ok well ive done a few bits and pieces to start of with i got the::

front l/r guards
right and left doors
and tail gait

and covered them with paint stripper!!!!
as this is going tpo be a full bare metal respray i have to strip off every bit of the old crusty disgusting paint that i can ,so the paint stipper is a good place to start.....

heres a shot of parts ,there in not to bad condition but not the best either ,and as for the lovely red paint well,thats got to go!!!!!!!!!!

well small update.......

the other painter who was going to be doing this ute along with me ,isnt going to be helping on this one as hes very busy at present ,so it looks like it s just up to me to get this thing going ,now ive just checked out alot of the parts and pieces that came with the rolling body and unfortunatley there not looking in the best of shape,
soooo im gona do the best i can to fix up the parts of clean them to a useable state but will definatley be in need of some parts,

can anyone tell me where there is a datsun wreakers or an online after market place i can get cheap parts or aftermarket parts????? or possibly some one has a ute there wreaking???? all help be apreciated.

so i guess ill post up a few picks to start of the hole thing!!!!

haha sorry dat51k ive been thinking of this colour for ages,i almost painted my old corolla in it but it went metallic blue instead,heres a shot....





so yeah this is pretty much the colour i want to go with ,not to worry mate theres a billion other colours for you to choose from!!!

last one of the colour on a smashed guard,
the colour has a real glow about it and the pearls really give a good flipping effect,

no worries dattodude, keep eye eye on it,it will be a little slow hole process could take up to 6 months but hopefully no longer than that,no that i know how to pics up ill be able to keep putting them up for yous ,

what do you think of the colour??really like some input on this........

heres another....

that is a great color i am about to start restoring my ute and was thinkin of a color very similair to the one that you have made but since you beat me too it you own the color. but really top color go with it mate

Good one. Will be interesting to follow the progress.

another.....

well heres a few more shots,
my camera isnt the best so bear with me,
also its very hard to take photos of the effects of paint but you get the general idea..

ok well today i got a smashed guard and painted it with the preposed colour,
now the paint is a custom mix of colour and pearls so reasonably guarenteed that there wont be another ute with the same colour!!!

so please any one comments on the colour ,id like input of what people think,

we are reasonably happy with how it looks ,has several flips pink,red purple etc,would look great in the sun,unfortuatley another beautiful cloudy rainy day here in melbourne!!!!
