Like an A series!!!

I'd only be adding the weight of a passenger (60kg ish)

Agreed, but most passengers don't bonnet surf, well not all the time. The grunt would be fun but these utes are fun because of their balanced nimble handling, you could loose that, and 2-3 years build time

Indeed, but I've got a year to build it now... lol
I think It should be a stocko to start off with (Less $$$ involved)

a pic from stuff.co.nz

keep the ute a series powered man, even a standard engine can be fun. my ute just has extractors but a decent amount of suspension work with some decent tyres, and its a hell of a lot of fun. it doesnt have long legs. but it will keep up with alot of other cars in the corners.

Very lucky young fella looking by the photos Bert, glad to hear you are OK and thats the main thing!

And one my vote for keeping A series (from a biased A series fan!)

Lol I'm still only thinking about the lumpy L20b for the Ute.. most likely won't happen, but we'll see...

Anyway, who's keen on some 910 bits? lol Everything's up for grabs!
- 2 month old front lowering springs (present settled and ready to roll)
- Front and Rear suspension
- Interior.
- I've got BRAND NEW rack ends (didn't get around to fitting them for next WOF)
- 1x front right headlight
- 1x left rear taillight
- 1 pair or front bumper indicators (complete)
- 1 pair of front guard indercators (next to headlights)
- RH rear door glass.
- 3 month old boot seal
- 2x grills. One honeycomb one horizontal bars.
- all the intact chrome.
- 1x full set of factory option Cheviot alloys (undecided as to keeping them as yet, but you never know...)
- Full set of locks & handles

Let me know what you want and an offer...
And if your coming on the top of the south cruise, you can collect them on your way past and save $$
