hey mr mccarthy the ute is looking good, if you want to know how a 1200 goes with a weber and an exhaust, when i get my new coupe on the road ill let you take it for a spin. gotta sell my commodore ute first but.
keep up the good work (hint make your son learn in a sr20det equiped ute lol)
cheers kurt

Cheers Kurt, (its just Sam!), i'll be keen for a peek at the new 1200.

Looks like i'll grab my Maddat Ute Lid now so i can get started on paint and panel

i saw you driving the ute for the first time this morning, yes that was me in the commodore ute up in riverview waving at you.
looks the goods, paint it and do the work and your son and you will have a nice tidy little cruiser.

How much for the rims if you dont mind me asking? And where do you get them from?

$950 for the 4 rims. Got them from Goodyear in Bathurst, great service and price. Ask for Gareth. They swapped my tyres over for me and fitted them just for the cost of the rims.

Thanks, they look awsome on your ute too!

hey mate when u rebuilt the a12s wat cam did u put in? im lookin at doin a similar build and was trying to get sum ideas??

I put the stock cam back in both, just had them linished and checked.

The original motor will get a new Camtech cam, some headwork, and a decent weber, extractor combination.

ok yer im goin to pick up an a14 this weekend and im gna build that to put in my ute, good luck with the build should look nice when finished, mine is in the middle of being rubbed back

Its alive!!!!

Kicked the new motor over today, might just be a stocker A12 but firing it up for the first time was pretty exciting, particularly when it was just a pile of parts a few weeks ago.

I'll run it in tomorrow and do the final checks before going for a decent run.

The original motor will now get the mild hot up and be put back in sometime next year.

Pics tomorrow.
