Blacky wrote:Little bit confused here, how much of the rear quarter did you replace ? Was it a full ute/van panel you had or an FC wagon rear quarter ?

Nice progress either way [emoji106]

Hi Blacky
Was a ute half rear quarter Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk

So the panel beater is ripping in , has replaced the left rear quarter so nice to see it straight again after all these years .. I was lucky to get a hold of a genuine nos rear quarter panel 10 years ago and held onto it. Have ordered a heap of stuff from retro rods , they are now doing floor panels...

Hi Sneezy as Brett has said. You will find that the floor pans between models are basically identical the really only difference is the fuel tank area, Ute, Panel Van and Wagon all had the square fuel tank, you can even see there in your photo where the back seat floor support is :crazy: for the wa...

The red circled bit is just Rares fb/ek rear floor pans. Thanks Brett , I deep dove into your build last night night and now understand how the floor pans work . Least to say it was 1am before I dragged my self from the rabbit hole and went to bed haha. Amazing work you have done ! Sent from my SM-...

God I love this forum. Forgot to mention the rear passenger walls are also reproduced by Thompson Chassis works. FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie Mate it's a great community on hear ! I look forward to paying it back .. I've emailed and messaged Thomson's but no response yet . Sent from my ...

Hi Sneezy; I have the RH inner Rare Spares replacement leg if it is any help to you. Like Brett I have the passenger side inner A Pillar bottom section. And I know I'm in WA but thanks to EK Mart over here I have the below, I've used what I needed but this may help you a lot, not sure if any of the...

The bit you cant buy new is the hump part where the rear shock mounts are. It's a tough bit too because its multiple layers. All these repairs are in Project 2 and others. Unfortunately your rust was our rust[emoji3]. What are your A pillars like at the bottom? The left side is good the right side ...

Thompson chassis at Traralgon make the rear ute floor now. Otherwise you can cut up a panel van like I had to do. Some parts I used on my ute and some went to other forum members fairly recently. Front and rear floor panels are readily available, generally through rare spares. Thompson chassis or s...

Thanks for all your input and knowledge guys and a huge thanks to Brett absolute champion. The tray section is a bit worse for wear but nothing that can't be fixed . Meeting with the panel beater this afternoon to workout what we need to order , any pointers on different places to get patch panels w...

At the risk of being a smartarse, what you are showing there is pretty standard subframe rust. Legs and the angled bits are all available from Rares ( I might even have the short angled radiator support pieces as well for postage cost) and easily replaced. The panels look pretty good and easy repai...

Evening gents , was a bit late to get decent pictures but heading back out to catch up with the panel beater on the weekend to put a proper plan in place . 20240523_170314.jpg 20240523_170438.jpg 20240523_170443.jpg 20240523_170447.jpg 20240523_170454.jpg 20240523_170457.jpg 20240523_170500.jpg Sent...

I bought a “rust free” subframe for $800, then spent a week fixing bodgy repairs that had been double skinned, bogged and painted over, including cut and shutting my original chassis number in to the new subframe FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie That's what worries me in buying another , pr...

Any photos of how bad it is mate? They are all in need of repair these days to some extent. Not yet mate will go have a look at it tomorrow or Friday. The panel beater reckons about 3 k to fix it . I guess we would know it's good then and not risk getting another that needs work Sent from my SM-A54...
