thanks for the update Apples! She's looking real good like everybody else is saying. Shame on the CF rear lid making a problem, hopefully you can get it from the other guys if Vorsteiner dont get their act together.

The amount of work thats been put into it so far is amazing and still ways to go!! Respect!

Looking good Appleman. Are you going to put the Tubi back on?

I get back to OZ late in Sept, from there the first show will be the Deni Ute muster on the 3rd 4th Oct.
It's a pretty "Aussie red neck" event all about our herritage of the Ute.
So having the Ute there will be out of the usual.
Shane has asked it to be in a pressurized tent to keep the dust out and the organizers are ok with that.
There will be a first time high end auto show later in Oct in Melbourne and that's about it for 2008.
Not sure how to go about SEMA, and the cost is probably not worth it as I'm not trying to sell anything.
If they would cover the costs of getting it there then that's different.

It would probably run over 10k for shipping and entry fees then more then that in air fares.

MIB...No the tubi will stay off as I'm looking for something with more of a grunty shound.
Kelleners will probably be my choice.

I'm starting to look for high flow cats, but the SS version are out of this world for price, so I might have some luck in OZ for better numbers?

I'll be doing the seats in Alcantara and probably many parts of the interior...dash and so on.
I like the idea of it done on large red stitching as a highlight.

The final portion of the paint is now going on.
Here's she's finally got some shine on her skin.
It's been many weeks in just getting the paint to this stage.
