Looking great Nick. So they want to do the panels on the car? I would expect all the gaps to be pretty good. Following with interest.
Cheers,
Clay

No, the main reason for me to pin the panels is to make it easier for transport to painters and back.

Yes, I definitely need to update this thread as there has been a fair bit done since the last post. I will give it a go on the weekend, as for Nuriootpa, probably not.

Bit of a quick update on Jimmy.
Panel and paint shop got busy for a while so I ended up turning the ute to a roller and getting a few more things done.
Front end and diff rebuilt along with other bits and pieces. Engine and gearbox reconditioned. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

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
