Yes ! Thats if you can find one though. Should look at buying one of them non-flip ones from ebay. I got backed into by a van and their towbar went through my bumper and smashed up all my number plate I know how you feel. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

All mucked up etc etc.. yeah thats the one. most retarded roundabout ive encountered. ---------- Post added 14-11-10 at 19:49 ---------- Even though weekend was started not so well got a bit done. Put on new 290mm discs, some VN calipers, spray painted the drums black and new rear shocks. They were so worn that when you compressed them they didnt even move back to normal under no load. So next i think ill do the front shocks and some new springs all round. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

sounds and looks like 1 mean vl welcome 2 ct man

Finally some updates. Got front struts with super/ultra lows and rear super/ultra lows and shortened wagon shocks off trademe (from Damo) i think. There was a lot of procrastination before i finaly got round to installing them. Repainted the rear springs and got them fitted with the shocks, which was a nightmare to get the sleeves out of the old ones to put in the new ones for the lower mounting. Got all new wheel bearings for the front and everything went smoothly until last corner i checked the outer bearing cup in the hub and it was farked. So managed to get that out of the hub and opened the box of new bearings to find the wrong type so had to wait for a ride to part master. But after that smooth sailing and looks just like id hoped plus the great satisfaction of doing all the work my self. Also have got extractors and full 2 1/4 or 1/2 inch exhaust with a resonator and HSV muffler installed that i got off DOSEIT which produces a mint rumble, gave my window trims a touch up with matte black paint they were looking really worn and haggered and came up real nice as well as fitted a momo steering wheel.

Doesn't really matter too much, but I think you'll find the window surrounds are supposed to be gloss black...(Unless you were going for a different look) She's got a nice ride height at the rear Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks good sitting on ultra lows Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Man those external 1/4 venetians look really nice!

Few updates. Got myself a Link G1 (old school), RB20det turbo, 30et injectors, stock VLT exh manifold, 550x230x65 intercooler and custom intercooler piping setup and customised exhaust by Danny (UNONT2). Bay definitely needs a tidy up, so sloppy Off to Dannys Slow but enjoyable process wiring Piping on
