Thanks mate, good to hear some feedback, I got this SCA brand paint from super cheap auto, just a silver colour and a cheap clear, they worked very well with each other, hasn't chipped off yet or melted from the heat either. ---------- Post added 19-07-12 at 10:26 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by sle3per [View Post] my old VL turbo was exactly the same just ice-blue over mx-grey, nothing more tuff, i personally think that series 1 chrome door handles would set this off with all round black venetians but thats just me. Ive been thinking about the door handles for a while, might be the next thing to the never ending list lol and the black venetians aswell, the little quarter venetians are on the list aswell :P ---------- Post added 19-07-12 at 10:30 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by priceysVL [View Post] nice man, love the colour over the chasers. perfect ride height to, ill have the same setup on mine in the next few weeks It is a little bumpy but It doesn't really phase me, I love the height of it, just know that it may rub inside the guard depending what wheels/tires you have. mine rubs when I go over a hard speed hump or something, but thats only been once, my exhaust scrapes on over speed humps aswell, just a little tho lol

Time for an update guys... Been a little busy lately with exams, damn hsc :/ anyway found a bit of time and got a little excited after going to the VL meet (7th august 2012) and got a bit done to the car today...Took a few pics along the way. At the VL Meet with all her relatives Got myself an original MOMO steering wheel with boss of my mate Also got myself a radiator cover from jeremy at Brightline Fabrications, looks mad it my opinion Just thought it looked good her for 20+ year old paint job... Pulled the rocker cover off for some wrinkle red... The rocker cover And I finally decided to prep my moulds for a re-spray in mx grey.. Sprayed a few extra things to get the bay looking a bit nicer but ill wait till its all back together to take a pic... Hope everyone likes the thread... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ok guys time for an update So I have finally sprayed all my bars/ moulds as they were either cracked, scratched or chipped in a custom MX Grey, it has a little bit of like extra silver metallic in it, you can barely notice the difference, but I think it looks good. Ohh and I also sprayed my rocker cover wrinkle red anyway here's some pics... Prepping the drivers door mould Passenger mould Drivers side done Left side done Off came the front bar Prepping and spraying Upper mould thingy The rocker cover The engine bay Giving her a bath ALLL DONNNE Thats all for now guys will post up more pics as it progresses, Hope everyone likes the thread so far Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Update time guys.... Well something very upsetting happened last night (09/09/12) not to the car but to me... I have lost my license for 3 months due to me being stupid and speeding. -.- My fault completely... But work on the car will continue as usual... In the next 3 months I'm going to be doing a few things to the car that I've been meaning to do for a while. - VLT Diff rebuild (3.45 gears and a lsd rebuild) - Custom boot install with just simple carpet and plywood and a sub or two - Adjustable pan-hard rod and new rear bushes These are just a few major things I plan on doing since I can't drive the car for a while and will keep me interested in it still.. If anyone can recommend a decent place to rebuild a diff in sydney besides diff technics please let me know.. thanks Nick.

So since I've lost my license, I have had more time and money to spend on the car. Anyway so Ive done some stuff to it and bought some stuff for it The stuff Ive bought: - Stuff for the boot install (carpet,wood) - Wheel dressings - And Ive got my eye on a diff finally Now for some pics of the boot Heres how it looks... Wheel dressings :P Ohh and some 20's that I was thinking of buying. But Im buying a diff instead Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

OK guys update... The diff is now out of the car and on the floor of the garage.. Waiting to be fitted with a newer vlt diff.. Just waiting to be payed, so I can then pay for the diff. Anyway some photos for yous Where its at now... There's not much left that I wanna do now to the car, I guess now I can save for my gts-t gearbox and turbo conversion.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Umm the diff is gunna be a LSD 4 pinion 28 spline axles and 3.45 gears disc brakes basically a vl turbo diff, minispools are pretty crap for street use, they chew up tires and are terible for parking and stuff, Ive got an lsd, 3.45, disc brake sitting her id sell you cheap since it needs a small rebuild but your in victoria...

What else you got planned for it Ive still got ages on my p's man, 3 years or less I think a bit less.. Plans for it are VLT Diff, upgrade the gearbox to gts-t gearbox and turbo but thats all way in the future apart from the diff. Minor stuff that can get done quickly like alarm, rims possibly and custom plates And probably other stuff like brakes, suspension, all the bushes... The list goes on hahaha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Diff has been painted and is in finallyy guys.. Just need to replace the centre bearing in the tail shaft, its making a racket! I also took the commodore badge off the rear garnish and resprayed my tail lights, I think they look great. And I also got some vl berlina door handles... I think they are from a berlina? Diff is so tight compared the old one.. Tail lights all painted and pretty Old door handles New Berlina ones? Thats about it for a while now.. Ohh and I also got a dash mat to keep it OG but no photos.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

there berlina door handles man, had the same on both my berlina wagons.

Nice man , keep it tidy.

Got some series 1 grey calais seats, front and back with rear headrests, only 1 cigarette burn in the whole set.. still needs a good steam clean tho.. The back Just took these to campare when it was sitting out the front when I first got it.. Im very happy with it... Such a massive difference I reckon..
