turns out the ute is pretty rusty underneath and someone has patched up the chassis rails in the front buy welding a patch on the outside, so i think im going part it out to raise some funds to buy another rolling body of oldskool goodness

- had to take the floor out of it etc as that was like a patchwork quilt under the carpet but wasn't visible from underneath cause the plates were just blazed over the top.
- also someone has done a bit of a half arse job of the replacing the sills, by only doing the centre seen section.
- the wiper panel under the windscreen has a whole on both ends
- both front upper chassis rails have been capped
- between the strut towers and the firewall has had a plate welded in.
- top of the struts have been lazily plated over

bascially its rooted, so gonna bail on it and try and sell the other bits to recover enough to buy a shell of some kind for my ca18det

If the undesride of the Ute is rotten wouldnt that be a good thing.
If you wanna make a sled. Chop all the floor and rails out and custom make your own chassis or use another chassis to fit under it and fabricate your own flat floor. Mights as well body drop it too
