Nice HZ by the interior, and it's a Premier grille. Nice and ridgy looking really though has it been painted in 2k?

Nice ute!
Love the 4 headlight front and the Houndstooth type seats, and the engine treatment. Very nice.
Reckon I'd photoshop it and see how it would look with the headlight surrounds given the normal blackout treatment as applied to Monaros and GTS of that era?
Very nice score.

I love the look of this thing. The blue and orange stripes are such a good combo.
Looks like you've picked up a peach.
Putting an extra pedal in this one Daz? Would be super nice with an LSD and a 5spd.

Photoshop not required, it just would.
