Beam is out, plenty of dirt, shift rod removal is always fun..

Time to get it onto the hoops and rolling around.
Plans - Paint it.. (Just kidding). Bit of rust to fix around the place, king link pin front, swing axle rear, bit of chrome, increased hp and braking, registered by christmas?

At first I thought I read this wrong - this ute will be at Valla? :shock: Wow, fastest resto ever!!

Then I saw the key word - 'a'

"....looking forward to seeing it at a valla..."

Nice to see a '61 SC saved but wow, you got a lot of work ahead of you. Good onya! Get stuck in..... :D

That's awesome work. I love those hoop rotisseries - I reckon they're the best design. Well done, mate :D :D 8) 8)
