Wow you don't muck around. Nice job!

I vaguely remember the ute you had some time ago...I'm thinking it was bright yellow and ended up tubbed.
Have you got an old pick of the ute you can put up. What ever happened to it?

Cadet1200 yea it's on here page 22 I think. I ended up selling it as a roller unpainted. The guy who bought it painted it yellow, not what colour I would of chose but looked good and stands out by the looks of it

Top work Wade. I'd be keen to see what tools you use to shape and
form the panels and rust repair pieces. Obviously a good mig welder
first and foremost.

Got no fancy tools just a kemppi 180 mig a cigweld 200i ac/dc tig and hand tools, no metal shaping tools etc just a hammer and improvise

Pretty much what I have, hand panel tools, Lincoln 180c. I have to do rust repairs on the rear back
below the tails lights, not sure how to reproduce the curve on the inside bottom rear. I guess just gotta give it a go and learn. What you use/need the tig for?

The costs to pay someone to do this work is horrendous. I'd rather try and give it go and learn from
it. Sure I'll make mistakes but all part of the learning curve I guess.

Tig is for all alloy work, shortening struts and narrowing diff, exhaust manifold just stuff like that when want a good small join and it's fun rather than the mig.

Ok cool, thanks. More the finer details and concentrated work you'll use tig. Look forward to
seeing the finished product
