Hey Guys,
Always wanted a 1200 ute so I bought one.. Decided to pull it all apart seeing as I don't really know what I am doing, Im just having a go, anyway I have fully stripped it now and just about to cut out some rust and fix.. then to get prepd for paint and put it all back together in the next month before rego is up! I bought another one last weekend too, just for spares and that I guess not really sure what my plans are at this stage. here's some pics so far.

I will appreciate any help, suggestions etc along the way Cheers, Hales.

Welcome Bro .
Nice to see a ute.
Hope you go with the a seris motor.

Been having alot of trouble with the sand blaster I have with moisture getting in and wetting the sand but I got a fair amount done today, its handy using the sand to get into the hard to get places..

any suggestions of what to use once finished stripping it to deoxidize the metal before i go outting my bog and filler etc on?

whats that monster truck lookin thing? looks like an awesome forby

looks like your goin alright. what kind of sand did you use? was it soda or somethin?

its a 4runner my brother has been working on it the last few years its just about finished then he is selling it, has cost him alot of money so he doesnt want to take it up the bush and destroy it lol. - the thing is HUGE!

I started off with soda but i was going through it so fast and it wasnt moving the thicker paint off, so now i am just using dry sand.

Unfortunatly some moisture got in the line and wet the sand which caused it to block up so my old man has made up a custom air dryer as an extra filter type thing or something I dont really get how it works.. so next weekend I'll give it a try and hopefully get it finished.
