Wow, i was very sceptical when you started, but it looks so tough. Stands out as a torana now, not just some old ute. Cant wait to see it when you finish 'dirtbagging' it. A shiney colour will look amazing.

hahaha good one : )

Well I thought I'd stick a few pics of it with the smaller rear tyres.

So that's it for now I hope. Now i can do some proper work : )

Viper, as for selling it, well I guess everything has a price but I'm certainly not interested in selling this one. I like it too much : )

Hi Josh. George May (his shop is called Racecraft) did them for me. It cost $100 an axle, so considering how much work was involved I was happy with that price.

I'll also get George to cut and spline the axles out of the borg warner diff I'm going to cut down for the ute. He charges $150 to cut and spline an axle. He also puts the little divot in the end of the axle, but I have no idea what that's for : ) I can PM you his number if you want.

He also makes a torana front end out of a modified crossmember and uses adjustable tubular arms with Strange alloy coil over shocks. He uses them in Bolwell Nagaris and cobra replicas etc. Plus they still fit in a torana.

Interesting. Sounds very similar to what McDonald Bros Racing does down here in VIC.

Do you know any more RE costs and if legal for the street?

The ute looks tough as, great job as usual mate.

Just wanted to say big congrats!

I picked up the bible today and found the spread on your bro's hatch, really good read and nice pics, so yeh well done guys

I'm sure the ute will be worth a few pages once you complete your house and have the extra time and coin to finish it off, thanks again for all the inspiration and good humor : )

If you hadnt gayed it up with flares and all the BS i'd recommend off white/flat black/whatever with this....

On the roof....

If you chose the /whatever option then the color of the finish could be tweaked to suit the color of the car.

But seeing though you came out of the closet and fitted flares spoiler etc etc to it and my recent color recommendations have been rejected i have no comment, i'll just show up and put whatever you have in my gun.

Mind i still like that D**** color you mentioned...Recon that would be both original and phat.

Cheers.

^ Sure you wouldn't recommend hot pink with purple polka dots on side skirts?

Metal flake and little bubbles on the roof is as gay as you can get. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Hmmm, convos and Bombers gay paint......

I must say though, I thought the convos were going on so you'd have something to hold the car up whilst you painted it (in gay bomber paint). Imagine my disgust when I found that these horrible things were actually what you want as the final product!

Eeeewwww! I can taste stomach bile in my mouth.
I won't be able to sleep :Headbang2:

I think you guys need to lay off Bomber a bit. He may be talking about doing metal flake paint, but I'm the one who has painted his whole car in it : )

Gotta love work utes with paint jobs from old dodgem cars hahaha.
