Thanks Mick, yer im interested aswell, ill just be using the ones that are on the front of it now, ill give them a good polish up though, until i get enough money to get a set of GTS or show wheels
Small update, stripped most of the front nose cone down the other day, bought a new heater core, just slow choose between the 2 utes of what parts are better than others.

More pics 
put front panels on to see how my gaps are going, through the doors on the help get the gaps, ill weld the cracks up in the nose cone than undercoat and ill put it on, left panel has had a good hit got it fairly straight had about 1/2 inch of bog in it so ill get it straighted out better once everythings bolted up, slowly looking more and more like a Ute.

We've got some colour , inside of panels are all painted, all edges, around the doors those kinda places. found the brandnew tailgate we bought before i even had the ute ahahah
Dad does all the spraying, im not confident enough yet, he was wondering why the paint was coming out so quick, 2mm tip in the gun paint went on even, using an awesome vacuum fed gun dad loves it, one of the best guns he's ever used

cheers Kieran, all i wanted was blue aha so dad said right we'll paint it cyan, great feeling when you see it all nice and cleared and it looks great than you rub it back and it looks crap and you think to your self will this thing even shine ahaha
Clears all rubbed back took 3 hrs both me and dad rubbing, way to hot outside to buff it, i still dont feel comfortable doing so dad has that job while i do the rims

Now THAT looks good! I also like those WB wheels... kinda suits it.

Posted 22 January 2014 - 12:50 PM
thanks David, I don't think there factory wheels, they look like wheels off a trans-am, smokey and the bandits car has the same style

As Dave said they are WB Statesman wheels, 15" X 7".
The paintjob looks great.
