Shed find ute
Now back to the ute
Painting all the small bit after a swim in the Citric
Then made up some dust covers so I can blast the nine inch, I have a few diffs to do
Trial fit of the diff, then remove tomorrow and blast and paint and get it rolling
Will be good to get it off the hoist
Poor old wagon looking neglected
All packed away until morning

Trial fit the 7 inch rims on the nine inch, about an inch clearance on the outside and an inch & 3/4 on the inside
Looking at 225’s so may have to reset the rims

Re: Shed find ute
That sounds about right for 205s. Unless you have really stiff sway bars you’ll get rubbing o the inside with body roll.

Got the back wheels on even with a 2 1/2 inch reset on the springs still looks like a 4x4 ha ha might make some lowering blocks so I can see how much I have to lower it
Get the chassis kit plates back from the plasma cutters next week then fit it all so I can clear the hoist for the Nats
Hope no one needs it
