Oh dude I have have kept the white one also and got that running just pull the bumber out and roll it with the Patina.

 

Love it!!!!!!!!!!  I have the same green also on my 521 also painted rims white

 

weird how a bearing went bad. I usually just change the outer seal on the axle and it takes care of the leak.

I gave the Ute a clean it on the weekend, cleaned up the bed and gave the whole Ute a coat of penetrol. 

I had used anchor wax in the past but penetrol was cheaper and easy to get. 

I still have rust repairs to do on the bed but one step at a time.

That is exactly what I was going to suggest! Pick up a new tailgate and keep that one on a shop/garage wall. 

I was going to just hang it on the wall but it's not possible to find any tail gates in Australia, so I'm going to fix it up. 

At least it matches

Totally understand. We are fortunate in the PNW to have great access to them but it is getting more and more difficult to find 'quality' parts that aren't going to take a good bit of massaging.
