Very tidy ute mate, mine used to look very similar to yours when I purchased it.

Good luck with future modifications! I'll keep an eye on this thread.

So this started pissing me off, window runner rubber wasnt sitting right, jumped up the window at some point in its life and stayed there. Caused the window to not line up and didnt like how it was all sitting

This is with window all the way up:

After messing around with things and doing some gluing

Attending to a small rust spot

Everything put back together and sitting better

Excuse the messy car, black aint easy to keep clean lol

Getting drivers window tint redone after Newyears due to a crease which wont go away.

Also while pulling apart the door I replaced rusted clips with newer ones and gave all parts a good clean

Ewww Castrol.... but +1 on the AC Delco filter. Good quality filters.

What style and colour are you looking towards? I wouldn't go bigger than 18", honestly. Ride quality down the potty otherwise.

lol whats wrong with Castrol? Its good ****

I want 17s really, I know there are so many 18s out there but meh not too keen on them. 17s will be good on the street, cheap for tyres, and can actually run some sidewall so the odd pothole that gets it wont do any damage and shouldnt ride like **** with 17s.

Open to ideas and thoughts :)
