    HJ sandman ute restoration

    I thought I would put some photos up of my ute and the progress made so far. under all the coats of paint, bog and dirt, the body proved to be remarkably rust free.
    The body has been panel beated and sanded back to bare metal. It was then chemically treated with rust inhibiter followed by a coat of etch priming. This highlighted a couple of more dents in the tray which will be dent knocked out.
    Will update when the mandarin red paint goes on!
    Not sure whether to paint tray red or correct vynacoat grey? Head says grey as this is original however I think it looks so much better all painted as per exterior body. Not sure which way to go yet?
