bought off orig owner, sold new light motors adelaide-still has dash sticker, owners manual etc, i sold ute to barny and then got all emotional, so bought it back, still sporting super powerful 20- engine(30hp) everything still works, brakes lights etc.

plan is to repair rust, and detail rest of ute to original, without paint, not sure of suspension or engine yet. suggestions appreciated. probably later 46mm reduction hubs, 1600 singleport, 6v electrics.

Good plan Andrew. You're right, the paint looks to good to cover up. She looks like she'd come up a treat.

Sounds like an easy historic rego option if you go that way. What a very sweet ute
