Hi my name is Neville, Just got this morris ute 1957 from one of the members from this site cant wait to start working on rebuilding her. I think i will be asking a lot of questions along the way for help. Allready been going through lots of forums great information. Cant decide weather to rebuild back to original or modified, got two sons they say modified, what would some of you do? Anyway thanks talk soon.

Well done, another Ute, go Corolla or Datsun for power, cheap, reliable, quick enough for every day use.
A 1275 with a 5 speed will also work as a good every day Ute.
Take lots of photos and post them up for us all to see

Hi Nevstoy
welcome to the Forum
If you end up modifying the ute I have a customer that is after a original bench seat.
If you don't need it, let me know and I can put you in touch with him
cheers
Darren

Thank you all for getting back to me, I think modified is the way to go. Robbo what you have done sounds good reliable daily driver if i want to use it that way, I will take you up on that look at your one pm me with your number. Bruce John Sam Graham thanks for your help, and Frosty said i cant call it a HER that made me laugh. Libbor i checked out your project we all need to pat you on the back for such a good job. some one willing to try new ideas. As for the seat i havent made up my mind if i am going to use it yet if i dont i will let you know. I will post pictures along the way, but this is going to be a slow build as i still work and only have weekends. Thanks again MORRY MATES

Interesting photo Nev
From the look of the pic it appears as if it has had a prang from the RH side but the bumper iron on that side looks OK ??
Has the front part of the chassis rail appear to have been repaired or replaced before?
cheers
