My Stout Update - Finally It Has Hit The Streets

[Oz_Stout]

Hey all.......... well my Stout has finally hit the streets.

For the last 4 months I have spent the little spare time I have working my butt off trying to get it ready for a big car rally we have here on the last weekend in September. This of course was last weekend.

It's called "Bay To Birdwood" and it always has 1750 cars in it. Many more try to enter but they cut it off at that amount for some reason. It's really more of a big cruise than a rally and it's for classic cars. It starts near the beach and drives up into the foothills that surround our fair city and finishes at our famous Birdwood Motor Museum. The drive takes roughly an hour and a half. Then once we all get there everyone parks on the paddocks around the museum and it turns into a big show 'n' shine. There's food stalls, rock 'n' roll bands and dancing etc etc etc. It's great.

Anyhow........ my mission was to have the Stout ready for this and I just made it in time.

Here's a reminder of what my truck looked like when I first got it:






Now it looks like this:

Lookin' Good!!!

Did you paint it, or just wash & wax? I love the hay bales in the bed! Job well done! ;D

Did you see any other Toyotas at the 'Bay to Birdwood'?

[Oz_Stout]

Nope, hasn't been painted, just a good cut and polish all over. Then just added a venetian blind in the rear window, mirrors up on the front guards, port-a-walls, painted the rims and the TOYOTA lettering on the tail-gate and that's pretty much it. The biggest job was getting it mechanically roadworthy.

Yep there were other Toyota's at Bay to Birdwood.
