Thanks Trev, got the bullets....... just have to make the retainers for them

Looks great Gaz ...has Sue had a drive yet??

Scotty.

Awesome build up story, Thanks Gaz for keeping us updated. Gotta ask where the hell do you find the time to do it all
Hope it all goes well to the finish.
Did you always plan to finish it in all white or did you consider painting the roof or stainless trim insert a differant colour to break up the solid colour?

looks awesome!
and the fb grille certainly does look like its from factory.

but yeh sorry to say this - the wheels look like their off some bunky old hilux.

I think maybe 2 1/2" out of the front and 3" out of the back

I like this man

i'm with J on the wheels though for some reason they just seem to be lacking something, might come up a little with centre caps and lowering

I agree, but it is all about budget this time................

maybe just a differant colour, if that's what you want too

What I want to do is oneday change the wheels to either Convo Pros or Dragway Indy pros and lower it a few inches.....then it should look the part. I have thought about different coloured wheels, I think red maybe too much.... maybe Scotty can do some paintshop magic and do some colours on this lowered version

just the lowering did something, and the pic with the convos..........well that's giving me a special feeling

I really like the colour idea Scotty, Sue loves the colour on the wheels but I can't convince her to do the flash ...... I will look for some colour similar tomorrow and see what happens . I fitted the lowering blocks and lowered front springs ( ) today, is sitting almost exactly as your pic! will take a pic on the lawn tomorrow, hopefully with rego plates!

I'm glad I could help out with colour ideas Garry & Sue..
It sounds like trying to convince Sue into painting the 'flash' gunmetal is as hard as getting you to paint the Black Beast's inner flash Red!!

Scotty.

Passed rego today with flying colours, painted the wheels "Chevy Orange" (because I had some in the shed!! )

Here are some pics and also some with it's sinister Brother






Interior is pretty stock and has a "Warmer Ride" heater for the Vic weather!!








Pics with big brother!

nice Gaz... so you went with Red wheels hey... always a winner im my book!

Mate, that is one very nice budget build you have done there indeed, Sue must be over the moon!

Cheers
