So the ute got stickered a while back in march for no warrant, the cop even let me put the sticker on myself.
he didnt fine me the $200 as i was actually on a mission to get the parts nessesary to fix warrant issues.

so its been in wals workshop for a wee bit now and all rust has been dealt with, he has also got rid of the old factory mounts and made/making new ones that fit the 5spd box with a factory look to avoid cert process.

after i get it back il put the tierod end in and take it for its warrant.

it will eventually end up with the A15 that was in the coupe, but before fitting it i plan to get someone who knows there stuff to check it over fully to see what needs doing, and factory paint spec it all.

the ute is home!

REALLY need to sort front disks out, for better braking, and because the brakes need an over haul as only the back ones work, effectively no brakes the whole way home despite a good bleed etc.

but super stoked its all back :mrgreen:
