This is where this ute sat from 1987 to 2004 , when I finally wrestled it from the original owners daughter.

Looks like you've added some electrical tape around a pillar.




Just add it to your retirement project pile. Keep her rust free in the meantime.

In Blacky's photo (on the trailer) is the area behind the seat painted or upholstered - thought was painted in body colour but in this picture looks as though was vinyl covered because of the glue that can be seen.

originally they had vinal that was held in place by a bar and then went down behind the seat.
