Once i find my camera charger i will post up new picz as it is very close to being on the road. i have repainted the whole out side and the inside of the tray(bed) and picked me up a set of 20s for very cheep with the perfect offset that i can tuck in the front with drop spindles

Iv entered a show in Auckland, New Zealand in less then a month from now so thats my motovation to get it done and on the road for the show. iv also gotta run it in.

wow nice bro

Hells yeah! Cant wait for pics!

looks killer

truck looks nice bro...

tha one thing that lets the truck down is the shitty bumper. every man and his dog has a hilux bumper or surf/4runner chrome bumper. i will end up get a one off bumper for this maybe grant customs 1 or get my mate to build me one

Dude this thing is an inspiration! Your engine bay is extremely nice! In the pic of your tank and compressor... Are those your airlines or airline sleeves?

NICE

The civic is my evryday car and im going 2 keep it that way roll it till the rims fall off haha'cant wait to see this truck in person nice work bro
