Yeh bro this gonna be a sweet little ute

Its something that hasnt really been done too often as far as I can see aswell thats why i love it! Havent really thought about what is going to be putting the power to the wheels yet...

Got the ute back from sodablasting today, looks great. Will try get some photos up tomorrow! Need to get some primer onto it as soon as possible now is the next job.

anyone with the knowledge maybe available to rock round sometime and check out the ute and give me some advice on what to do next? need to get primer on it asap but need some info on what prep needs to be done.

Trying to get rid of my ute diff to bede but need to find something to put in its place first. In the end im aiming for 300-350hp so really need some advice on the best diff etc. Shortened hilux i guess is a safe option but wondering there do you try find one already shortened to the right size or just get one and get it done yourself?

you will have more luck doing it yourself, as i doubt it would be easy to find one already done. a bit out of the box, but maybe an s13 rear end?

Yeah could be an option. Really wanting to get this stuff sorted before I get into panel and paint etc.

pretty sure an s13 is irs aye bud
