Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
I had thought about Gaypricot for about 1 second only but you have the monopoly on that. Originally Banff blue but too many Utes and vans in that colour. Not 100% sure yet. Sorry for hijacking your thread Neil.

Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
A couple of photos of the donor inner and outer sills I picked up from EKMart thanks to Blacky will have them blasted and then separate the inner and outer before fitting so I can blast inside as well.
Thanks Blacky

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Hey Paul;
I wish that was my workshop at home, that's my company workshop in Henderson great to have the room there to be able to do lots of stuff I don't have the room to do at home.
I had my FC Sedan in there for a couple of months while I finished it just lucky my MD didn't come over from Sydney to visit.

Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
Finally got around to doing a bit on the ute after doing repairs to my brother in laws old VN (gearbox change and some other stuff)
The passenger side K leg was rotted out in the bottom and I was lucky enough to pick up a Rares leg on Epay pretty cheap a while ago.
Separated the top from the bottom and then did the same on the sub chassis and welded together.
Hopefully I will be able to get some more time and finish (start) the outer sills

Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
You know after really struggling to put Harv's repaired subframe back on I will probably in future attach the subframe to the body. Fit the repair section, bolt them in and then weld.
I didn't weld Harv's subframe back together but I had to play around heaps to get the bolts in.
I fitted the outside bolts then put a sling around the diff and the front of the subframe and a block and tackle in between to line up the inner ones. It was a nightmare.
