BEFORE




AFTER

how the hell did you turn it over?

Looking good joshh, I was in at Micks the other day and was looking at it. The chassis rails came up looking really good. I dont think the wheel wells were stone guarded up front though.
Have you thought about putting a cage in it at all?
I had better tell the painter to get cracking on mine or else you will finish this ute before my car is done

6 people and an engine crane lol and a car frame thing lol

yeh came up really good, i'll try get those other photos to work. dont know what happened. can't wait till it's finished... count down of 2 yrs? lol

Good to see its underway, i remember when you bought that thing. And if its going to be anything like your blue ute then watch out. good luck with the ute and nice pics..

Hey nice project Josh, sent you a PM.
