The work ute
Posted By: Mechan1k, 05-06-2008, 04:50 AM

On my break on nightshift last night i decided to take a few quick and dirty shots of my work ute.

Now I must admit ... shooting in a well lit concrete carpark with a white vehicle (with lights on as well) is not as easy as it seems ... metering is thrown right out.

So I unfortunately had to PP some images using Photobucket's feature ... nothing flash really. But it made some of the images uasable.

I can still see that I need to get the ute machine buffed ... a hand polish and wax still hasn't brought it back to shine really (mind you ... last time it was cleaned was well over 6 months ago (20,000mi - 32,000km-ish).

Anyway ... I thought I'd share them (as some was interesting in Aussie utes).

A lot of Curves changes just to bring these first 2 back.




There's a splatter mark that has eaten into the clear perspex cover over the cluster (previous own used Armor-all too close causing this permanent stain )


Headunit




Metering hell ... I had to fiddle with this to get it OK-ish ... this is a top down view of my custom projector headlights that were made up (not available from factory or aftermarket for this model).

I have been told to use like a Glass/perspex polish ... so i might go and have a look for some and see how it goes.
