Absolutely stunning. My bold boss used to drag race one with some ridiculously sized nitrous'd V8. Proper cars!

Thanks guys.
I’m going to change the stance just slightly and put it on some decent alloys. But other that she’s sweet as a nut.

Gave it some bfg’s and a nose down stance. Need to drop the front tyre size though…. Too big.  |

What size are the front tyres as I am looking for a larger pair for my pick up. Possible trade for a new pair of 215/65/15's if yours are bigger? Let me know. P.  |

Mine are 215/65’s mate. I’ve gone for some 195/60 for the front. Smashed a grand on tyres this week. 😂😂

Stuck her on some Jegs alloys. Coilover kit for the front is on the way. I’m tired of cutting springs. 😂  |

Stuck in a pair of QA1 coilovers to deck the front as ultimately I wasn’t happy with her stance…. She drives nice but I’m squeaky bum so I’ve got to bring her up just a half inch and stiffen up the coils a couple clicks. Looks badass tho.   |

You said it drives well.
So I am pleased that you have managed to hit an elusive sweet spot of modifying.
Lowering and comfort/durability.
It looks great in the last pic.
Real stealth meets cruiser.
I have some lowering kit that came with the S10 but have always shied away from fitting it as it needs to be a useable truck at times.

That is a good looking car,just a shame about the massive bumpers as they seem a bit incongruous with the overall look.

Tucked the bumpers and cut the boxes off the exhausts, now it sounds like a sbc should, and looks a little sharper. Sorry it’s filthy.   |
