That is fantastic!

We need more of these type rebuilds. Reminds me of "Chris12HT" Ute rebuild in some ways.

I have a soft spot for the HJ61.... and this one is just amazing.

Goldchaser:

Is the paint iso-free 2 Pack, or std 2 Pack? Looks sensational.

Another hobby of mine is hiFi speaker building and am currently painting with iso-free 2 pack for the first time. Nice paint!

I ask because I was trying to avoid using isocyanate based paint and I see that the breathing apparantus was not what I expected for isocyanate paint (no expert in paint or painting, just wondering).

It sat in a camp sauspen for 3 days under my seat on the way back,we didnt lose sight of the car for 3 days if we parked for food etc.
I dropped my mate at home then i headed for my place which is out of town but coudn't do any shopping till the next day,i wasn't walking into a shop and losing sight of the truck!

 

[FJota]

Nice build. Your truck turned out great.

 

[Chinasgotrice]

Wow super nice, if my 60 saw what I was doing right now she'd beat me.

Yeah done about 2000klms. Sooo much quieter!

Quieter just because of the rebuild? I'm sure she burns less oil too.
