I am still proceeding with my Ute slowly its on 4 wheels with suspension all done and all brakes done, small leak in one line to booster so its being replaced with one re done from brake place tomorrow.
I am receiving a lot of help from forum members with parts and knowledge THANKS.
Also finding pretty easy to replace screws and some bolts with metric stainless steel for instance the door latch which have captive screws in the B post I re-tapped these M5 and used c/s M5 stainless screws.

After painting the cab and front mudguards I am trial fitting a lot of stuff door locks headlights and others. Constantly I find they are BSF and hard to get so I decided to change all I could to metric which are very common and available cheaply from places like Bunning's , Mitre 10 and other hardware shops and of course stainless or cad plated .
So now constant companions in the workshop are a couple of taps M6 and M5, locks and latches look better with stainless screws from the over painted and stripped head originals.

Yes understand that not replacing hinge bolts just chrome painted over screws like eye bracket and pin, door latch etc.
All high tensile bolts have been replaced where needed by like bolts.
Today I fitted new M5 stainless screws to hold the headlight buckets and bought stainless bolts and nuts for the lower front panel under the grill.
