I didnt notice before but looks like someone has been leaning on the drivers side door .... or is that a bit of road rage?

Coilovers, that will fix it but you will need to bash in the floor pan corners as well as trim the bottom edge of the front guards. Look good. Can tell you been spending too much time in northern burbs now

should be an interesting car when its done with all that new tech stuff going into it...
really interested to see how she works out for ya shoota...
good to see your already into the rust repairs. guessing now your had your fair share of experience haha
look forward to seeing more champ... keep up the good work.

nice ute Shoota.. looks clean! good luck with all the gadgets, all the mod cons would be nice.. MAybe I can drop my rodeo off for a makeover. Cheers Ed

Demacoz- yeah mate, someone backed into Fergie not long before I got her. The previous owner was horrified! I'll weld up the door off my other ute, repaint it and she'll be pretty again!

Mik- I'll probably end up going with coilys. I tried the 180B struts this morning and the stub axle angle is right to fit them but they hit the RX7 four spots that I have on them, bugger! I'll try my standard Stanzas when I get a chance and if they don't fit then I'll definately put the coils on the Stanzas.

Carps- cheers mate, yes the other ute gave me an insight into what is required to fix a bit of rust!

Ed- bring round the Rowdago and we can pimp your ride!

Took another picture this morning-




Can't wait to get the fronts on to see how she looks!

I like that colour Shoota, it is very similar to what I had planned to paint my ute (or vice versa).. those wheels are nice too.

Cheers Ed.
I've changed my mind roughly 20 times regarding colour. I'm pretty keen on a new colour that's coming out soon on the new Ford Focus called Candy Red-




But I've resigned myself that I'm going to go either Frozen White or, much again to many peoples horror, Satin Black (over the white). I can't decide. I'll paint it white, if I like it great, if not then satin black it is.

choosing colors, dunga
go with Montana Tan

I'm having great success with kill rust cans currently lol. Stands up to a bit of punishment too hahaha

Ordered HSD coilover kit last night from Otomoto. $299 is pretty good value really. There's super cheapies on Ebay for about $75 which is amazingly cheap but not something I'm going to skimp on (for a change!!).

The rims actually fit straight onto the Stanza struts within about 5mm (perfect!). The crappy big style Stanza caliper even fits between the wheel. Until I get a set of decent stoopers on the struts I'll just run with the standards.
Anyone got a set of Verada/VL Commo discs and calipers they need a new home for??

EDIT- Scratch that, just got a set! $225, bargain!
