New Member and his car

Bucknaked · 27-01-2008, 05:52 PM

Shortly before Christmas I received a PM from a new member wanting info on Adams old ute and he had some questions on it from the owner. After a few PM's, I put him in touch with that person. As it turns out, the new member was infact the new owner of the ute.

We remember Adams ute as it was.

This is the photo I received

In a bit of a sorry state. Until now I've not said anything except too a couple of forum members. Work is yet to commence, but after a major hurdle was overcome, now the work can begin.

Here are some other pics I took yesterday.

I'm sure the new owner will show himself at some point, but for now here are some of those pics. I know Adams ute was well known, and I thought some people might be keen to see the rebuild, or at least know what had happened since it left Adam.

:( the poor thing!... it was a one off for sure and needs to stay alive!

**Uncle_Ken** · 27-01-2008, 06:02 PM

Well done. Great update. Hope the new owner is happy with "Adams Ute"

**DJM83** · 27-01-2008, 06:22 PM

Adam is the previous owner - username Falkeen. He used to work for AWC and developed the XR50 front bar. He also worked out how to reverse hinge his bonnet. Clever little bloke.

LOL,

It's a shame to see a nice vehicle like this, when they have a big hit like that, they are never the same vehicle again afterward's.

Heres another just for you Marty

The car will get a detail , so she will be all clean.

He is kinda local, already spoken to him about pro Utes.

thats a shame to see, hopefully wont be too hard to fix.....

**Mechan1k** · 29-01-2008, 08:14 AM

Damn ... this ute was immaculate the last time I saw it.
Hopefully it can be returned to it's former glory.

Does it still have the nice interior it used to have Buckie????

I don't know but it might be because of this

I'd say it just temporary they couldn't have actually banned him.
