Welcome mate! Having chosen a Skyline and a Falcon shows pretty good taste in cars IMHO

That's a really nice ute you picked up. I'm sure you'll have fun doing it up - of course once you start you can't stop y'know

Nice ute ... damn AUIIs didn't get the colour-coded mirrors like the AUIIIs.
That's one thing I am missing on mine.

plenty of mods available out there for the AU utes.
5-speed = fun

What extras did the Marlin get over the normal XLS????
I presume it was only a Series III model as well.

Thanks all _2: , Yes its a nice marlin ute with around 70k on the clock and i picked it up for $17,500 drive away from a dealer with also a ford extended 5 year warranty till next febuary and also a crappy 3 year dealer warranty.

I want to add some subs amp and keep my prestige sound system so nice , ummm for extras i dont really know , all i know is it has all power options and also a special edition black interior with the door trims and seats have a blue/black design on them. And im pretty sure an updated engine block not to sure tho, only have had it for a few days... and i am pleased with it and is alot safer than my skyline!!!!

If anyone has any ideas of basic mods for it, let me know
