This, is my new ute... this page is where I'll be putting all the latest pictures and information.
Its a VS series 3 manual V6 ute which was exactly what I was looking for so I'm really happy to finally get a decent one. It only had 68,000kms on the clock which i thought was pretty good considering its age.
What was done to it? Well it had been a country ute so it had a bull bar (yuk) and only had 15" alloys (yuk) but other than that it is pretty straight and just good.

This is the most up to date picture I have at the moment. Take a look and then through the rest of the pages you'll see the transformation from what i got it like on page one, to all the latest pics on the last page.

Plans include getting it lowered hopefully by the end of June '04. I want to go down about 80mm and I'm going to be using adjustable coilovers up front with lower springs and short shockies in the rear.
A hard tonneau cover would be the next cool thing I'd like to have and then a set of extractors and a proper exhaust system.
Then? well thats pretty far away that many then's so you'll have to wait and see. And let me some up some more spondoolie.

Anyway thats it for now, check back later and I may have done a little more to it.
thanks
