Nizpro are worth a mention also by all accounts.You have come to the right place for advice for these cars, with lots of experience here to draw on.Its going to be a fun ride when your done, stick with it.P.S. Honey, I shrunk the dog!- its gonna look a little out of place on the back of the ute at speed.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
