Was Tuscany Yellow the original colour Adam?

Be great to see the Ute at the nationals.

Hope my Ute makes it as well. It hasn't been to a Nationals since Canberra in 2000.

I have only seen that colour on a Sedan. It's one of my favorites. Never owned an EK in that colour.

How long have you had the ute?

Ive owned the ute for nearly 3 years, its taken this long to get where it is today, brought as a simply take it hoem and spray it turned into a full strip down.... better for it though at least now i know everything has been done properly.

Steve i haven't seen any utes in this colour either would be interesting to find out numbers but i surpose its impossible

The effort that has gone into this project is unbelievable.

That ute looks absolutely incredible :shock:


I wish I had even half the talent that some of you guys possess. I can't even do an an oil change without screwing something up :oops: :roll:
