Rory's ute

Damien was really sad when Craig's HQ hugged a tree. He has always wanted to do up a car of that era since I have know him. Having sons has has given him that excuse. Rory is only 5 years away from getting his learners and we had always thought he could just use the commodore. Recently we started thinking that if he did up a car he might treat it with more respect when driving (remember this is our hope). It would also provide Damien and Rory some quality time together. We are aware what you do for one child you have to do for the others so the plan is that each child will spend time with Damien fixing a car for them to drive.

Recently we bought the car for Rory. Damien got a HZ V8 Ute for $900. Now comes the expensive part of looking and buying parts for it. Damien is currently looking for a gearbox for it. It does run but there is a possibility something is wrong with the gearbox. Damien can't wait to get it on the road for a drive. First passenger will be Rory.

Here are some photos of the Ute.
