Anyway for the pics
When i first got it and my first trip around part of red rocks.
Got sick of the faded plastic look so went out and got a bottle of Mothers Naturely Black and smartened up the look of the car. - The celica next to it is my old car.
Wanted to get it lifted so brought the Ome springs from G guy motors in town, then got them to lift it.
Decided it looked a tad too skinny with the stock wheels.
So got my new rims put on- Imo its slowly looking meaner and meaner.
Went for the Wof passed all good besides my brake pads so got them replaced then my mechanic said to me about how much roadnoise my old tires were making and to be honest i wanted to replace them anyway, So ended up going with the Hankook Rt03.
I wanted a towbar so i decided to go with a towhitch that can be hiden inside the rear bumper. Also at the time the enginners recommended that i have the chassis member strengthened.
Then about a month or 2 later, Popped into Wellington Towbar services and got a custom front mount for the rated towhooks and a rear slide in took hook for the back.
One day was around Paraparaumu with some mates and was dicking around in the beach carpark and decided to drive up on the bank for a flex test. Then i realised i need to trim the inner wells at the rear. Luckily its plastic so easy as.
Basicly thats it for me really so far. Looking forward to doing some 4x4ing now since all the hooks and etc are done and meeting up with other Isuzu owners will be a bonus!.
Thanks Aaron.
