Oh that night shot with the brakes showing is cool. Nice addition with the interior bits too. The full day shot of the ute is a fave though very nice Matt

Cheers

That looks really good Matt. Who did the leather work?

I think the car looks better with the painted bonnet.

Yeah everyone is saying the painted bonnet looks better, the CF bonnet is goneski.

Are you able to give a rough idea on the cost of your interior fit out and how long it took to do? I think it looks tops and would love to have my Territory done in a similar way.

Matt, that looks sensational. I liked the CF look, but I think I like it painted. Well done. Interior is excellent.

I mind you asking as I don't want just any riff raff going down to see my connections. : :the_finge

But seriously if anyone wants to get a price on having their car done give Doyles a call on 9748 1666 and ask to speak to Simon and tell him that I (Dave) recommended them to you.

Love these rims ... I wasn't a fan of the previous ones you had on the ute.

Good to see you changed your mind and kept the ute .... especially all of the hard work you have put into it.

Interior is nice as well ... hmmm ... might have to pay Doyles a visit ... but was hoping for someone closer though ... as I want to get a few things re-trimmed in the ute.

I'll look into it when funds permit as well.

Was funny bumping into you (not literally) on the M2 the other afternoon.
I thought to myself that yellow ute looks familiar :hihi:

Was selling the ute, but when that time came it was hard to see all the hard work go down the drain, especially $$$ wise, so decided to keep it...

Round 2

PBR Brake Package (Race Brakes - Wetherill Park)
FPV Steering Wheel (got it cheap cheap), craps all over the standard one!
Under Bonnet goodies from Redcliffe Dyno in QLD (Thanks Steve); Rocker Cover, Fuse Box Cover, Power Steering Fluid Tray

Would like to thank Dave and Adam for helping put it all in.
