Fair bit of elbow grease there mate...nice work

[83 WB_Ute]

how do you get cowls that good man!?? impossible to find in WA

Haha I dunno, but you'll be really annoyed when I tell you that the ute was exactly the same as the pics above! haha
The outer skin is mint, and the D/S inner is mint, but the P/S is showing a few signs that it could have some tin worm developing, so the whole cowel will come off to do it once and do it right

Fair bit of elbow grease there mate...nice work

Haha Cheers brother There's lots of hard work ahead, but it'll be worth it in the long run :D 2 days and I had about 30% of the van stripped, tough going with the grinder and the wire wheel haha

That's all done this weekend, and everywhere that has matte black paint has been bare metaled





Lights in as a bit of a motivator haha



Found this dint under about 3/4'' of bog :/

That's it for now, hopefully I'll have the other side bare metaled next weekend :D

Cheers mate Yeah, I'm surprised that its as good as it is, considering it sat idle outside since 1998 until I bought it!

Yeah, I hate the sunroof :/ I'm trying to source a good roof cut from a rooted van to fill it in, it'll be a big job, but it will be worth it in the long run
