The tint is illegal.
but nice other than that,
I reckon reserve is at about 12-15k so hope youve got alot of money

[devil_vl]

Nah...the tint doesn't look that dark...It can't be illegal!!

Yeh...I'm guessing the reserve is at least 15 grand I haven't bid on it. Submitted a question. Need that answered before I bid.

What does everyone else think of it???

the wheels are sh|t, it needs one of those maloo style wingy things behind the cabin to neaten up the lines and a hard tonneau cover.. otherwise it seems ok.

[devil_vl]

how much do you reckon getting all that done would cost?

[tuf-355]

yes im not a big fan of those wheels either, but the body looks in good nick.I would also want to see full reciepts and dyno sheets too.You do no its canberra also, so youll have to factor in shipping costs

[tuf-355]

how much do you reckon getting all that done would cost?

prob for a hard top painted to match around 1000-$1500

[devil_vl]

Yeah I do realise. But I was thinking, i could proabably stick my VL and 2 x rice-cookers on there and it should cover the cost of that ute. Plus 1 car would be alot more easy to handle than 3!!! LOL. At least I would only have to pay the rego for one car, the insurance on one car and every other expense that the WA/Federal Govt. has put in place to make buying cars so expensive. Far out. I don't wanna think about how much the stamp duty on that car will be if I bought it! i think its 3%...whats 3% of $20,000??? LOL...and i'm an accountant *shakes head sadly*

[devil_vl]

That doesn't sound too bad when you put it like that.
My main issue is with regard to the retrimming. I wonder how much it would cost to retrim the whole thing in black leather *grins evilly*
that would be mad!

well pends on if you just wanted the two seats or the whole hog....door trimes dash etc.Best bet is to go to your local custom trimmer and ask for a quote on a ute

[SiLENCE]

my brother's magna sedan cost $3k for leather retrim in green, including steering wheel, door inserts and new carpets.

i reckon around $2k ish would be fair assumption for a ute.

[devil_vl]

Yep I am a bookkeeper....but when I say bookkeeper...most people think library!!! FOR THE RECORD PEOPLE I DON'T WORK IN A LIBRARY!!! I work in an accounting office. I look after other peoples money (better than my own!!)

Yeh I might go down to a retrimming shop. I would get it all done tho. i reckon it would look dodgy if I only got the seats done and left that crappy trim through-out the rest of the car *pukes*

$600!?!?!?!??! FARRRRRRRRR OUT!!! are they trying to kill me or something?!?!?!

*cries in the corner again*

[tuf-355]

ahh ok an accountant in traning nice, tough line of work that very tedious!!.Good luck

[devil_vl]

yeh tell me about it. It's brain-numbing crap! why do you think I sit on here all day!!! ahahahah LOL...

Im an addict! :P *laughs like a mad man*

Nah...its all good. Pays the bills and thats all that matters.

So what does eveyone else think of this sexy mean beast...did everyone see the wheels on that FatGTO john took a pic of (@ motorvation)???

I want those wheels...I wonder how much they would cost...

[tuf-355]

you just wait till youve finished your degree then, all my account tax or buisness mates dont have the time to eat lunch sometimes!!.I did see those rims...damn sexy but they wont fit on your car love there is some serious tubbing to get those babys to fit....cost a fortune, being custom made billets
