Wow, that is a really nice colour. The ute should look fantastic when finished.

Hey Blacky if you still lookin for horn cap with blue stars I think the one on the roller I bought last week might have that but I'll check it out when I get home from the bush.
Great lookin job on the ute by the way.

Blacky can confirm I have horn cap with blue stars but wouldnt sat it is in great condition. Looks like Kingaz may have a good one anyway but I'll be at the Armadale show on sunday so if ya still want to take a look its only a couple o minutes up the road.

Finally got a chance to get a bit done on the ute today - started putting bits back on

. I retaped and repaired the wiring harness (with black harness tape because blue is impossible to get unless i wanted a special run with a minimum of 3000 rolls

) and fitted it , put the wiper arms and posts in , fitted the vent controls , wiper valve , light and ignition switch etc then took the doors off and put the door seals on - put the doors back on and didnt scratch anything

. Fitted the quarter windows and all the crap in the doors , new bailey channels , etc. Waiting on rechromed door handles to finish them off. Finished the night off with the taillights and a bit of bling on the tailgate.

This restoring caper is a piece of piss - you just screw it together like a big meccano set !!!

... and heres some pics kiddies -
