MY FB UTE

Hey Everyone,

Here are a few pics of my FB Ute, currently getting a new paint job.
This is what we did over the easter weekend pulled her apart, sanded (by hand i'll add) and put her underwear on (primer)

Plan is to have her painted next weekend in Teal Metallic.

Trying to keep the look original as possible she has a 186 at the moment changing from manual to auto. Upholstery will be done in the coming weeks as she has to be ready by the 9th may.

More pics will be added as time goes on.

My dog Maloo.... she loves cars and loves being in your way when you try and work on them.

First Coat of primer

I saw that EK Wag, though, I thought the Plenum Chamber Cover is harder to replace and not usually replaced compared to the others.
