Long time since my last post. Ammo's ute has progressed since June but is now at a stand still. and will be for a few months. . In early August, I was up in the front guard hiding the wiring for indicator lights wire when I smashed my head on the inner guard. As normal I did not think much of it as ...

Yes, Richard is VP again.
My bad.

We had our AGM last night and I'm happy to announce the committee was re-elected.

Strong financials and members...

International body on Holden chassis and running gear. Inter.JPG More projects with the FJ from the 70's projects.JP...

Just so that you know that I care about my crusty wagon, I lifted the radiator cap the other day and the tank was half filled.
Good to go again.

Picked some indicator surrounds and the guard strips from A CLass yesterday. Chromed Id.JPG As always, good quality chroming and the surrounds had a crack that had to to fixed. these pieces were there for nearly 8 weeks I can see why there are painted or powder coating bumper etc as the cost of good...

Purchased a fender roller as the 15 x 6" with 185 tyres, still rub. Guard roller.JPG With a little care I rolled the inner lip and now the ute sits on 4 wheel at the " final " height. rolled.JPG I did have to trim to inner lip as there is a double lip that would not move. Happy with i...

Thanks for posting the pic's Clay. As I was coming into Auburn, I carefully applied the brakes to slow down. The pedal went straight to the floor. No real drama, just pull over and stop with the parking break. Rolled under and the right hand hard brake line broken, bugger I said. :oops: A young loca...

I changed the filters in the mask first up. Followed the advise from the paint shop and now I have 2 front wheels that match the rears. I decided to paint outside of the shed but had to hang some sheets to block the breeze. paint 3.JPG All painted with clear on top. paint 1.JPG I painted the inside ...

It was so strange rubbing off the shiny surface when most times we are doing the opposite to get shine. All done with old 320 grit and I think my fingers are a little shorter now. :lol: :lol: Chased around looking for VHT wheel paint without any luck but I was direct to a company, Paint Tech in Wind...

These bloody wheels are giving me the s%#t. Powder coaters have limited colours and me crash repair painter told me cost would very high as the wheels will need to be scruffed / hand sanded. So what to do. Do it your self I hear. :lol: :lol: Lots of research on the internet with most doing 2K. I wil...

I have been working on the ute but too little show. A little while back I chipped the paint on the front guard so thinking it would a quick fix, I got into it. A little sand and fill then under coat and then colour with clear on top. I did not like what I saw, so after a quick discussion with myself...
