[FS - WA] 1976 dual cab ute project
Ok
Reluctantly for sale is my very rusty dual cab ute.
I've got something a bit newer coming and I've promised to get rid of 2 of my 3
To be honest whoever takes this on only needs a welder and a lot of spare time.
I've collected 95%of whats needed to finish it.
Here's a breakdown of what I can remember and there is probably more.
I paid $800 for this when I bought it.
Engine block( not the one in the picture) stripped down, p & b cleaned and honed,
Brand new amc heads, flywheel skimmed, re assembled new pushrods tubes and piston rings, total cost of parts $ 2000
1800 gearbox in excellent working order stripped cleaned with new seals installed. $500
All new panels that are required to practically finish the job, $1500
Rare rear seat and good condition original rear floor Matt. $750
Rear gate with all hardware attached, one set in repairable condition the other set could be repaired with a magic wand. $500
Beam stripped cleaned and adjusters welded on at Munster garage. $500
2 spotless rust free front doors (thanks Aaron ) sprayed in white 2 PAC paint $500
All glass is there, rear door is straight with no rust, roof is spotless with no rust.
Since the original pictures were taken ive put a fair few hours in. As can be seen from the final pictures. The bottom is looking really good and all
rust repairs done.
Only thing that I can remember that will need buying is a deck for the back.
The front seats are also with the bus. And loads of other spares which I will have to dig out if and when someone is interested. I think ive got all
new ball joints and steering parts aswell.
All in all this probably has cost me $7500 + to date.
I'm looking at trying to recoup $4750 Ono at this stage.
