Thread: Stirlsilver's Disco Ute Project

"Crash" don't be put off.
What once were utes are now being called trucks.

Gentlemen,
Can't we all just get along, and agree to call it 'silly putty'?


Sterling, looking good, man!

Silly putty it is then.

Hello again everyone. Sorry for the long silence there. I managed to transfer all the images from this thread onto my own personal server and then got a little script written to update all the links for the 1,500+ photos in this thread. So, about 95% of the photos in this thread are working now finally. There are a few minor ones here and there that are disconnected. There were a few entries I had to do by hand. Looks like AULRO caches photos now which made the re-linking a bit more tricky.

Anyway, i'm also in the process of moving the workshop, I'm downsizing to basically 2 x single bay garages under the apartment I live in. Don't think i'm going to be able to fit all my stuff in but I'll work something out! I'm still working on the bonnet, but I haven't taken any photos. It's just been bogging (silly puttying)/sanding & repeat because in some areas the profile was a loooong way out.

More updates soon

Great to have the pix back, Stirling. Massive effort.

There might be a few on here that could use a script like yours to update their threads too.

I dont really need it but I'm very curious as to how it works

Looking forward to the finished bonnet too!

Quite possibly a bit late now, but for quicker easier sanding and a lighter finished product I could look at Fairing Compound.
It's a 2 part epoxy style stuff like bog, but sands easier and doesn't weigh as much.
Used in the production and repair of boats!
Otherwise, keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone

Just a quick update. The car has now been relocated to it's much more cosy home!! It was NOT fun towing a combined load of 2.8 ton wide load down Parramatta Road today!! But I got there!
