Time for a bit of an update...

Got the brakes all working - still the original drummies, but I'll put the new front struts and disc brakes in once I pass rego.

Engine, gearbox, starter motor etc pretty well together now. I'm gonna borrow my neighbour's engine crane in a couple of weeks to put it all in. I've cleaned up the carby a bit and I've just got to figure out what connects to what with new hose. Painted the manifold, so once that and the carby are bolted on in she'll go...

Interior is still gonna be a pain though, everything is $$$

I'm also after a tow bar (I want to be able to tow a box trailer) and a new dash if anyone can help out...

It's called Dynamat. You can get it from a few places, just google or ebay it. Hopefully will dampen down the noise a bit, should also provide a bit of insulation from heat too. I've gotta figure out how far up the back I want to go, cos I'll have to cover it with carpet and the carpet kit I've got doesn't cover the back. I'm inclined to put more effort in to covering the firewall.

and its heavy

nice uste, get a l series in there while its all out, nice!

that's for sound proofing. You can buy it on ebay in stickable sheets. Not cheap though.

this might seem like a stupid question but what is that foil stuff is it for waterproofing and does it stick to the floor and you glue the carpet to it and where would you buy this stuff
sorry for all the questions but this is what i wanna do with my ute
