    hi all making a shed, heres abit about me, some may allready know but he it is anyway, p plater, doing up/rebuilding a hq ute bare metal respray,white needle gts dash(changed from hq) hz stato front, gts guards, body and chassie all rebuilt, with commy v6, 5 spd and converted vn diff, cause i cant drive a v8, have done most of the work myself with some help from my dad, the chassies done waiting for the body which is in at the pannel beaters, i will also be doing as much there as possible, ive also got a build thread on aussiev8,
    http://www.aussiev8.com.au/ases/4.0....n-rebuild.html
    with more details and pics from before hand, ill post a few pics for a general idea tho

    this is what i started with dash was converted to hz allready but a bad job, which i have had to fix, came with gts dash, 5mm hq gts steering wheel, twin headlight front, but non genuine guards, and tailgate, which will never touch a ute of mine again












    chassie

    been polishing my stainless trims this arvo after seeing 83 wb ute doing his, weve got the same polishing kit need to buy some metal polish to finish them properly, and putting the fuel tank in the chassie which was just a pain, i havent go the little brackets in that come out factory because i couldnt do the bolts up tight enough to stop them rattling, so there not there lol
    they look better in the flesh,



    shes a bit dusty lol

    heres the things that are meant to go against the tank, they had rubbery stuff on there before but it was stuffed, o well just use lock nuts

    got a hq gts dash, complete minus clock, but has a/c switch, and had a cd player at one stage so the fascia is cut, not the surround tho,i only paid $50 for it complete with looks to be a original wireing loom, also a hz gts fascia, its broken in a few spots, but for $10, it looks good in the shed, and a manual gearstick boot from a hz aswell, corner is broken but its better than nothing, oh and a hq gts grill badge, bloke gave it to me, allright condition, just for the shed wall



    also got a crack that runs from the steering column to the brake warning light

    i reckon i did allright so im happy

    got some more parts of my parts bloke, caprice grill, 4spd console insert, and a gts horn button, quiet happy, grills got some damage to the stainless and i dont think its fixable so ill have to track down a new strip of stainless




    got my new rechromed headlight surrounds today, i think there rechomed rares, but still good 110 delivered, posted a thread because i forgot about the shed



    got some good stuff from rares, missed 1 of the baily channel things in the pic cause it fell out of the bag in didnt see it in the boot until later

    finished polishing my stainless today, windscreen, stato door frames, sills, grill surround, b pillar and wipers quiet happy how they came up need to buy some polish to finish ready to go on when the utes finished, also just bought some stuff of ebay in parkes, whole bunch of stuff, guards, seats, twin and single headlight fronts, and mainly a hj caprice grill(i think, hopefully) for $202.50, old mate said to bring a car trailer, hopefully the twin headlight front and caprice grill are good and theres more than my money there, will be selling as much of the rest as possible have hardly and room left lol
    they look a bit cloudy because of the compound i used which i then spread everywhere and not having any polish
