hey mate hows the ute going? interested to see what it looks like now, any recent pics?

All powering ahead, new motor is in, completely rebuilt as detailed below, 32/36 Weber installed and electronic distributor to go back in today. I'll put some more pics up tonight of the fresh motor. Once i grab my hardlid in the next month or so i''ll get started on the paint and panel work.

sounds good mate

Add 1 completely rebuilt engine, stock specs, one electronic distributor and a nice little 32/36 weber and here is the result. This will be the temp setup until the mild motor goes in later this year.

looks nice

Just got the Maddat hard lid, now the paint and panel begins!!

Here is the lid, no doubt about the high quality of the Maddat product.

looks heaps good, they look to fit perfect! hows the panel work coming along?

looks like u bought the maddat tailgate too?
im wanting to buy the hard lid too but it sucks because i dont have an original tailgate n it sits about 20mm below the tub of the ute. therefor i have to buy a $550 origianl tailagte from maddat before i buy the hard top :(

Nup, just the standard taiwanese copy, it was an absolute perfect fit. And for $120 i'm not complaining.
