Thanks Stephen.

Hey, does anyone have pics of how they repaired the leg in front of the rear leaf spring hanger, running out to the sill??

Thanks,
Cobber.

Any updates on this one Mick???

Good Evening All,

Cheers Trev, Feel like I may be going overboard with photos some days, but it does make a good record, and already is good to look back on.

Got back in the shed to weld in one of those sill sections the other night. Had another couple of pieces to tap into shape and then weld in ...

Had a day off last week and was able to put two front inner sill sections together.
Been done by many before me but this is how I did it.
Would have got one section in but angle grinder decided to have a fight with my thumb so finished up early with quick visit to ER for stitches before going away ...

Another engineering marvel!! Love the work to the rear floor so it can be dropped into the weeds.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys.

I was lucky with the freight Devilrod. We were getting a new feed truck for work so I just had everything shipped to dodge city and the guys building the feed truck packed it in the back for me. Worked out well given the dollar was where it was at the time which was an added bonus ...

A Few more photos for you all.

Hasn't been a lot happening lately with some fencing needing to be done and a bit of pasture to sow. Anyway here is what has happened this week, and with the weekend still in store I might get a bit more done.
Started cleaning up inside the cab. Stripped the top of ...

Hi Again Guru's,

Thanks for the words of support from everyone and any words of wisdom. (there are a lot of wise words on this site - maybe a list of the top 20 tips could be put together)

Have added another few photos. I cleaned up the bonnet, welded the holes from the badges up, tapped out a few ...

G'day FBEK Guru's,

Not a lot to show this post, but this picture does show what feels like a bit of a milestone.
Undercoat down the left hand side. Roof and bonnet will follow shortly. Just a little prep work to do on these first.

Well FBEK Guru's, been a bit on lately. unfortunately not much which results in completing work on the ute.

Spent a night in the shed this week though and managed to cut out a dent in the lower left side behind the door and weld in a piece I cut from a sad door which had a piece big enough in ok ...

Neat ute to start with. Real tidy repairs. Should be back cruising in no time


Spatman.

Latest work was on the lower corner of the door jam. This was a section I tried to fix once before and the effort was terrible and not worth posting. If I couldn't improve on that first effort there was going to be no point gong any further. Anyway, from watching what has been done on the forum here ...

This thing is going to be sooo cooool!!
I bet an after shot of the finished ute on that trailer will make it look bigger because that thing is going to be FAT !!!
Keep the pics coming.

Cobber.

Good Morning to you all :D ( I am definitely not a morning person).

I managed to get the second strengthening plate welded on to the subframe during the week and put rust converter on it.
Only had to die-grind the single bolt hole on the leg of the plate a little to make them fit properly ...

Good Evening Everyone. Waiting for it to cool down a bit before I go to the shed and start playing again!!!
So thought I would post another couple of pic's of what has happened this week.
Let me know if the pic's aren't interesting enough and I can not post so many.

Had a kink in the subframe I had ...
