What be the cost to get back rolling ? I just started doing a eh ute today and mite need some bits

[@timprestwich]

What a great channel! Is it possible to get a diagram of the bracket supporting the steering column and pedal box. I also have EPA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@ProShop1]

Thanks Tim. I made it as a one-off so I didn't make any diagrams which is a bit of a bummer as I have had a lot of interest in it.

[@stenchcivic1515]

Wow!

[@paulornothingexperience]

Love this build!

[@ProShop1]

Thanks Paul. I love most of the builds here and find it hard to let them go.

[@paulornothingexperience]

@@ProShop1 I find it hard to keep my project moving at least they flow along keeping you busy.

[@keithmcphee6948]

Amazing craftsmanship!

[@ProShop1]

Thanks Keith. This one definitely had some new challenges to deal with.

[@woodspirit7701]

OK curious once actual rust holes etc. fixed. You going matt clear coat? Will have to wait for future instalments I spose.

[@ProShop1]

Yeah it’s been painted in matt clear. New video is coming soon. Just waiting for the new wheels to arrive.

[@Skull-Beneath-The-Skin]

Good to see your keeping that Holden looking like it would have a few months after it rolled off the production line..

[@annettewhite5762]

This is fantastic to watch Pete! Looking forward to Part 2!! Love your work!

[@ProShop1]

Thanks mum. Part 2 is on its way.

[@billmago7991]

EJ?...?rust never sleeps specially where I live

[@ProShop1]

I get that a lot but it’s definitely an EH.

[@leecowley8381]

Great work mate ,that’s one sweet eh ute.

[@ProShop1]

Cheers mate.

[@anikaday496]

Looking forward to part 2!

[@marcushaynes843]

How the hell did that Ute get so rusted and corroded? I know it doesn't snow in Australia, and no road salt is ever used down there.

[@ProShop1]

It was probably just left outside all of its life and I'm pretty sure it was in a dam at some point.

[@johnkirkilis34]

I like how your keeping the patina on this build. EH has to show its age somewhere. It's unique in its own way, showing its own character. Looks bad ass rising up from the dead. Look forward to part 2. Luv the EHS 👍😃

[@ProShop1]

Thanks John. I’m so pleased how this car has turned out. It’s just come back from the painters now with a satin clear coat on it and it looks amazing. Really locks in that patina. You’ll see that in the final fit-up video soon.

[@bigal878]

Great job, but I have a question. So the new fabricated chassis is welded to the body? Any thoughts of bolting it to the body instead?

[@ProShop1]

It's a lot easier for engineering if it is welded in just like the original monocoque design.

[@geoffdunstan8567]

It great to see another aussie channel, looking forward to the next vid Pete. How about a quick walk around vid of where you're up to. regards, Geoff from Merimbula

[@ProShop1]

Thanks Geoff. It's at the trimmers at the moment but will do a video when it gets back.

[@goodo5691]

not into all this "patina"-"bettina" thing....i reckon would look great with an original paint job...too many people following "fast and loud" etc

[@shanemorrison-g4d]

good to watch but why on earth is the darn music so bloody loud

[@ProShop1]

Sorry Shane it was one of our first videos and we were still figuring out the editing process. Thanks for the feedback.

[@BigWillRacing]

Boss

[@stanleyj.mitchell4851]

You sure this is EH? Think it might be EJ.

[@ProShop1]

Yeah a lot of people get confused because of the taillights. They are the same on utes and wagons on both models. If you notice EJ’s have a different grill to this one.

[@ausielad1]

Its neither, completely modified.

[@bigears4426]

Man your music is over the top compared to your voice

[@ProShop1]

Thanks for your feedback mate. Always trying to improve.

[@keithwhittaker5238]

It would be a crime to paint over this patina !

[@ProShop1]

I know. We did put a satin clear over it to protect it though.

[@goodo5691]

i disagree totally

[@Bertholemu]

its fuct anyway wwould you paint it 🤔🫤
