cheers mate yes im getting down to the nasty hard work now,im hoping i can keep it up cause its getting a bit harder than when i started,i too hope the owner apreciates all this work ,also it will mean that they dont have to do any work just drive and enjoy!!!!


so any way to finish off the insides ive masked up the seat mounts and other seen parts and finished sealing the floor area with a few coats of stone guard and heres what i ended up with,

pics are abit dark due to the gloomy rainy morning here in melbourne so bare us

i see that the back of the cabin wall is still black/undercoat. will you be painting it the same color as the outside of the ute or just leave it this color?

no thats it,as 80 percent of the interior will be covered what has been painted will hardly be seen,only the top of the back panel under the window and the seat mounts and the windscreen frame,all of which have been painted in a dark matt gray colour which the interior will be going,you ll understand more as it goes together as for the floor i have new soundproofing and new carpet to go down also brand new scuff plates ,the back wall will be completly upholstered in fabric and a new roof lining also will be put in,so from what of just said you can get an idea of how good the interior is going to look!!! well i hope soo!!!

yeah i hope that this turns out to be one of the best utes going around which by the looks of how you are going it will be. keep up the good work mate.

any updates?? im dieng to see some more progress

hmmm whats happenin betty.

sorry guys nothing as yet ,be a few weeks before i can get back on track with it ,very hard as all the staff rom my work are on breaks and im expected to do everything so im pretty well stuff at the moment,a few weeks and i should be back into ,maybe ill get it done this year?????hahaha lets bloddy hopeso still a bit of a long road to go but stay with me there should be more alot more updates in the following months ,just wanta say thanks for every ones support since the start of this thing and hopefully you will all get something more out of the upcoming updates too,
remember that this ute is going to be for sale once complete no if buts or maybees
it will be for sale
so if one one wants to express interest then i would email me in the follwing months as i have already had a great deal of interest from prospective buyers ,so guys save those pennys!!! hopefully this year will see the completion and sale of the beast ,and a long hard #### load of work too!!!! but im sure theres someone out there who wants something like this ith out having to do the back bracking bullshit that goes with it lol anyway guys
i havent gone any where the utes still 100% go and there should be a few more updates shortly ,

im back!!!!!!!!!! well sort of hahahaha

decieded to get the show back on the road so to speak and crack into a bit of work today ,nothing too exciting ,but i had to finish the floor pan underneth so thats what i ended up doing ,and thank god its over lying on your back for hours on end isnt the most pleasant way to spend the day ,specaily when dirt and crap is falling in your eyes!!! so any way basicly what i did was cleaned the floor to get all the goop of then sanded it cleaned it again fixed up a few small things then masked up and sprayed black followed by stone guard ll of which took the hole day ,so heres a few random shots to show



















unfortunatley the pics of the paint didnt turn out to well far to dark will try get some more another time how ever it looks the same as the undertray set up so there you go a bit more work and one nightmare job out of the way......

Glad to see more progress. I must admit I was skeptical about that grill.. but it looks fantastic. I was also skeptical about the colour.. but I've completely turned around on that too. It's great. Well done on all fronts. Now that you're all buttered up...

I was wondering why chose to do the front end gear in black? tie rods, LCAs, castor rods, etc..

wow what an epic read. keen to see the end result. your dedication and craftsmanship are a real credit to you. hopefully you will have it done in time for the dat nats meeting shouldnt be hard to find a buyer there.
