TheGenesis' 1974 HJ Ute

[TheGenesis]

Ths is the family heirloom.

Bought brand new in 1974 by my Great Great Uncle Bob, He sold it to Gran in 1978, Gran sold it to Uncle Ray in 1988, Mum bought it of him in 2001 & now i have finally taken ownership

Plan is for a full restore but may be a while away:

173ci or 186ci (haven't decided)
3 on the Tree
Bench Seat
Brown Interior
Original 5" wide rims
Sunvisor

Venetian?
Whitewalls?

Let me know what you think.

drop a 3.3 blue in there. You can use a 4 speed with the stock column shift if you can stand a separate reverse shift

Lost track of the number of h series commercials I've owned.

We actually have a 3.3 blue and 4 speed sitting here, but that's destined for my racecar

That rat rod looks great! Love the stance, tough as.

yeah it looked wild.it had 2" lowering blocks in the back and vk rear springs in the front.
would have been good to get it on the road but the $$$ changed my mind and i sold it and made over 2grand profit.
go the old school/rat rod look mate with a visor etc it will look mad
cheers
