kiwi808 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 New ute looks like a score! Can you take some close up pictures of the bottom sill work on the tray? I want to do that to mine. Also, 12a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Nah, no thread. On my wellside the previous owner has extended the side down to match the sill height but hasn't done the step. So it kind looks a bit naf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I'm not planning on doing too much to it tbh. Bit of low and change the wellside sill and then continue to drive it. I was going to brap it, but have to rebuild the FC (again) first, so that thought is on hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feathersword Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The previous owner of that ute is a good friend of mine, and is stoked to see how quickly you are progressing with it! He spent a fair wack of money getting it painted a little over a year ago, and we were sad to see it go. I'll keep him posted on your progress 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 hey dude, love your work!!! always wanted one of these! what differentiates the japanese wellside from other wellsides? Is it the tailgate and the lower extension that follows on from the cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
