Have you thought about smoothing and painting the undercarridge of the ute? i dont think anyone will want to take this motor out with all the effort your going to. Great job with it

mate i have thought about so many different things for this ute ,the things that you can possibly do on one of these seems to be endless,but as this is going to be for sale i have to draw a line somewhere as in how far i realy go,but as for the underneath of the ute,im going to clean it all up and paint black 2 pack all under the chassis and then go over in areas with stone guard,
will give it a good clean factory look ,well probably better than factory they dont actualy go to these lenghts ,

ok so i just got home ,after a serious ball breaking sesion,
ive been lying on my back sanding and cleaning the underneath of the tray,
this is a major effort ,the mess under there was huge,a tone of dirt,
found a small bit of rust whiich isnt to bad should be able to fix it up nicely,
will post up pics tomorrow,

as for tomorrow my mission is to fix the rust
finish sanding ,lip the rear guards,smooth them out,prime the repairs,spray 2pak black under the whole rear end,and then seal with stone guard,
thats a lot to do so it probably gona take 2 days ,but should look good after its done!!!!!!

well im very tired so im going to relax before the big day tomorrow,

till then keep this in mind its a ,mess down there
