well we've gained another project, '70 hg Belmont ute, has abit of rust but fairly straight, no motor or box, drum brake front (will go to disc's) crossmember has been chopped out for an RB, but will fix it and hopefully just go a 202 auto, make it a nice cruiser, maybe a Monaro paint scheme, with some wider wheels and hubcaps maybe,

 

5 project vehicles, just need to work out what should come next,

Jesus mate your worse than me. 

 

I worked out a long time ago that projects go a lot quicker when you only have one..... Sadly I cant do that hahaha. 

 

Sounds cool though!

Try it on a rusty wagon or sedan first. Utes are hard to find even rusty ones.

There is a mint round headlight single cab 4x4 Hilux near to me for sale, circa 1980-ish N30?. But you sound like you want an old N10, bugger all of these left today. You might find an old Chevy Luv cheap or the Isuzu that replaced it in the GMH line-up in the later 70's.

 

Bomber, just PM'ed you.
