Decided to give the ute floor a bit of a birthday yesterday, got some new carpet and some “Resomat”

Will give it the KBS treatment rust blast & rustcoat, needed a break from welding on the wagon anyway.

The floor is in really good nick, a few minor spots & that's it.

Cheers

Wire buff found a few small holes, nothing to major, will replace floor pans next year, for now it fix & drive. :thumbsup:

KBS System works very well & simple to use. Needs good ventilation

Reso Matt in today, seats back in tomorrow morning, Paint the new kick panels then off for a cruise. 8) Its much eaier to install when cut into small sections. Should have looked at the picture on the box :roll:

Pub lunch in order, I think, will be interesting to see what difference the Reso matt makes? If any. :)

Sending one on the many spare Grey Motor heads to the local machinists for a freshen up. :)

V6 valves porting ect.

A Wade 446 cam & twin Stromberg's unless I can fine some triples.

Gave the Twin manifold a clean up this arvo just need to drop the cabs of for an acid clean to remove the paint ( bloody EBay) and the a kit through both. :thumbsup:

Fleck coat the tray internals screw the timber in and the ute is done. :thumbsup:

Cheers

Might struggle a bit with that intake, by the angle of the carbs it looks like it's a marine one ( engine tilted a lot more than in a car ) Just my 2c
