Awwwwh yeah buddy, got a big HELL YEAH to that!
My partner's grandfather recently passed, and he had an old FJ trayback that was in desperate need of a Resto. It'd been a forestry vehicle and general firewood carter most it's life, so imagine the state of it. Still, as rusty as the tray was, there wasn't any in the chassis, which was gold to me.

I wanted to rebuild it with one of my Holden 304 V8's and T5 'box but the sons got in and sold it before I got the chance to revive her. They ran up a huge bill at the mechanics for new radiator (not cheap those old copper ones) and head gasket repo, just to go and scrap it...

Heartbreaking story, but I had my heart set on his rides (also had a million mile '83 VH Commodore also in need of a full-body resto), while they weren't promised to me, I'd mentioned my ideas to him plenty of times, and he'd just grin and say "Hi Ho, that would be good" and wander off in his imagination...

I'll have one of these as a project one day, just a shame I couldn't resurrect these old girls that had done more than a lifetime's worth of servitude, with a fresh drivelines and custom interiors...

It's okay to dream tho right?
