Dattodevil's GB120 Ute
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 5:18 pm
It all Started in April 1997, I spotted a little 1200 Ute in the buy sell & exchange, I took a trip out in my KE25 corolla and had a look. Happy with what I could see, a fairly worn 1200 ute, canopy, 12" SSS wheels, and whole box of parts. I Organised a car transporter, hooked it up on the back of the corolla and took it home.
So I sold the corolla, removed the canopy, fitted the best of the parts I had to it, fitted a battery, filled it up with gas and drove it for about 2 years. Finally it failed it's WOF (and I was the inspector), so I parked it in the garage. Slowly (Very slowly) I began the rebuild process, putting ideas into place and having a dream of how I wanted the final product. That slowly evolved over time and around 2004, the Magic started to happen.
And that brings us to now, the ute is still evolving, rusting, and becoming the vehicle that I need and want.
