Thread: Rebuilding a 109 1958 Ute

Hi there all

They have already left and on route to Blinman.

Questions

Can't see any front indicators

We cheat and put in double lights bults in the front clearance lights, one for parker and the other for blinkers.

looking forward to more shots from BLINMAN... I think Ellards taking his 'roughie" and leaving the fire trucks at home....

by the way Digger your in trouble its the wifes farm car your calling a roughie..........

We had a trial run yesterday...in the back yard (take note: with the weather being warm we are keeping up the fluids).





As for diggers statment.......

I'm too busy trying to find a car carrier to go to the Flinders Ranges with

Once bitten twice shy - but please SMILE for the cameras......

Wayne

im not scared of the cameras, its the angry dog and the shotgun that gives me a bit of a nervous twitter!!!! coupled with the knowledge thats there lots of spots both on and off your property to dispose of.....emmm..stuff??



Sorry Mel, its not a roughie.... its....ummm......PRE LOVED!


(this hole seems deeper somehow!)
cheers!

G'day All, No I'm not sobbing nor crying, he deserves all the credit he gets, and I went to the same school (hard knocks), you have never made anything until you have stuffed it up big time and have to do it all over again.
The forming die for the door, great idea, but I had to make 7, I think from memory to make the boiler (firebox/throatplates/smokebox end plate etc etc) in my 5" gauge live steam locomotive, and I have made forming dies for other applications (read Land Rover mainly)..
I'm currently working on another S2A 88" GS, only had it less than 3/12 and it has had some major work done on it already, a complete nut n bolt job anyway I don't want to hijack this thread, great work mate, wish I was out at Blinman to see it in person, did see one the same model etc and colour back in 02 in downtown Blinman anyway cheers Dennis
ps will look forward to seeing pix from W.E. next week

Very very nice. You must be proud of it.

Hi All
Ran the 109 in
Adelaide to Blinman
towing a 650 kgs camper Trailer
1100 kms round trip
am glad I spent a little time making the seats and backs to fit the back.
averaged a little over 7.3 kms per litre.
65/70 k.p.h is one way of seeing the country side
won a couple trophies with the old girl
in all a good weekend
cheers
Ian
