This beautiful cream XP Ute was sent to us for a V8 engine conversion that turned into one large resto/mod job!

Upon beginning the conversion we came across more structural rust that anticipated that would never pass engineering, so the decision was made to strip her back and begin the process of repairing the rust damage.

During the process we had to keep in mind a tight budget and a final product worthy of a Sunday drive but not a show winning vehicle. This is a fine line when trying to resto mod a car and budget has to be kept as tight as possible.

The owner now has this beast in possession and is thoroughly enjoying the driveability of the EFi V8…..
