Picking up the ute tomorrow, Yay
I'm picking up the xt ute tomorrow after a respray, attached are a few during and after pictures if anyone's interested. The colour is Zircon green and if anyone has a set of Torq Thrust wheels in 16x7 for sale I'm more than interested

Regards,
Tote

They quoted me about 6 weeks to do the job and I think it took about 7 which is OK by me. When I had the ute in my avatar painted it took them 9 months.
I was quoted $5500 - $6000 depending on the condition of the ute, since we had a few hiccups with broken bolts, XR doors that we all thought (assumed) were XT ones until the locks were fitted up and I got a new screen fitted which I didnt expect to be included in the price I'm pretty happy.
I didnt get to pick it up until yesterday afternoon and it pissed down all the way home. I've got to fit the gear I pulled off it and refit the engine and box then it goes back for a couple of small scratches to be fixed and the tray to be sprayed.
I'll post a couple of pics when I've got some more bits on it.
Regards,
Tote
