Hi again all, it’s been some months again and more work has been done on the Ute. The engine bay is nearly complete apart from the air conditioner compressor and a bit more wiring connections.

Today the the car went off to the trim shop, Jim’s Trim in adelaide to get roof lining put back in. I have known Jim for 30 years and he was an apprentice motor trimmer at Holden Elizabeth and started in 1974. That means that I am getting the seats retrimmed and roof lining exactly as it was done from the factory in 1975. The slate black seats have come up looking great and he still had a roll of the original black ribbed roof lining material.
