patty06 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hi, I am new to old school and well forums altogether so bear with me as i get used to it haha. This is my 1957 or 54 (Im not crystal on the year) Standard 10 Ute Bloody gem if you ask me. It is for lack of better word....Rooted. There is proper flintsoneing going on in both footwells and the sills are pretty much non existent. Also the entire bottom skin on the underside of the vehicle has completely vanished - taking with it pretty much all the mounts holding the leaf springs and all accosiated links. Why would you want to restore this you absolute moron?! You may ask, And normally i would agree as im a lazy ass beer drinking dude. But it has been passed onto me so i feel kind of obligated. And i actually like it, and wanna give it a bit of low, and maybe something of the k series line up from toyota. And widen the factory steelies But for now try and focus on making it a vehicle again, not a glorified sieve.

Threeonthetree Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 You almost had it. Just need to right click on your image on imageshack, select 'copy image location' and then paste that into the bar which appears when you click the small green photo looking icon when posting a topic (it's below the yellow smiley face and next to these symbols: <>).

patty06 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 No photos today as I'm on my phone and it takes a bajillion mb to upload them. But I got the bonnet off and stripped it down to bare steel and phosphoroused it, found a bit of rust and is going to need a few patches but I'll wait till I can get the ute upto work and fit it all up to see the shape of patches I need to make, prob a good thing as let the phosphorous stay on there as long as possible. Also it's good solid mild steel panel so extra bonus there as will have something to weld to! Lol Am just going to attack it one removable panel at a time until I'm at the core vehicle and the real headaches and screaming sessions begin. Also found a website that sells reproduction parts to replace just about everything on the uterus, which is super fucking cool but I still can't decide to go all japanesey on it and lop a 3 or 4k in there. So will compile a list of crap that I'll need. But for now I'll order in a sheet of 1.6 or 1.8 steel and get to le work on the beast. Doors off tonight and all the parts stripped out. Photos next post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
