Yes mate, Torana back bit - FB front bit , all the rest of the cables are stock FB.

Looks like you're still having fun Clay, just had a skim. Great to catch up on all the goings on!

Looking forward to seeing the 7" steelies installed.

Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

Post by Errol62 »

Bit of progress despite being hampered by dodgy toes I dislocated playing soccer barefoot on the beach with 16 year olds.

Got the car bum up high as I can ready to get to work.

Cleaned, primed and painted the diff hump underside where I had stitch welded reinforcing in around shock mounts from the top. Stripped brakes and cleaned Torana axle ready for welding sway bar mounts.

Cleaned up shocks ready for prep and paint. Spring perches soaking in citric acid.

New handbrake cable came and a die to clean up the threads on all the hardware I am reusing.
