"An update on my ute: I managed to get up to Brisbane over the Queen's Birthday weekend in Victoria. I visited the mechanic who curently has my ute. This was my first time seeing the car since I initially inspected it in Hervey Bay.   The good: It's..."

"Funny you say that... Putting the shell onto something ride was actually my plan Z (if everything else didn't work out). But I was thinking something like a Sierra... I love the idea of a 4WD dat, and the wheel base is pretty much spot on. I had a look at..."

"Thanks for the kind words d but don't feel too sorry for me yet! The ute is in Brisbane already so that makes it easier.    The good news for me this time is I have a bit more cash than last time I did this. I can roll with the punches if things don't..."

"I don't think the panel beater was trying to give me the run around. His hourly rate is $100 so a day on the ute would be close to a thousand bucks anyway. So I will be doing most of the work myself as you suggested d.   As it happened, he he said he was..."

"Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. The reason I was thinking about it is that I don't remember ever seeing a factory heater unit come up on gumtree or ebay so I just assumed they were rockinghorse poo. But apprently they're all being stockpiled by..."

"Thanks for the input guys. I hadn't considered an electric setup. I guess a bigger alternator would be required but that was probably on the cards for me anyway.   Wombat, I have often wondered about older cars where heaters were optional... my..."

"Update: the ute has been blasted and primed. According to the panel beater, the panels "look like someone has shot them with a peashooter". Not quite what I was hoping for but at least it's not catastrophic. He's also quoted me $10-20K to finish..."

"Thanks d. Unfortunately working on it myself isn't really an option for me now. I did really enjoy working on my previous datto.    A pastel colour is definitely on the table - I was originally thinking a blue but maybe even seafoam or pink.   Basically..."

"So without wanting to get too far ahead of myself, what are the options for a heater if you don't have the original? If I should was going to adapt something from another car, what would give me both heater and aircon?   James"

"Thanks Reuby, it wasn't the great start I was hoping for but oh well here we go.   I have read your build thread and dix1000's with much interest.   It's going to be tricky for me because the ute is in Brisbane and I'm in Melbourne and it's hard for me to..."
