Seems to have been a Melbourne thing to solder up the rivet holes on the body and tare plates. I've not seen this on Adelaide or Sydney cars.

Nice - thats a montana grey same as mine with red and silver trim


You’ll find me lost somewhere!

2845M is pretty early for a ute - looks like late 61 to early 62 - i will send to Steve jackson and see if he can narrow it down but numbers all look about right timeline

thanks

I spent a bit more time with the wire brush under the car - gotta be a milestone right there...starting to see the finer detail

Love that detail Patrick.


FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie

Fast delivery: geez, I only decided to go with this stuff on Wednesday evening and here it is.

For in-between the roof and headliner, I wanted something lightweight. Being a Ute, it's only a small space so I reckon I can do without the weight of anti-drumming products.

I've previously had problems with other products 'melting' (even in the box in the shed), so I don't want to take that chance up there

I stuck the insulation on the roof - plenty of time now before the headlining goes in - to make sure it doesn't sag. It's really sticky and lightweight so should be good. It took one sheet of 1200 x 900 x 6mm.

One front piece of 1200 x 520mm (with some tabs to go under the centre brace where they would fit)
...and one rear piece of 1200x 320mm (curved to 270mm) and then some off-cuts on the ends because the roof is a bit more than 1200mm.

I started at the centre-line (and got the tabs under the centre brace) and then worked towards the doors - I doubt you could re-position this particular product even if you tried immediately.

Cutting it into lots of small pieces would have been easier.

another delivery - a bit ahead of myself I suppose ... but cold weather is buying time


Patrick

tailgate skin arrived - - - and the sun came out this afternoon so I tinkered


The tailgate was pretty beat up and had some previous putty patches cracking up



I took the old skin off and tidied the rest up a bit - nothing fancy, just tapped it into a 'better' shape



Got finished at beer o'clock - paint can wait for another day

Nothing should interfere with BEER O'CLOCK OH good job don't work to hard there is always another BEER O'CLOCK tomorrow
