feathersword- cheers mate, yeah he seemed like a good dude super easy and helpful, pretty sad to be getting rid of the rotary chassis he had done as its really well done, yeah i could imagine I'm stoked with it he's done a really good job of it. Bistro- Cheers! the japanese well side has more of a curve in the side where as the nz well side is more flat looking and also the top edge of deck is rounded where is a nz is a square edge, and the tailgates are different. the lower extension has been added, they usually don't have it and it kind of looks funny where it steps up

Where did you get it from Matteybean? rough size of sheet? this is what i came across while having a search online http://www.jaycar.co.nz/Sight-%26-Sound-Car/Car-Audio-Hardware/Car-Hardware-Accessories/Butyl-Based-Sound-Deadening-Material/p/AX3687

anyone used the jay car sound deadening? or any other product out there good but not dynamite pricey?

inspiration

choice man so is that an engineer to repair cert it? looks like you have been hoarding your self a good stash of goodies for it haha

yeah eventually it will, yeap compatible with small mods i think, just need need to shift the headlight buckets. will be comparing it all this week to see what its going to involve

bet your stoked with how solid it is, such a cool shaped car!

kiwi808- cool man, throw a photo up in this thread be keen to see what its like, fair enough mate sucks to hear about your motor Liam-B- cheers man, I'm pretty chuffed with how its coming along now. got to love old white utes with whitewalls! rustisize- the rotary chassis will be up for sale shortly

bummer, will get you some photos when I'm next at my shed, should get a thread going be good to see what your doing with it

yeah mate will do, they haven't done a bad job of it i thought looks pretty good, looks way better than a big step up like factory. is there a thread on yours? keen to see

well got the cab all swapped over today and put new rubber mounts and bolts in, need to run the wiring to tail lights, buy a fuel pump (and wire it in) and hook up the rear brakes before swap the wellside over, after having a good look over it pretty happy with it. lots of jobs to do now -sort wiring out -swap in lsd diff nugget with better ratio -dynamat and carpet -get door cards re-covered to match bench seat -paint exhaust manifold -clean up intake manifold and carb/airbox lots to keep me busy

cool build man, a guy comes into work with a really tidy blue one on steelies and hubcaps it looks really awesome, it will be neat with a rotary! I've also had two cars certified with barry super nice guy

so this turned up today, i had started to lose motivation in the ute with how bad the cab was to repair and was struggling to find another one solid enough to justify buying and carrying on with, then I came across this its a rolling body but was running a 12a, so i brought with the plan to swap the cab and well side onto my chassis. i forgot to take photos until i had already got it onto the hoist but its been panelled and painted at some stage and has the jap well side, and more to the point no rust, so i got stuck into it after work and have disconnected all the wiring, brake lines, handbrake ect and started raising the cab off the chassis ready to roll it out and roll mine under. hopefully get it back on the other chassis tomorrow

haha yeah mate i remember that lancer, its a cool little car

nah not a rebuilt motor sorry, i just chucked in a second hand engine and got it going again

so i have got another ute coming, will get some photos up when it gets here

do you have hubcaps for this? mk1 wagons are so cool!

i had this sigma about four or so years ago, two weeks after i brought it the head gasket blew!

nice car man! love the mesh wheels

love your work, inspiring me to have a go at some of my own panel work

nice mate just widen the standard rims to fill the guards better, looking forward to following your progress, yeah mini lites do look the business on cortinas, its going to look the part when your done

just read your build thread, what a awesome job you have done so far! i love mk2 cortinas, pretty choice you scored some gt seats, what rims are you going with? factory rims widened with hubcaps look cool

finally got some motivation to get back into this so stripped the well side back to bare metal and removed the old plain tailgate and got the mazda embossed one on i stripped all the sides back to bare steel and cleaned up the inside of the tray and painted it all black the new tailgate has no hooks on it and it looks way more cleaner in my opinion so i removed them (they were in bad condition to and had started to get rust hole in the tips) then i etch primed all the bare metal to seal it off, all in all its not in to bad condition some areas need a bit of attention to try straighten up or it may be easier to make up some new pieces to stitch in need to strip the tailgate next, also bench seat is almost finished getting upholstered looking forward to getting that back

awesome video love the widened steelies and hubcap look it never gets old ps i like your shed
