Hi ,
Well i think i spoke too soon when i said that the ute was driving very smooth.17/09/06.it wasnt.
Today i had new front disk rotors fitted & new calipers & new pads & 4 wheels re balanced to the car .
Now I am happy . The old calipers were rooted . My Brakes are so good now 4 wheel disk
Everything is new
It now drives smooth at high speeds & no noises ,vibrations .
I get my brand new GTS front seats on Saturday . will post photos after there in .
caio Rusty

Hey nick ,
Yea with the rims I had them sandblasted then the 15 X 8 + 15 X 7 blanks were fitted then they were 2 pac primed and baked .
now they were rubbed down
They then were painted silver , carefully masked up (very time consuming) then painted black and finally cleared and baked again .
I have the new seats in and will get photos and post shortly ,It changes the inside it makes it look awesome .i am going to a show this sunday so that should be fun.
so caio for now boys
Cheers
RUSTY

fkn awesome ute youve got there mate. nice to see youve put the HZ GTS grille back in ;)
these gts seats that youre getting... have they got the black with red stripe insert, or the grey with red stripe?
anyway, keep up the good work.
btw, im not sure, but shouldnt the headlight surrounds be black?
