Haha, cheers man :) Voodoo utes are definately the best, i was looking at a white one for $18K and saw this for $12ish (They put the wrong sticker on the window and so "had" to give it to me for 12) and the colour was what made me go for it :)

Even let my spanish grandmother have a go of the ute..... She thought it was hilarous how "big" it was compared to my pops VT

So it's been a while..... few quick updates, swapped the old wheels for SSV's and got a bonnet protector.

Also did some gold pin striping on the hardlid and bonnet will get pics tomorrow :)

Forgot to add,

About a month ago my gearbox started slipping. Between work and family i hadn't had a chance to go get it checked out. On my way to work i stopped at Hungry Jacks to take advantage of their $1 Frozen Drinks Menu Selection , and my car wouldn't move out of the drive thru, just kept revving out. I had it towed to my mechanic who checked it , informed me the pump had blown and i'd be up for around $3K. Being good mates with the mechanic and the car taking a week and a half to get fixed (Supplier sent a 6sp not a 5sp) I managed him down to $2500 which allowed me to , if i wished, purchase 500 of Mr Jacks $1 Frozen beverages.

I picked the car up and it was a totally different car drives MUCH smoother, Sport Shift and Selective Shift actually push performance up now where it never did before by much.
I pulled the old box apart and was greeted with this..... She was well and truly ####ed :(

WELL SHES BACK
SO FAR :
-New 3.6L
- New Foggie globes
- new headlight covers
-New Xforce 2.5 rear mufflers with quad 3inch tips

AND FINALLY : A letterbox grille that goes in for paint tomorrow, trial fitted it to the ute and the car looked like it had an out of control cocaine habit.
