Hahaha yea man thats pretty much it, the engine swap is a bit rough to say the least! Its not too bad as far as i can see so far, a bit of rust at the bottom of the right B pillar, a wee bit in the left door. The tail gate is too far gone to save though i think. Yea theres a dude with a couple rotarys floating around i think?

awesome find! bugger about the lapsed vin but it is a worth while vehicle to restore. I am hopeing you have plans to keep it in factory yellow!!!

Cheers! Yea will be worth it for sure! Ute was white standard but yes will keep it same kind of colour, have to find out what standard colours they came out in. I like the idea of a mustard/creamy kinda yellow.

Mean. I got your utes older brother!

Are you going to keep all of the Pistons or sneak a 13bpt into it.

 

Sweet!! 1500? Yea going to keep all those pistons i recon, feel bad cutting it up! If i was to put a rotary in it id like to go 10a but they are pretty fucking rare too now or just go the whole hog 13bbpt. But 1200 it will be i hope

Ah yes, the old commercial white haha. Glad you've got your eye on a nice factory colour, I've always had a soft spot for the pale yellow myself!
