Hey guys shes home, first Holden Ute.

Model - VU Ute - VX Front (stuffed).
Engine - V6 Auto - Stock 276xxxkms
Diff - none LSD - (stuffed making a loud whine noise)
Wheels - PDW K-10 20" wheels 245/30/20
Suspension - King Springs and Pedders Shocks.
Exhaust - Custom Local Exhaust - Video Link coming

Front guards and bar are stuffed, has a few paint issues, though nothing serious, slight surface rust in a few places from sitting for 6 months, main goal atm is to service it and get some stock springs and wheels to get through RWC, front bar replacement also etc, then clean clean clean interior.








Found a hitch hiker with her babies.

Basically over time fix her up, repair or replace most parts, make it clean and neat if possible, won't be show car quality just looked after.

Put some little work onto the ecotec engine, stage 2 cam etc, extractorsn paint, but ultimately find a ss wreck and chuck a ls1 in, first holden ute so don't wanna buy another one just convert thos over to one.

looks like a good car to fix up,nice find well done.
first thing i noticed is the engine is sitting at a weird angle,like the rear engine gear box mount has collapsed,witch would after the drive line.

second thing i noticed is passenger side wheel looks to be sitting back to much,like lower control arm bush or something going on there.

front bumper easy job,just use ice-cream container cut to size for the back and then drop fiber glass on front :)

nice pedder's rear springs they will last heaps long time
