I noted your post about spigots Blacky🤗. Also how you used the bolt and grease to get it out.

Exactly the same as grease , also heard of people using bread - never tried that because it sounds stupid to me , you just need something that is incompressible and malleable I guess. The wet newspaper works well and i just leave it to dry and its easy to dig out and clean up

Brett,

The HR front suspension has LC-J Torana discs and calipers fitted to it. But it probably won't make any difference from a user's point of view.

Utes come in handy for storing junk, that is until you want to drive it and you have unload them first :frownn:

Just a bit of forward planning while waiting for paint to dry...
What are people using for the reinforcement panel inside ute sills? I have some to do.
