Back in 2009 I bought a shabby MightyBoy which became a little project build so the missus would have a ute to drive. He was nicknamed 'Special Ed' (see Crank Yankers for reference). Ed was stripped down, resprayed and fitted with a rebuilt F8B and a few other little mods here and there. Sadly though, Ed wasn't as popular with the wife as I thought he would be, and a lack of space in the garage meant he was put in the corner of the yard. Several years and a baby later, there's still no love for Special Ed from my other half, so it is time to pull him out of the yard and help him find a new home.
Before that happens, I've decided he needs a complete overhaul - paint, wheels, brakes, bushes, suspension, stereo - the motor and box have done no work since being installed, so they'll just get a checkup. By the time I'm finished Ed won't be a cheap ute, but hopefully there's a buyer who appreciates the effort. If not I've got a bigger garage now, so he can stay safely under cover.
Here's the start of the process, with more updates to come.
