i new it was way out of my league to do what your doing when i owned it.so glad you came along and bought it of me.i remember the extent of all rust issue's in her,your repair work and pic's are very pleasing for me. will you keep it the origonal colour? still love that canopy though dave.

OK not really. but heres a model that bj and vlkswgn made for me to give me a bit of inspiration to get the real one done. this is pretty much what the ute should look like when it is finished. thanks a million guys, i think its working.
