Hi Shane'o Supercheap do sell steering wheel pullers I purchased one some years ago and it does the job just fine mate.

Stop Clay my sides are hurting from laughing so much mate.

You must mean to 2026 Nats and even then I'm skeptical

Hi Sneezy, there is supposed to be a flap on the plastic bit that covers the core I assume this was so you could keep it shut and the hot air would go to the demister or open and the hot air came into the cab, yours is missing the flap, I have one and it looks like the heater lever would have had a ...

Yesterday I got into the rear piece I had started, found that there is actually three pieces one on top of each other and they had spot welded all three at once, so once I removed the top one I had to redrill the same spot welds, I’ve made up the two pieces but they have to wait till next time.

Hi Sneezy having built a Ute myself I love the back story and hope to see lots of photos along the way lots of good advice on here if you need it.

Glad you seem to be getting on top of it mate.

Got into the passenger side rear quarter on the weekend and got the inner completed yesterday. No photos you have all seen it before. When I'm under there (it is on its side on the rotis) I keep looking around and keep noticing the small places where I am going to have to put patches in, I think I n...
