Mr Polson 10,214 Posted August 9, 2016 good to see some more progress i'm interested in seeing if that stone guard under the tarp lasts better than it would if just clear coated heavier.. I would expect it to. Despite being water based the septone stuff dries good and hard. I'm using straight colour so no clear and by the time I'm finished that top section will have a fair few coats on. I done this on my ute when it went blue, sorry to say it hasn't actually helped much. Can't remember what brand I used, and to be honest I don't think there was heaps of clear used.

ando76 4,354 Posted August 9, 2016 Ok. The old dude a few sheds up got a tonneau off eBay and it's damn good on the inside. Got a really soft lining. Been on his ute for coup,S of years now with not issue. Think I'll order one the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashXFute 498 Posted August 9, 2016 The new one I got for my ute was off ebay for $119 I think. All around the edge it has a soft felt underlining. It even came with viynl sleeves for the bars Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ando76 4,354 Posted August 10, 2016 The old boy got a couple of two piece items thrown in with his tonneau. And no I didn't get the brand today. Damn $10,000 to win burnout competition on this weekend and everyone has left their shit to the last minute. Arghhh. 2 Valvebouncer and gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ando76 4,354 Posted December 3, 2018 With the business really kicking goals, it has taken way longer than I first anticipated but it finally lives. For those that don't follow the business Facebook page the reason for the sudden motivation to finish it is my wife and I have entered Targa Great Barrier Reef and we are doing it in the ute!!!! Being complete novices we are entered in the TSD class (time speed distance). This allows a max speed of 130km/h but doesn't require a cage or half cage. Penny is keen to learn rally Nav so it will be a good starting point where we can still give the old girl some currie. Rules dont allow boost so the low comp head went and I stuck the original head off old faithful on to bump the comp up a bit. She now has 10.9:1 and seems to enjoy it. The original plan of this build was to do upgrades along the way and post results and that hasn't changed. I've got a series of intake manifolds and carbs to try and I'll post the result up on here as well as on the business page. Anyway as you can see from the vid vid I still have to finish painting the old girl but at least all the rust is cut and she is reasonably straight. I plan to drive the wheels off this thing next year. Can't wait. 4 Mixalis, deankxf, Thom and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
