Hello cary and niki,
It is so very nice to make both of your aquantances, and thank you so very much for the nice welcomes!! We certainly have found people in this forum to be very friendly and helpful!!
Cary yes the ute has been a labour of love for Chris. He has taken a lot of time, effort, and various other resources to totally re-build his ute from the ground up. Also I do believe too that people do take better care of the things they have taken the time to work on, work for, or build up and yes Chris does fuzz over every detail and is constantly outside washing it, cleaning it, polishing it, etc.
Niki it is always nice to meet another ute lover, and esp. the older holden utes which we too are very fond of.
Also thank you both for the nice comments you have made regarding Chris' ute, they are very kind!!
Cheers
Chris and Julie
