Me being a 15 year old, on a bit of a tight budget, making no more than $250 a week its been pretty hard to do much for my car.
At the moment its in getting all straightened up and painted :) should get it back in about a week!
The colour i went with is 'Lamborghini Pearl Orange'. Yeah i know it will stand out but hey, its different.
are there any other cheap mods i can do to my car to get it looking good?
Cheers guys,

as far as looks the best thing you could do reasonably cheeply is stance and wheels.

since when was paint and panel a cheap mod lol

its not :P i got it done pretty cheap but :P but its one of those things i had to do

as long as they get the rust out- i got a cheap supposed mates rate job- was told rust would be cut out and metal rewelded in in major places- lets just say 5 years later, the rust came back as they just boged over the top.

lucky they are no longer in business- not cause of cr@p work, falling out between partners.

(i know how you feel with the whole 15 year old thing im in the same boat :( haha)
Chuck a couple pics up when you get it back interested to see how the orange turned out!! (pls) :P

i started to build my ute when i was 14 and yeah, i know whats like when you are strapped for cash. i still am pretty tight on money and i only earn bout 130 a week.
best thing you can do would be wheels and a nice ride height, it will cost you about 300 to lower your dato if you fit the parts, ebay sell lowering blocks 2 inch for 70 i think and king springs do a super low 2 inch for about 230 i think. as for wheels just have a look around and see what pops up on the fourm. heres a link to my ute

Niceeeeee. yeah im pretty keen to ge it back, might go on for a look tomorrow to see how it is looking.
i have my wheels and stuff, got them resprayed gun metal grey which should look mad,, easiest way to lower the front around 2 inches anyone ?

if you want a simple job, just get some low king springs, can get them for $110 trade i think.
or for about 1k you could build your own custom coilovers!

or for about $200 you can also build coilovers...doent have to cost $1000. and king springs are pretty #OOPS# and if you get springs that are actually low they wont be captive. so they are like having expensive cuttys really
