Turismo SSZ ute

[thatotherguy94]

Thanks, the sunroof sold me on this car and had pretty much everything I was looking for, just a bonus that it was Turismo

Over the weekend I upgraded the stereo, I was sick of not being able to have my phone/ipod plugged into the car and just wanted an upgrade from the standard head unit. Autobarn having a 25% off sale also helped. Just went for a basic stereo and speaker upgrade, nothing too fancy.

Had this lowered, rear shocks were stuffed so I had it done at the same time. Didnt want it slammed but wanted it sitting a bit better then it was before.

Looks great. Love the VF wheels on it! Just enough without going overboard.

Looks good now sits at the perfect height IMO

 

[thatotherguy94]

Thanks, im pretty happy with the height its at now. Have recently moved out of home and was very useful and useless at the same time. Good for moving a large amount of stuff in one trip as long as it all fits under the hard lid..
I also changed the console lid to a calais one

Have also gone back to the stock wheels as the SSV's needed tyres and I bought new wheels which ended up on the vs...
Ill give it a clean soon and take some fresh pics when I get time

Couple of updated pics, turns out a queen size bed does not fit in the back of a vz ute..

and freshly washed for valentines day

 

[thatotherguy94]

Not much has changed but the SSV's are back on again with new tyres and I took a couple of fresh pics

Gota look after these things even more so now .
No such thing as a sports utility made new any more anywhere in the world ( to my knowledge anyway) .
And no!!! A zupped up 4x dual cab is definitely not and will never be a sports utility .

When I bought this car it had been keyed along both sides and had full intentions on respraying when I got it within 12 months.. well 18 months after buying it I finally got around to it. I'm a spray painter by trade and the boss was willing to let me use the workshop after hours and on weekends which was a massive help. At the same time I resprayed it I purchased new belt moulds, badges, headlights, taillights and a second hand tailgate in better condition. The whole thing was stripped down and took me about 2 and a half months from start to finish working mainly on weekends and during my lunch breaks.

Pulled apart ready to start repairs, sunroof also came out

Repairs done and ready for primer
