Well, here we go. I have had this Tonner for a bit over 5 years, Picked it up when the Missus was still in hospital after our second child, Ella. Paid the princely sum of $0 for it, from a mate. Also bought a wb ute for parts for $1000. It had been sitting in his paddock, no diff, alloy tray loaded with crap, smashed in hx prem front. Feral dark blue colour. But it had ZERO RUST. One of the benefits of living somewhere inland where it virtually never rains. Somewhere along the line all my early photos got deleted/lost by the missus(not happy). I have carted this to WA and back in the last 5 years, i'm not getting rid of this one, ive made that mistake before and regretted it ever since, more than once.
First build was majorly rushed and have never been happy about it. Was in paint within 6 weeks, with me doing all of the repairs and my brother spraying it(painter). I have never been happy with it, mainly due to my prep work. Maybe im just hard to please.
Here is a pic from early on, with my boy helping :) he loves this ute.

Basically this is how it stood up until Australia Day, what better way to spend Australia Day :)
