Should'a stuck with the ute!  

the ute was waaaaay worse lol

ahh you'll bve right small job ay, u can weld cant you dave?

yea my welds aren't pretty but nothing a grinder cant fix

quick!!! put the heater box back in!!!

hahaha that was my first thought

[BigNorm]

i had a pos wreck a few years back where i pulled the heater box out and the firewall was rubber lined. i thought thats different never seen that before. it had rust like yours underneath and what they'd done was sikaflex a tyre tube over the top. voila rust fixed.

[davius]

yea this one had the rubber lining too, im just gonna cut the rust out though. It'll be good welding practice lol

[davius]

so I got off my ass over the long weekend...
behind the heater box is nearly done,
 
the new nose cone is on now,

I also put the 6cyl diff in and cut out the old cross member brackets and started a bit of a fire  
so its getting there slowly
Cheers, Dave.

thats the way!!

above the heater hole is a little gutter rail, dont forget to put that back in, it stops rain water that comes thru the plenum grille and runs in thru the hole.

[davius]

cheers buddy, i also put the woodgrain td dash parts in that i got from you. looks pretty good.

Coming along since i seen it.

[davius]

those roof racks are ready for you if you still want them xle_freak

[davius]

just a quick update, ive made the little gutter up and tacked it in behind the heater box, It just needs a little bog to finish off then a lick of paint. I also got those ugly ass roof racks off and put some 6cyl king springs in the front. next mission will be the cross member mounts and a little cancer removal in the floor.
