Looking forward to seeing this girl in a few weeks mate :thumbsup:

If it was mine I reckon I would run body coloured rims with a red pinstripe on them , IMHO the red rims are too much
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Also once the seat is in there will be a bit of red more at eyeliner so the wheels wont be the centre focus - It's actually really funny how this ute has come together as red and grey were my two colours of choice as a kid and this one just lends itself to that scheme.

I like the red rims for what it’s worth. Nice contrast to the commercial spec grey and worth at least 0.0000005 horsepower. 8)

Very slow progress last week - all getting toooo stressful to be ready for Mudgee - chromer completely ruined my bonnet bar - looked like he attacked it with an angle grinder so now it has more waves than bondi - luckily found another good one I will send to another guy - hopefully a better result - engine bay looks great but getting too crowded - think I’ll get booster moved under guard to free up some space and make it look neater but not till after Mudgee now - got a new home for it and the other toys - might have to live here soon as missus getting sick of car parts ImageImageImageImageImageImage

In discussion - I should charge him 150$ for ruining it and not pay for it - just careless

Hey Wal I've said it before but your Ute is really nice mate a credit to you and the people who have carried out a lot of the work for you along the way.

Sorry to hear about the bonnet bar, I just think people don't seem to care a smuch now days about services that they are supposed to supply and put there hands in the air and say stiff shit.
