the original hilux

Some would say why.... get a new 1 youve got no aircon.. no ABS. no airbags... This is our old work ute only used for 8 weeks a year (winter bee keeping) ..It was used and abbused and it wouldnt die.. It was gifted to me buy the boss as a joke i think..We (wife and i) use it for hunting ..and i just love its raw guts no frills just piont and shoot (or hit  which ever comes first)..we cleaned it up a bit that was 1 year ago now its time to stretch its legs a bit..

started with a crap load of new metal (seriously banged up) some primer .

the boys a topaz paint brewed me up some  2pak Iveco green
