wow!! GORGEOUS!!!!!!! great to see a real girls car!!!!!! i LOVE that color!!!

[Jecs]

u've spent alot of time on this and its nothing short of perfect. from the old skool look of no head rest to removing the lugs for the tarp.

only thing i dont like are the chrome rims.

[Kikki]

u've spent alot of time on this and its nothing short of perfect.

Same here...... LOVE it!

[Troy711]

very nice although (imo) the only thing that lets it down is the VZ kit.

[Ellie]

wow thanks everyone, alot of thought has gone into it, and the wheels are a big point on everyones list, not sure whether to like them or not, but i like them, they sorta grow on you hahaha

Same with the VZ kit, its been modified a little but enough to make you still noticed what it is

Thanks for the comments and keep them coming

This looks awesome. Simply awesome.

The interior. Everything.

Looks great

Oh btw how do you keep the interior clean ahaha :P

[rch-13z]

extremely nice, one of a kind... would crack with an RB26.

I was actually wondering about the interior as well, how do you keep it clean?

Keep up the great work!

[Ellie]

its actually really easy to keep clean, considering i drive it to work everyday....

The only thing i worry about is the suede on the steering wheel, but Dallas (the trimmer) said he can replace it anytime easy as

[HoZy]

Now that is sexy as ****..... You've done well...

I love utes, an nothing says chicks car than a pink ute.. *** yeh lol

Cheers

i reckon the side skirts, rear bar and front bar need the black highlights like the VZs do to break up the pink a little

[Ellie]

Thanks Mat, i do love my pink!!

Hi Troy, the issue with breaking the pink up is i didnt want to hahaha, there are ghost glitter tribal flames along the side and the solid colour really works. It was initially discussed that we were going to two tone the car with a bright silver, but it wouldnt scream PINK so we went with the solid look, along with modifying the whole kit to fit better with the ute making it smoother and more of a custom and closer fit

[Troy711]

fair enough, just putting in mu opinion thats all

you also need some different tail lights for the back. with everything else all fancy the stokc ones look out of place

[Troy711]

and maybe some altezza style head lights

[Ellie]

All opinons are gladly welcomes, other peoples views are so great, its all constructive cristisim if you ask me

Yeah thats another thing we are tossing up with, there is a company here that can make some rear lights that fit a bit better and come in 3 different shades of pink, one dark, one lighter and one lighter again, but when i do the lights we will be putting in the clearer hear lights as well, so many decisions and minor touches to make

Then there is the engine.....

[Troy711]

whats the plans for the engine?

[eurekamad94]

HUBBA BUBBA !!!!!!! i love that colour theres a vl round my area with that colour but it was sold and now theres dents all over it bumpers missing ect and that interior is mint a set of altezza headlights and new wheels would top it all off

[Ellie]

The engine: We are leaning towards an rb26 with the rb30 bottom end, apparantly it will be a decent combination...

Thanks eurekamad94, i have heard the Hubba Bubba line before hahaha the girls reckon i should go for a job at Wrigleys

[Troy711]

do you wear alot of pink clothes..?

[Ellie]
