Barbados green tonner

Hey all, just signed up to this forum and thought I'd share some pics of my tonner, its barbados green (which I'm not a big fan of, ay rob, but it is growing on me), its got an alloy/timber tray, dragway indies 14x8 on front and 15x10 on rear, xr8 bonnet scoop (sorry holden fans), it runs a slightly worked 308 which will soon be injected, aussie 4 speed (til i kill it), dual exhaust and extractors. i have a few plans for it but for the moment i just want to get it tidy and reliable. Hope you like it. Cheers.

tuff. I like it. I think the bonnet bulge really suits it too

Thanks m8, it was done pretty well, in my opinion it suits the lines of the bonnet really well.

Colour and wheels really suit it dude.

Same can be said about your WB to man, I'd say I'll be happier with the colour once its finished

Tuff looking tunna mate. Bonnet bulge is trick as.

Blu.

Love the HQ mate. Great looking truck.

Just picked up my 5th HQ today and looking forward to having a tinker with it.
Cheers Jon

Cheers blokes, its great to hear good comments about it

Welcome aboard mate...

I've a soft spot for green, have had a few ute's and vans in varrying shades.
Very neet and love how she's dropped on her guts at the front.
I don't mind the buldge either, that's one thing Ford does well, they have great add on's


Cheers Al.

Yeah i dont think i could bring myself to raise the front, even though the tyres are regularly kissing the guards, it took me a while to warm up to the bonnet idea but now iv come to love it.

hey all just give the ol girl a clean before it goes to get injected and paint finished (door jams and under side of bonnet), thought I'd share some updated photos, cheers.

Sorry mate, I accidently put a full bottle of compression in your motor to make it run better when i should have only used half, I only gave it a small rev but it still blew to bits, Im reall sorry hahahaha

Haha shes seen better days ay, hows it all goin?
