Wellside Restoration
These pages give a brief rundown of work on the wellside ute. This page is the stripdown. Click on the last photo to go to the next page.
The ute basically as it was when I got it in Aug 2001. The wellside was blasted and the rust cut.
You wouldn't believe there was no film in the camera I was loaned on the day I got the ute. But this is a mock up with the panels sitting in place. Its as it was (no lights or back fitted etc)
All the panels taken of and sitting in the shed.
Basically just the rolling chassis and cab. It looks like a beach buggy!
From the back. The floor was coated in black tacky stuff and the carpet underlay was pushed into that. It took abit of scraping before blasting.
No wheels. The cab is unbolted ready to lift off. The front suspension has been taken off before the cab can be as the shocks are attached to the firewall.

The chassis which, at this stage can be shifted like a wheelbarrow. I pulled the diff etc out of the back end after this.
The 1100 motor ready to be cleaned up. This page covers the stripping down. Click on the photo to go to the next page.
