    got a hardtop for it off eBay. Purchased a basically brand new one on eBay from just shy of $800 painted and everything.

    also started building a new sub enclosure in the tub now that i can lock it .

    ive nearly payed off the ute so i can start to save up and fix the rear end (rear ender before purchase) and paint the front bar, mirrors, door handles and other little spots

    photos to come

    yea its the other holden vs white colour but it doesnt really bother me for the condition its in.

    its marine carpet underneath so once i clean the rear up and get the box in i might marine carpet the whole rear.

    only gripe is that its column shift.

    ive got a set of lukey extractors set up at the moment, just need another weeks pay so im not in the red. then will go lukey from Cat back and a hi flow cat.

    which someone could inform me on the most highest flowing legal cat? ive heard its 250 but wouldnt mind the actual facts.

    and your dead right mate, they weight nothing in the rear. almost scary in the dirt. its lucky they have plenty of power because the handbrakes are ratshit

    yea still tossing up between the 2, would lean more 2 chopping them which is simple and looks smooth as. paying off the ute now so ill do little shit like exhaust and whatnot, then once its payed off, saving up to take it to the panel beaters and smooth out and paint everything in one hit so the ute may be 2 slightly different colours instead of many different shades of white for many different paint jobs , if you know what i mean
