V6HQUTE Ute Build

[V6HQUTE]

cheers guys, im planning on doing a pannel beating/painting course too as soon as ive finished the welding course, i quiet injoy fixing stuff, even rust repairs, i like doing custom stuff, stuff you cant buy off the shelf, this project is fairly tame modification wise, i plan to do heaps more next time, v8, tubbed, super charged or turbo a 5 or 10 year fiddle when i want project, but visually doesnt look highly modified, all under bonnet, mabey a brock replica commodore or a torana hatch, my ute was meant to be done in may for my ps, but its still a while of yet i reckon itll be next year and it might be getting close

Great stuff Myles! If you keep up the work you might find some members on here wanting to enlist your services to do some panel work for their projects!
Might be a business idea for you seeing you enjoy it so much and look like you know what your doing!
The resto business in Oz is only getting bigger and you could cash in on some of it!

thanks mate, im just about finished with the major pannel work on this ute, im working on getting the whole thing high filled, ive been doing a bit of pannel beating which is good learning stuff, id be up for the challenge but i doubt anyone on here would want some 17yr old working on there sandman, i cant wait to finish mine, 1 so i can get rid of the little camry daily asap and 2 so i can start another project, i think id proabally try find something a bit rough, so its cheaper and gives me somthing to do, yeah a business would be good and i would like to cash in on it:Chin: , just old stuff, metal not plastic rubbish, actually fix pannels not just order new ones,

thanks hx and oz, is this sorta stuff uncommon on here i thought this is what everyone did in there shed, fixing their utes and vans, i presume by pg13 you mean the door, it could have been better the door skin didnt come away very easy even with it inpicked, so when i put the new bit in i doesnt look the same, but who looks there if i ever need to door a bit of bog will fix it, ill go take a pic of the finished product see what you all reckon

heres a pic of what the passenger guard ended up like, but for some reason it wouldnt fit, the car must have hit something softly, enough to twist the front clip but no damage the pannels because the holes into the nosecone were about 1/2" out, will put it away one day someone might be desperate enought to try make it work

heres the door cant see it real well because of the rust sealer/converter stuff i painted on


and for any ute owners heres a tool/storage box i made for my yr10 metal work project, sealed and locks, all fitted to the back of the cab, took alot of test fitting to get it right, this is the front, to the cab wall
