Well here she is, my pride and joy. I have just turned 17 and this is my first ute, which will hopefully be one of many to come. She is a beautifully cared after VS Ute and is probably the main reason it took me so long to find one, along with the fact that it had to be a 5 Speed Manual and a 2 Seater :yeah: But the wait was definitely worth it.

Please do leave comments and feedback along with tips of what i should do first. But one hint i am only 17 so $$$ are very hard to come by and the cheaper the mod is the quicker it'll get done :thumbsup:

Nice ute, I did this to my VS ute, maybe if you can afford do these things over time.

First get Cold air intake, Chip/Mencal off Blackstar off Ebay, made heaps of difference. That will initally keep you very happy.

Then Super Lows to dump it a bit.

Then save up and get 3.9 Diff gears about $250 plus $300 to fit.

Maybe extractors if in price range or at least sports exaust

Then if you like stuff like Altezza taillights/headlights thats good mod too.

nice looking ute you have there,
if it was mine i would go the frosted tail lights, not a fan of these chrome and balck ones.
i also have a set of lows (same as in my pic) sitting here looking for $150 + extra if you wont them fitted that i can do.
and try finding a ss lip for the front and stato/ss ute sides skirts to match cleans it up a bit.
OTR cold air intake, holden sell them for $60 (was when i got mine) and K&N pannel filter
good luck with it,
cheers matt
