This is great news Luke. I'm pretty excited too, now I'll have someone I know wont be too lazy to show his ute off. We definately have to organise a cruise. How long roughly till its finished?

Im pushing for mid october so but more like 3 to 4 weeks from now.

good luck with it all, its looking the goods.

what size cooler will you be running ?

sounds like a beast of a ute. i have just recently restored a 1200 ute back to standard. not complete standard it has 12inch minilites and is sprayed in a original datsun blue with a little recing steering wheel. Mine is no match for urs. Standard A12 engine (recond.) mines cost 5grand so far including buying it off a guy in bathurst for 1,500. So good luck in getting ti on the road and hope to get in conect with u when u do.

thanks mate. im not sure the excact core size but it takes all availible space there without touching the grill so it is not very visible at all but very sufficiant.
