Building a 1989 Ford Courier (b2200) single cab ute

I love that front end

I really like the turbine wheels!

Thanks they are Chevoit turbo hurricane wheels

Picked up a facelift dashboard for $50 and put my rusty sunshade on

Before


After

looking good..whats your plans for it?

Currently I'm just getting it up to standard so that it can be registered where I am in Queensland, the laws are not minitruck favourable here, then I will be turning the 2.2 petrol engine into a garden ornament and re-powering it with a Rotary engine 12a or 13b, non turbo and most likely non efi.
I've also been looking into running a 4 link in the rear and adjustable suspension, but I plan on doing that much further down the track as its one of four of my cars.

Update
After blowing the dust off the ute and finally getting time in the garage the rotary is now sitting in the engine bay and not on the stand.
I have mated the s2 rx7 Bellhousing to the standard courier gearbox with a few cuts and alot of cursing, now i just need to get my argon refilled and decide how I'm going to mount it in there.

Cool!

Not prying but Rotary engines are expensive here, especially to rebuild. Are they "cheap" or plentiful there?
