WB Ute, Injected 5 litre Project.

[383 hatch]

No, its purely because the WB statesman front is the best looking WB front ever made.....Commercial fronts look crap!

Btw, i don't follow what everyone else does/likes, i build a car for myself. If people like it, then all good, but if they dont bad luck, i didnt build it to suit everyone elses tastes.

Back on topic, i rubbed back & 2 pak high filled my rocker covers & engine covers on the weekend. Just got to rub them back and paint them now, will post pics when they are painted. Nothing real flash, just silver, but 100x better than the factory did......

The body looks to be in good nic so a nice metallic copper brown maybe with some black markings somewhere. There is a HJ (I think) 4 door GTS Monaro in the copper bronze with black GTS markings getting around our area and looksfantastic in the bright sunlight.

I see the hatch is blue so you wont want that. Purple hmmm need lots of chrome and HP if you go with purple.

Or Yellow. (ducks for cover)

Yeah, when you put it like that. Kingswood and Statesman were really the only half decent looking fronts. HQ and HZ are the best of the lot.

Holy ****, i totally forgot i put a thread in here about this car.

Anyway, here is a bit of an update.

It's now all painted, i went with Blood Orange of a BA Ford in the end. It's the only colour my partner and i could agree on. It has come up really good, i'm really happy with the paint & panel work. I scrapped the WB stato front idea and went with a HZ twin headlight prem front. Also, went with HQ-HZ tail lights instead of WB lights.

The interior has all been retrimmed, i got hold of a VG-VS ute bench seat, which is more like 2 buckets with a small seat in the middle, unlike the original one which is just one whole seat and ultra uncomfortable. I got a GTS dash, it was in ok condition but i filled a few holes from a CB or some crap and painted the fascia, also got new lenses for the gauges too. Bought a new repo GTS steering wheel aswell. I'm in the prosess of making some panels to fill in behind the seat and kick panels.

Wheels will be getting done soon, i am going with GTS rims, widened to 15x8 on the back and 15x6 on the front. They just need repainting.

So anyway, here are some pics.













I have heap of other build pics, so if anyone wants to see anything in particular or wants to know something just ask.

That's awesome that colour. Reminds me of the wb ute i had, same thing with a clubby motor but alas, never got to finish it. Good luck with the rest of your resto!
