I see a theme here,,I think Agro like the colour blue,,

I'd love to have my van in that colour Geoff.
But i wouldn't be able to paint that colour.

And this is how you keep your girlfriend, busy give her a hammer and tell her to knock the body filler. Out of the guard

That's a good one.
Did you get the pm i sent you?

Started putting the side back together

Still at the panno's, we are just working out how to fit the fuel cell and make it legal.With the filler behind the taillight, Having a few problems, with the engineer at this time but we will sort it out.I need a new job, before i can finish it off that's why i am working on the Ute as it cost nothing as i'm doing all the welding myself.With dads help

Ready for rego

Still has a big hole

Making a new side out of a l/h mudguard

Ps the van you can see in the background is a fc/b i think

nice to see it progressing. dont think the open air rear end will catch on though

1 Upper Tailgate the one where the glass goes
1 Lower tailgate ute
1 Spare door cover
2 Std mud guards
