after much frustration and some wrong parts i finally have one of the front wheels back on and clear of the struts yay.

will do the other side either today or tomorrow then i can take it for its first drive.

haha yeah thats a good way to do it mate
it took my mate nearly all day to do his car

cheers mate, yeah not much flooring in the ute so with a few scotches it shouldnt be too bad.

Hey mate the ute sounds good
yeah mate the dry ice thing works my mate did it to his gtr it took a while though
but a little datto wont take to long

pulled out most of interior and going to try the dry ice method of removing the tar like floor covering next weekend, has anyone done this before?

replaced a heap of ratty old vacuum hoses with some nice new blue ones, happy that they have been replaced but thinking i should have used black lol... just waiting on the wheels spacers so i can do some more bits and pieces.

my datto has a clock.

woo yeah got the old gal started today, just gotta get some spacers for the front wheels and ill take it for a lap.

there is a build thread on here on my black sr1200, i have swapped most the steering/suspension stuff for the good oversized adjustable maddat gear, maddat crossmember with dummy SR20 sitting in engine bay, R31 skyline coilovers and brakes, few other bits and pieces. whats left to do is fit drop tank and sort out fuel pumps, surge tank and fuel lines, custom tailshaft, mount gearbox and crossmember, mount brake booster, weld in new trans tunnel, upgrade diff, have brake lines hooked up and an auto electrician wire it up. bloody heaps to go but its all fun and games, lots of lil things to do to tidy it up and also a turbo set up waiting lol.

how far are you into the sr ute build ??

good to hear your keeping then alive !!!
