Just a quick message to say hello to everyone and introduce myself.

My names matt, I live in aberglasslyn NSW, and i Work up the valley as a shovel op in the pits.

I have a 2003 gu wagon fitted with a zd30

Last year i blew the motor up, just received the car back, with a hell of alot of work ahead of me LOL
While the patrol was off the road, it was given a new paint job ( black with gold flake ) and had alot of the dents cleaned up in it.

have a few other mods as follows.

* arb steel winch bar
* arb side rails and scrub bars
* kaymar rear bar ( tyre and 2 jerry cans )
* Warn 9500 winch
* outback roof console
* gme uhf
* twin bonnet scoops
* dual batteries
* 4 x lightforce 170 HID's
* DVD, @X12 inch subs, splits ect ect ect
* auto meter, boost, pyro, trans temp, and oil pressure
* arb comperssor
* hot water shower
* 3' stainless exhaust
* PWR alloy radiator

In the process of fitting the 4' lift and getting it engineered, than getting the car rego'd and back onto the road. going with 4' lift and 33's

Have an amazing amount of work to do to get the motor back bp to scratch unfortunatly, im very dissapointed, but will get on top of it and it will be off getting lost again in no time.

Looking forward to being apart of the site!!

Cheers Matt

Cheers guys,
Definatly looks like a great site.

Im running 35's on it now, but there getting very low and need replacing.
The main reason for going to 33's is that i can rego them with no mods to the speedo ect.
Also unfortunatly these days i do a fair few kms on the black stuff now that im living back in civilisation,

Ill get a heap of pics up in the next day or so,
