would you sell the superlites and tyres?

Gidday Chris, was that the ute I saw you in the other day ? I thought you had an ex lenditch ute or have you got two utes now? Looked tidy as anyway!

sorry dan, not at this point in time. Was thinking hard about it though. If i had money to spare (wagon eating a lot of it) then id get in a few
sets from japan and sell the superlites onwards. Keep an eye out

Yea dude that was me in the ute. It is a lendich ute, its just been somewhat
modifyd thanks for the comments

Must have new pics of the wag at the beaters by now?

went past on the way home today. Should be done next week
And a HUGE thanks to Chris, that bloody good c**t, is supplying me with a tailgate and pulling the
small dent out of it thats there this week. Mine is going straight in the bin.

So far the awsome guys at bute have shrunken (considerably) and beated and pulled and worked
the rear quarter panel till its almost perf. So happy. The photos show the skim coat to smooth it
all out. Still needs to be blocked, primered, blocked and primered again.
Its so refreshing to see things done properly and not with a spatular and a bucket of bog
I'll shut up now and show the pics:









Obviously theres still a bit of work to be done but you get the idea.
That horrid bit of rotten metal im holding is the bottom of the rear quarter that was cut out and replaced.
Did a fab job of it aswell. I think i will get them to do a few more things to it whilst its there. The body is
aqually pretty good condition, just a spot here and a bit of a dent there but over all super stoked

sound progress man, must be the some of the most satisfying moments in building a datto!!!

sweet man.
I heard that your only getting that tail gate if you promise to come on next years akaroa Labour weekend cruise!

haha yea he muttered something about that
You know id be there if it wasnt right when i have uni exams not having any money
to get there doesnt help either. No doubt i will get down there one of these days

rear quarter..... is done and primed
Pics:






Highly recommend bute collision repairs for any oldschool panel/rust work. They're trying to do more of it but collision work usually pays the bills.
Awsome guys to deal with and work fast, smiles all round except from my bank account

SO, the rear quarter is done. There are a few more areas to work on, straightening up the door, bit of a bubble in the panel infront of the windscreen,
and a bit of rust under the ol battery box. Money is running short so will have to wait for some more funds before more progress is made. Uni isnt making it easy.

damn they did an aws job on that gaurd

nice progress to dude. dont worry about the bank account as when shes done it wont matter at all
