Shed find ute
Got some more red dirt out today, gave the inner guards some KBs and body deadner
Bloody weelie bin weighs a tonne
Plan to get the front clip off before I go back to work, maybe the lads will pitch in at the Nats meeting on the weekend
Gazza
Recon this is almost low enough

Re: Shed find ute
Heh Greg, I had to ask the wife what you mean. After a couple giggles, she told it was a big F#*d DIFF.
Still not sure why she was talking about a diff, with her girlfriends last year but good to she is in the car stuff

There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.

Re: Shed find ute
Hey Gaz;
Did the 9" come with brakes if so what are they and if not what are you going to run, the 9" I did for Kens V8 FC came with Commodore brakes but whoever did the diff had cut the ends of the tubes when they shortened it and welded the commodore ends on.
Regards
Neil

Re: Shed find ute
Front clip off today, no rust on the upper firewall quick hose off
Now strip and freshen up the firewall with a bit of GMH Black before installing the new clip.
Oh and a few more kgs of red dirt

Re: Shed find ute
You didn’t waste any time getting the subframe off Gazza. Obviously not worth saving. Interesting the difference in condition between that and the rest of the body.
