This is my recently painted ute. Photos don't do it justice.

Hi!
Close, it is a custom crossmamber for CA18DET...not MADDAT though.
Wheels are R32 skyline. I have S13 front struts and the IRS from a silvia in the rear with 300zx brake conversion, so that how I got them to fit.

Yeah Kev helped. I say helped, as he and I contributed equally I would think. I had the chassis diagrams, measurements and other parts and he has a heap of knowhow.
If it wasn't for him it wouldn't have gotten done...great bloke!
Thanks for the comments. Others on this site are more competitive, suffice to say I won't be sharing anything ever again.

Andos

If you send me an email address I can send some photos. I have them for just about every step pf the process to date. All up about 7 rolls of film. So if you like I can send some larger photos....I am not sure posting them on the site is the best idea, might be a bit too much clutter.

That's an awesome colour!

I think I might like it more than mine.

It would look better with some red/orange flames up the side.. wicked!

Can't wait to see it finished.
