At last now had photo opportunities, the AU since bought for my wife and she's always driving it around, little chance for me to drive.

The factory headunit was removed and got new aftermarket MP3 unit. We're getting rid of it in the for sale section as the CD / Stacker part of the headunit needs attention with the common problems with AU factory stereo units jamming. Going for $40.

I am pulling my literally brand new one out of my ute ... and putting a twin core unit in it .... you can have my dirty but functional copper core radiator that is about 8 months old.

When i get it out of the ute though.

I know the new radiator is in at Roach's ... they called me yesterday ... so it's a case of me getting it out of the ute and swapping it .... just for piece of mind though ... I'd flush my one first before installing it.

I am sure the 20B will fit in with ease ... and still plenty of room for a T88 off the side.

Haha... You read my mind... LOL.

A standard 20BTT puts out 206KWs stock, So it would push a AU nicely.
With a T88 or T04 and some porting done, start counting the KWs

Would be nice to break the mould and not be like everyone else :P

We just picked up Megan her first set of wheels.
eBay is great, we got it for a steal

Introducing the Dream Dazzler, LOL

I've already had the heat gun out, pulled off the stickers, I'll make some new ones.
She's not really ready for it just yet, So i've got some time up my sleeves to PIMP it out :P
