Hey all!
Firstly, this is one fly joint y'all have got here - props to all of you for some wicked mods.

I'm another one of the boys down under, from Brisbane to be exact.

This is a pic of my latest project - a stretched bit chassis, lamborghini wheels, 2.6 motor, and a f250 chassis from a cheap tank-skid monster truck (which now wears a skyline - more pics to come). Next plan for this thing is dual cells and a decent paint job - im thinking metallic green with chromed up bumpers.

Well, thats it for now, will post more pics once its a bit further along.

RESPECT PIMPS!

[edit] - wtf is going on with my html? lets try that again...

Hey I fixed your image tags for ya. That html stuff don't work here, I guess cabo's got it shut off.

Welcome to the hood, man.

Nice looking truck there. The wheel wells look a tad big for a street truck, but everything else looks great. Bet that body would still look perfect as a monster truck too.

Cabo + Dave - thanks heaps! you guys both do some wicked work (i've been checking out the forums + galleries here now for a while)

Ricer Skyline, complete with ridiculously oversized turbocharger.

Stock Toyeast Mini - Now fitted with BCG shortened chassis, white roof, 4.2 toyeast motor + custom styrene swaybar. working on re-installing the headlights.

Boneyskin - nice spot! - i also pilfered the exhaust and twin nitro tanks off that baby - will have to find more pics to show you the back!

SG219 & Sessiz- thanks man - nice to find a community that is still churning out some wicked mods for these little beasts!

SWG - Yup, came that way. it should be pimped very shortly, just have to hang out until payday so i can go buy me some paints!

UPDATE - New pics!
I got myself busy the other night and made myself some dubs! managed to shag the first set - NEVER drill with a dremel while drinking corona's. I sobered up and used a hobby knife handle with a small drill bit clamped in it. hand-drilling = good!

I used the leftover front wheels to make a new rear axle for the mini - looks more realistic now. Will post pics when i get a chance!
