My Ute
Here is a pic of my 71 single cab. It looks ugly at the moment but will start lookin better soon. I lowered it using a kruzin wagon front beam and i
turned it two outer splines at the back, its low but i would love it lower....still workin on that
All the primer patches is where ive been buisy knocking out dents which where just filled with huge amounts of body filler by one of its previous
owners. im leaving it without the drop gates because the set that came with it are so rusty..i like the flat back look any way...soon ill be replacing
the tray with checker plate as it is rusted beyond repair. the rest of the car is rust free except for under the windscreen but im fixing that at
the moment. Having no garage the rain has slowed me down but i hope to have it road worthy in about a month. It will look like a bit of a rat
tho...dont think it will be much good for pickin up chicks:P

yeah keep saving and get them once the paint and tray are done, then look around at you options. personally, i'd go 17's in chrome on the
ute, but it is your call. i'm a sucker for big chromies on a nice vw tho...

Lookin' good man, but what i reckon would be sweet is if you ketp the name on the side and made the tray with some french polished wooden boards,
especially with no drop gates. Love the height too...  I take it you
like my sig line Aaron....
