OK heres the latest on the datto, ive been really slack on the website side of things, apologies, but i have however got a fair bit of progress done on the ute.
Sooo i cut both the sills off and found some cute corrosion to deal to, what a surprise
Due to the design both the floor and cab mounts have rusted through...
....so i made up some new mounts
Heres one side all cut out ready for new steel, the whole lover portion of the inner sill was rotten also so that needed replacement.
And this is it almost completed
The other side looked basically the same
Heres an inside shot of the other side
And heres one of the new sills i folded up, not too sure if the profile is correct as the one i removed had been crudely replaced before, as long as it looks close i suppose, hope no one will notice if its out haha
And after stripping the bonnet i found some serious damage, so i guess that's the next on the list to repair
Any way heres most of the crap i have removed so far, decided to keep it all to use as motivation to finish this thing.
On another note, im genuinely considering trying to make a matching well-side tray, so ill keep you posted on that if it ever eventuates,
chur
, shame that the last owners couldn't look after it properly 
just thought I'd add that I have New kingpin kits for these utes if you decide to keep the original front end in situ, am looking for a 720 myself to ad to my collection.
