Excellent job joining the two together cant even pick where you joined them! bowdown
Great choice of colour and wheel combo too really suit the shape of the old girl, the only faults I can see is the side chrome strip is way out of scale and the fronts not right. (Grill slope, no indicators etc)
But none of that is your doing so super job! cheers

looks great - you have done a good job in getting the two parts to work together. I would not try this as I would only end up with more bits for my wrecking yard.

What a brilliant ute. There aren't enough Aussie utes in the scale world so you have something to be proud of. Love that colour too. Well done. bigthumbsup
