Sooo pretty. I can only hope I find a ute (or van at a pinch) soon and can lavish similar attention.

The big push to the end is in sight ~ just waiting for the last order from ESM. I'm booking for road worthy of the 26th
Very Happy

Feels like it's dragging on forever

Progress !

Thanks Tammy Barker

That must be a record window in, in 15 minutes

5 things on the list to do, and then it’s off for a roadworthy

Ben
What's the black bump stop on the LHS, just near the bonnet hinge , for

Bonnet flapping ?

Yes the bump stop is for bonnet vibration, all long bonnet cars should have them

Very nice looking van. The only thing that I would change is the exhaust exit position to the rear of the vehicle to make sure the fumes stay outside of the vehicle. Had the problem with my Ute's exhaust on the passenger side when I had it. Fumes nearly killed the co pilot. Quick trip to the exhaust place sorted the problem. Do you still have the wheels off the ute? I would be interested for my 2 door if available.

Hi Mick
Wheels were the first thing that I got rid of when I got the ute I absolutely hate mini lights

mick and bev · Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2023 5:42 pm Post subject:

Thanks Ben. My 2 door is due for a fair bit of work shortly (second restoration
since I have had it) and I thought a new set of wider wheels would be good. Nothing set in concrete just yet.

BenB · Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2023 5:46 pm Post subject:

All done

Good luck on the road worthy today, Ben

Regards
Kel

My first morrie was a ute converted to a tray top, like your one.

I am kind of partial to your ute rather then the panel van......LOL only because I have a panel van.

And after seeing your ute, I like it (Except for the wheels)
