Nice pickup, patients always pays :spoton:

Also not a fan of the white roof, but the body colour is OK, by me.

lol i actually kind of agree with Tim for once in regards to adding flares or keeping it flareless...
it does look too good to 'hack up', but whatever floats your boat, do as you wish.

btw u dont always have to hack the guards to put flares on, you can always just roll them (sorta thing) am i wrong?

Did you by any chance buy it off ebay?? As I swear I saw that car on there... Great looking car reminds me of mine...and theres nothing wrong with the two tone, why have a car that looks like every one elses.
