here it is flipped over and about to remove the sump,take note of how filthy it is.......




and so heres the sump removed..




and then i removed the oil pump....

and heres the sump in the sink about to be cleaned and preped for fresh paint!!!
