hi there mate
interesting project you got going there.ya have to think ahead with alot of stuff as i suppose aussies alot like here in nz--ya can't just wander down to the wrecking yard or local napa/auto store and pick up what you want for your pickup!
i'll be watching this one so keep up the good work and thanks for posting the pictures.

bye the way- i had one of those commidorie ute things (new 05 spac v6) for a few yrs before seeing the light and getting a 69 stepper-way more fun!
cheers mark

What part of Australia are you in?
I will be visiting for a couple of months with the family to do some 4wd touring in June/July...going to spend a month in Queensland & another month on trains see in the rest of the country.
I might be able to bring you trim/detail small bits from rust free Arizona if that helps

Also when you are passing through in October you are welcome to hit our Sat night show here in Phoenix as it is huge (300+).
Great start of the build by the way

Machining up some 5 stud hubs to suit locally sourced Commodore ( GTO ) Brake Calipers and Rotors to suit the new drop spindles.....hopefully painting body soon. cheers
