Hi all this is my main restoration project right now his name is "Tute" aka The ute Laughing he is a 1938 australian ford prefect coupe ute and is the only one known to be left in the world this car was found on a farm and saved for $150 Au we then found out thanks to bill ballard how rare he is Razz most of the car is ford 7W parts in an australian straight side body this car still has its 7w dash etc.

Photos the day we picked him up Razz

The day i started work on him for a local car and truck show




And at the show



Cool

Kind regards,

Hehehehehe yes there are bullet holes all around the car some go above the drivers head too Laughing most of the holes are on the left side and go out the right side of the ute Shocked so the gun they used had some power Sad but its an easy fix my main problem is rust there is no chassis on the right side of the ute but we have a spare 7W chassis to fix that problem Razz
