Pete Moore's Ford Popular 'Ute'
(pickup)These photos, taken early in 2007, show Pete Moore's new Ford Pop
Ute.
To give it it's full description, the 'Ute' is an Australian Ford
Popular Coupe Utility.
The Ute features an owner-built chassis, fitted
with Wisbech suspension, and a Chassisworks Diamond case rear axle, all rolling
on Radir Tri Ribb III wheels. |
|
 |
Motive power
is a 383ci Chevy V8, rated at 348 BHP, coupled to a Tremec TKO 5-speed gearbox
via a Weber HD clutch. |

After mounting
the body, the rolling chassis was sent to the upholsterers.
The Ute was
completed in May 2007, and made its show debut at the NSRA Billing Fun
Run. |

The Morris 1000
van was given a four-inch roof chop. Nick then fitted very early lowlight front
end panels, and grafted on a split screen cab. |
| In progress:
with the cab roof off, the rear is supported and marked ready for
chopping. |

Cab chopped, just
the doors to do.. ..rear side panels show reshaping required. |
| August 2008: The
car is ready for MOT, after an 'issue' with the lack of exterior door handles.
Nick hopes to make it to the Hot Rod Drags in September. |
