PM you Blacky!

Thanks for the info Neil, think the freight would be a killer.


Looks like I will be heading to Sydney with an empty car trailer in the very near future, if you want to meet me somewhere on the way across i can bring it with me ?

Thanks, that would be great, will you be going via Hay Plains ...

Plans are to get it running with original engine and box then as time permits to upgrade and modify. Will only have a straight six in it in our ownership and possibly go to auto trans, though I would prefer 5 speed manual, but it's not my ute!

Today I pressure washed all underneath and into all the holes etc in the frames, sills, etc until the water ran clear. It's now drip drying on the hoist in the shed.
I think I should have waited until late spring/ summer as I think it will take a long time to dry out.
Any one got a set of handbrake ...

Thanks for the info Neil, think the freight would be a killer.

G'day Clay, no thanks, on the van roof.

Thanks, the rust is just from dirt and dust that has settled onto upward facing panels and gotten wet and of coarse the half ton of mud under every surface form mud nest wasps, including massive amounts under the dash. Window surrounds are still solid and have paint, Y frames are solid, front guards ...

Thinking of possibly using a donor floor from a VP commodore wagon, it will give me mounts for seats, seatbelts rear suspension, etc and a bigger fuel tank and tunnel.

Thanks guys, currently unable to upload photos on here, click on the insert image icon and it just adds text
I'm going to try snip it and see if that works.

G' day all, after advice from those who have already reserrected an FB / EK ute on where to start / order of repair.
Got the wife an EK ute from outback NSW, full of mud nest wasps nests and desert sand and dust. Has rust above the sills in back and needs a complete floor from dash to tail gate due ...

Happy Birthday Blacky!
Nice cake!

Thanks Mate!
Are they both the same shape?
Thanks again!
