I just noticed you are in Rockvegas I lived there for nearly 2 years and Im still trying to get over it do the still have the bulls with no testicles at either end of the town?

thats a big load of work by the way well done

I take it you are going to flood the engine bay with paint once its all cleaned up

be a shame not too

You've been quiet lately Rohan, I wondered what had happened to you and Jeff's old ute. I didn't realise it was that bad, you've certainly got your work cut out getting it back up to scratch but it's looking good so far.

I reckon you should shout yourself a late model turbo front cut and Crossbred 5 stud conversion while your at it.

Half the fun of the photos is working out which way is up and where they are. Looking good mate, keep it up. I love threads like this.
