Thanks guys. Here's a few photos of the ute earning its keep in the farm with the second owner Arthur. Arthur purchased the ute in 1984 for $350.00ImageImageImageImage

Blue loom tape, where did you get it? Thought that was only for FB specials.
The floor mat looks great Nick. One of Martin’s no doubt. Looks a bit different from memory. FC?

Yes. FC front floor mat. That's why I didn't think it looked out of place. My bad.

My ute originally had blue loom tape - couldn't buy it anywhere when I was putting it back together in 2010.

unless your minimum order was 3000 rolls ............................
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.

I'm assuming that the blue loom tape is original, I just cleaned what was in it and put it back in.
The rubber mat was purchased from All car carpets as an EK one so not sure on that

Yes, the goal was and still is to try and get it done by the 28th of May. The 60 year anniversary of first delivery. Just not too sure I'll get there.Image

Bit more of an update on where I'm currently up to. Engine and box in, roof lining done but has a few wrinkles and doors in. Waiting on radiator, windscreen,
windows and door cards to come back from upholster.
