    She runs a 308 with a fairly lumpy cam and holley 600 through to a turbo 400 which shifts very crisply, and 10 bolt 3.08 diff. My van is slightly modified too - but I'm happy with the look. Rims are called Bandits - I got them off Showster rims on Ebay. Fronts are 17 x 8 with 235 45 17 and rears are 18 x 9 with 255 40 18 tyres. I reckon they would look great on a ute. I have a HZ ute I will swap them onto at some stage just for fun. I'll get some photos when I do.

    Next job is to lower it a bit - and keep cruising!
    I think she definitely looks the goods. Are the roads there going to accept any lower?
    I can see a custom variation of the over the guard and qtr stripes on her haha. In a colour or colours would be sweet as considering not totally by the book anyway!
    Like blacking out the stainless... couldnt bring myself to do it (especially as I have the pillar stainless behind the door and ive only seen it in about 2 other utes in qld) so I just cheated the look by doing the door frames and door top.
    I always found the trick to customising is to go totally wild, or make it look like it could (or should 😉) have been factory.

    Id love to see your ute, do you have a thread on her anywhere?
