    A good cut and polish will bring some life back to the paint. And youll know if the bumpstops havent been cut because it will be resting on the diff or close to it

    Clear tail lights suit white utes, but not so much with other colours.

    Good question. I don't actually know about that. Do you want to convert it to a 2 seater? I wanted to do that to mine when i first got it, but the 3 seats actually grew on me.

    It was jst a thought really..i see the 3 seater as a bit better coz id need to hav the console put in nd the handbrake is already on drivers side so i was thinking my other option wuld b to get the seats retrimmed..thought id ask the question tho
