figured it would be rude to put a nice shiny cab on a rough looking chassis so we have spend a bit of time giving it a tidy up and putting in nice new ball joints/tie rods etc

And now we have a nice shiny rust free cab to put on the chassis! starting putting parts back on now! wal will have some photos of the stuff in between

woo hoo - will be as good as new!

bet you guys cant wait to finish fitting this out and getting it back on the road

nice work by all involved

cheers kitch! definitely nice getting it tidied up and getting rid of all the rust and other crap that was in it.

should go much nicer with the sr20det in it as well

and yesterday this happened

Shit it bet that was a task and a half!
Have to be soo careful with new paint etc...........

Had a few people round and just lifted it over the motor so that wasn't too bad. Thankfully no dramas with gearbox clearance which I thought we might have. Only pain in the arse was getting the stearing column back in

Just been busy working on the ute the last few days. Random pictures of progress in no real order. Most of interior back in and getting cracking on wiring. Engine loom side sorted and nice and tidy, other side not so much as you can see below. Though we rigged it up and got a first start video the other night. Stale fuel and dodge wiring but fired up no problem. Video on my Facebook but will try put on youtube later for others
