Bethany is a '58 ute and when finished will be my main transport. Originally I had planned to restore her to original specs but decided to build her to have a bit more go after I was offered a wrecked Fiat 125 to use as a donor car. My aim is to end up with an original looking ute with attitude.

Progress has been slow. I'm in the process of retiring but seem to be busier then ever.

Very Happy One gearbox mount. No rainforests or animals were used in the manufacture of this product. I used the original Fiat mount (turned over) bolted to some angle which will bolt between the chassis rails.
