    Thanks again for the comments Guy's,

    I'm pretty happy with the way it's turned out, Missed out by 20 seconds on getting a S/C for it off Evil Bay, guess it wasn't meant to be....Lol!!!

    Chrome Tips...Hmmm.... thanks for the idea VS-S, Twins on each pipe, dunno if I got room, But,Singles certainly worth a look at!!

    You Guy's got some nice looking rides out there too, wouldn't mind catching up one day.

    ok, i rate all the little things that have been done like colour matchin over-flow, lugs removed for the tarp, the rear zorst tips and how clean this thing

    in all honesty i dont rate the body kit, but i couldnt see a normal front bar workin with that colour.

    i think cause its a new colour it does make the bar fit in more.

    keep up the good work

    Thanks Again, gentlemen, Really appreciate your Comments :spot on:

    Next thing on the list will be to hunt down and kill the rattle I have developed in the Rear left hand corner (Very Annoying)...I'm thinking Upper Control Arm.
    I can twist it by hand...Can't be good...Lol!!

    I have put the Blue Engine Covers back on, Still looking for Chrome Tips for the Exhaust pipes,

    Add to the list.... B&M Shifter, Supercharger, Possibly Monaro style vented bonnet (not sure on that one yet)

    Firstly I would like to say this looks mint as I always wanted to respray my vs olympic ute in impulse blue and seeing this it would have looked awesome. The kit suits it due to the colour otherwise not usually a fan of changing kits. Definitely think about changing the lights back to standard, would look heaps better. The centre exits for the exhaust looks tough as mate, big thumbs up like that very much. Each to there own but I would think twice about monaro bonnet, everyone's done it and it looks tough as it is please don't change the exterior....

    Do you get out and About in this much? I live near woodcroft as well and thought I had seen an impulse vr/vs getting around.

    Love it mate will be even tougher once charged.

    Thanks watto,
    I do get about a bit, mostly on weekends as I have a company car for work, would like to get out a lot more.
    As you live at Woodcroft, it is very possible you have seen me out & about, I am at Reynella.

    You should pull me up next time you see me around, would love a chat and meet some of the peeps on here.

    I have thought long and hard about the monaro bonnet and I think it's been done to death, so the exterior will stay as is!!

    Cheers Paul

    Wow.... What a beautiful ute man. Absolutely love it. Definately needs stock tail lights (brand new) and it would be perfect. Should arrange a meet n greet with some of the other Adelaide boys on here. Would love to cruise with this thing :D

    And yep, It's very grubby, needs a good clean and I need to replace the carpet with Black stuff and rebuild the Console since I put the B&M in, Got some aluminium Sheet here, I will make a new Centre Cover when I get on holidays from work next month!!!

    Cheers Paul
