Story
So I bought this ute as my first proper car cause I like them and I needed it for work. I was going to find one with everything I wanted done to it already, but I wouldn't want to take it into paddocks etc. Just happened to find this and wanted it.
The body and paint is pretty poor, stone chips, dints, scratches etc. Which may get fixed some day. Mechanically the ute's fine, runs well enough and hasn't missed a beat since I bought it. I'll update this thread as it gets worked into something that I want and like.
