The L67 Ute

[losh1971]

I love the idea of a hard lid just not practical for me with the dog and the need to carry loads. But damn they look good.

If you were close by I'd be interested in your tonneau cover, if it was for sale. Mine was cut out for the sailplane and looks dodge now i removed it.

Losh give me a day or two and i will see what i can do. I need one for the blue ute but i have a good spare one now. My m8 just picked up another ute yesterday for next to nothing, if he doesn't need it i will send it down your way.

Guy got back to me about a VS Monaro bonnet he had for sale.
Picked it up for $200. It has a small crack and a few chips but will come up good with a little work.
Now we got a sexy look going on lol.

I sore a few years ago a 4x with a hard lid and a couple of holes for dogs to sit head out and enjoy the outdoors ( mainly because at lights his dog was sitting with his head out ) , would have to be very careful though!!!!!!

Fitted a new door seal rubber today, still very spongy to close but it should settle down in a day or so.

Fitted the VE Big Brake Kit today as well.
It is a straight bolt on with new Rotors , Calipers, Pads and an adapter brackets. Only thing i had to do was cut the backing plate to fit the caliper in place, same brake hose connection.
On 17's all you see is the rotor taking the whole area, i will get another pic tomorow

 

[Phillbert]

Not the best pic but can see not much room between the wheel and caliper

Didn't get a chance to do anything today but tomorrow i will bleed them to finish it off.

Next i will start stripping things down for the motor transplant.

Been busy doing little things to tidy the unit up, nothing much to report lol
My Blue Billet Oil Cap turned up in the mail box, this will add a bit of bling with a set of polished covers.

 

[losh1971]

Where did you get the oil cap?

ebay $50 plus $10 postage.
can come in different colours depends on which one you want.
I will eventually add blue radiator hoses, blue leads, blue vac and other hoses..
