Cheers for the comments, firewall back the ute is in great condition almost no rust at all.

Need a new fuel pump (Blackie?)

Gave the seat a bit of a clean with simple green so I can send some pics to the trim matiral place door cards and roof are fine just need some love.

Yikes there's a few years sweat & grime on that seat........

So any chance of a pic under the bonnet Gaz?

Hi Gazza what's wrong with the seat mate and just remember I still have that sub chassis that you gave me it still has a lot of good bits mate if you want it back.

Looks like I have all the parts for a 283 auto? Tempting


Nah sticking to original plan - clean and drive

New fuel pump in and blew out the fuel lines today runs fine.

Some plugs, points and clutch slave cylinder and a quick test drive if feel. Then up on the hoist for some under carriage love.

Started on the undercarriage today, must have been 30 kgs of red dirt.

Firewall back its the cleanest rust free EK I've seen.

Chasing a gearbox X member as this one is rotten.







Bit or Aqu Kleen, lots of wire brushing, rust blast and some KBS. Starting to look cleaner.

Typical farmer check out the "Wheatbelt" chassis kit, sub frame is completely gone, bit of 3/8 flat bar in its place

It looks like a bit of effort has gone into that repair, usually farmers would use fencing wire.

There is some of that there also - look to the right hand side - she looks pretty good though apart from front end - drag link has some nice shape about it also to match the sump - must have been working on some wind drag reduction - haha
Great to see these old girls saved - keep the pics coming - I need to do the underbelly of mine soon also.

Get the ute back next week, getting some rust love on the fenders, apart from that it's an awsome body.

I'll load some pics as soon as I can work out how to get rid of that bloody speedo
