New Aussie square body owner.
Hi all, my name is Damyian....but Damo if your not swearing at me .
I'm a self taught monkey wrencher and have a number of toys (bikes n cars)
Looking forward to getting to know you all and talking shop.
I have a 1986 c20 imported and converted to RHD, long story short.....it was purchased as a going "turn key" vehicle but apon arriving to pick it up it was instead a project truck with a blown motor and every nut and bolt on the truck only hand tight .....
Anyways after it sitting for two years Ive finally stripped it this weekend and now the rebuild begins.

Welcome to the forum from New Mexico, U.S.
Looks like quite the project you got there. I'd be very intersted how you did the RHD swap, would love to see what that looked like.
Think you'll like it here, lots of useful info and help here.

Hi AyWoSch Motors,
Thanks for the welcome mate.
The conversion was done back in 2002 before I purchased it, it's not really up to my standard but from my understanding there wasn't much government standards in place back then so it'll be fixed after the cab is sandblasted.

Is it mandatory to convert it to RHD to drive it there?

Welcome from Austria. I too started my C20 project a few weeks ago which was supposed to be just some minor repairs and interior work.

No its not for older cars.

And welcome Damo, good to see more Aussies here

Your square bodies in Straya - are you using them mainly as a ute or are there any speed aspirations in your reasoning? Also, is the rhd mod a common one for squares or is it strictly a specialty upgrade?
