I conciderd buying this ute not to long ago, You in melbourne or was it a fair trip? good luck with it and whatnot!!

yeah im from melb . i live 20mins from where i picked the car up from in altona north off millers road. old man i bought it off claims to be the owner since new but has no proof.

What are the plans? resto, old school, wilde mod?

hey mate

looks like you have some work to do!
good on you for saving the old girl...

keep us updated on the progress

im looking foreward to seeing it on one of our melbourne datto cruises one day...

good luck

well i will start off fixing the body and all the rust... i found a place in syd on ebay selling new quater pannels door guards and tail lights assys all new at low prices so im not sure if i shound just replace all the panels or fix the original ones. any suggestions?

Replace the panels. By the looks of it they aren't in the best of nick so if you can afford it I'd just get new ones and keep the old ones as spares, they will always take longer and cost you more to fix than you think, especially the tailgate, looks like its seen better days.

well its now been like a week since i bought my ute
and have so far stripped most of it down
and bare metaled the roof. all other panels have been orded and will be replaced.

getting somewhere now !!
