Need carpet, roof liner, steering surround, unripped drivers door card, inside light.

Before we remove the cab again for panel beating and painting would be good to see if we can find a new drivers side door, and both front guards.

Of course, the miracle might happen and a well side.

Also a whole 521 ute for parts and spares might be well worth considering.

The 720 chassis is fine as it is and doesn't need anything that I can see.

While I agree the pinstriping is fucking awesome, its now my nephews vehicle. Not mine or yours.

After the ute getting pink stickered on the way up to Wellington (one of the listed defects was "rust" and "in disrepair") it is getting an overhaul.

So, that means the cab is coming off, getting panel beaten straight, and repainted in the original blue. So it looks original.

The wheel choice has been decided to be widened steelies power coated oldschool cream colour with stretched white wall tyres.

Apart from the wheels, the vehicle is being restored back to the standard look and style including the interior.

Why you have jumped to the conclusions you have is beyond me. Everytime you basically post about shit I am involved in you are such a negative cunt. I have only ever owned a single set of chrome rims and they were the ones already on my Nissan Leopard when I bought it about 8 years ago. Whats your problem seriously? Ever heard of politeness? Being tactful?

I have only ever helped people on here unconditionally. How about you do the same. Info and access to the bits you have mentioned would be most welcome and I would appreciate it. Hell, I would even reward you for it.
