Going well. Pillar done. Windscreen frame straightened. Inner guard and braces welded in. Top rad support welded in. Good doors and guards test fitted. Gaps are near perfect. Pretty happy

looks like a great project . body work is definately not my forte , and good on you for giving a vehicle that would be parted out or sent to the metal recyclers a new lease on life . PS; what the deal with the commodore on 46 inch tyres

It was the right price. Only 312 on the clock and rust free. Who ever did the chop did an excellent job. Plus previous rego with the chop so well worth it to me.
The commo is all toy. Vs ute on a patrol chassis. 44s. Ls1. Th350 with twin transfers. Ways to go before I see mud but it is all driving with both transfers working
