Hey Josh, your engine covers are on back to front, swap them from side to side and you wont have the big gap at the front.
Apart from that the ute looks a lot better.

No that was the side of the shed he hit... with the ute
As opposed to the things he hit with his other 2 or more cars he's crashed in the last 2 yrs

Now leave him alone Bomber... he's trying... and actually nearly got it ready for sale

Ready for sale isn't the impression I get. Ready to keep and drive round more like. But good job on it anyway. Looks good.

he won't sell in this market....he will drive it around
and possibly crash into things
but that's what insurance is for?
or am i mistaken?

lol exactly quagmire... hahaha i've made a few mistakes with my other car and the pulsar i used to have but that was mechanical failure what am i sposed to do when the steering rack doesn't let me steer anymore while doing 90 clicks haha

it'll still be for sale later on... sooner than later especially coz i'll be hopefully starting an apprenticeship as a diesel fitter technician so shitty wages so the ute can go so i have money for the torana
