Thread: Grommet becomes a Utility, Gone the days of a hard top

Keep it coming Clarkie, this would have to be one of the more exciting threads that I have read for quite some time.....A 4x4 Ute is Born....Oz Style........Good On Ya ..........

I'm getting some deep inspiration here to start something of my own.....

So is it a series back?

Looking good. You are giving me inspiration to convert one of my Series LRs from traytop to ute back.

Effin outstanding!

Shanks.....

paint this weekend if all goes well...... might paint the roof also, its a bit ratty

Now that he's somewhat 'abbreviated'...... do we call him a her?

GROMMETTE?



Great work Clarkie

This weekend i got excited and pulled Grommet apart again. He is not a ute anymore......

So i pulled the Windscreen out and started the rust repairs on the Bulkhead and i polished the roof..... wow.....

I cut the rust out of the bulkhead, welded a new plate in, Ground it back, added some filler for good measure, then primed the panel and a quick sand and top coat......

Now.... one problem... the Defender did not have a paint code so i went to the paint mob and he Guessed the colour......lol

Its close.... NOT.... but will do, you wont pic the colour diffence when its covered in mud.....








The pix make the while look really out, but its so close a polish might make the difference.

what paint code you after ???

if its chawton maybe i could help
