Re: The rusty ute
as you guys can see it had a bit of rust but i'm sure its not that bad.
alot of it was surface rust as the guy i got it of just left it in the weather for a few years
so started to get rid of all the rust and removed everything so i was left with a bare shell.

Re: The rusty ute
alrite well the tray was full of rust so that had to go bye bye...
i smoothed all the rail gutters off to give it the shaved look.
i got new front guards and now the front end is done. but i ended up shaving the front blinkers after all that effort.
well heres a few more pics...
