Nearly finished putting my interior back together now, Just need to put stereo in so here's a couple of **** phone pics. Nearly finished the exterior now, so I'll put some more pics up in the next couple of days, although the more I look at the paint, the more disappointed I am with it. Oh well, it was cheap... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Whats so bad about it mate? Shrinking back? Sand lines etc???.....

Just general bits and pieces that look a bit untidy. I went in with too little money and had imagined the end product to somehow be more awesome. My bad really. As long as it doesn't deteriorate too quickly I'll be happy for a while, but I'm not all that keen on going through this amount of bullsh%t again to get a perfect result

Some more pics... Gotta get some berlina rear lights. The ones I have on there I bought when I first got the car. Ended up putting the SV badge on the front because my GMH one is already marked but I'll probably put the other (berlina, turbo, holden, electronic injection) badges on after a good polish.

Thanks guys, it's certainly no show car but I appreciate the kind words Quote: Originally Posted by Richo11 looks pretty bloody nice to me mate.. well done. Whats next on the 'to do list?' I still have to install my diff, clutch, flywheel, front struts and brakes...and remap my ECU (damn 9 psi limit ). I'm tired just thinking about it haha Quote: Originally Posted by Jeffo_vlt love it. Only one more thing would make it perfect- berlina turbo hubcaps Yeah thought about it....too expensive though (man that sounds strange ) for something that people can pinch easily. I've found some real classy looking 5 spoke 18's I'll whack on soon with white or redwalls. In the meantime I'm gonna get some better front cepters and put my new centre caps on and some new nuts just to tidy it up a little Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ebay and CT forum, This is the third one I've had They're a great wheel, I think yours is/was in slightly better nick though. I reckon I'm gonna sell this one again and stick to the original brock-type momo wheel I was going to put on. It'd be a shame to wreck this on a daily driver

Nah man, I wouldn't pay $200 for a set and I can't see a mint set going for any less than that. Unless someone on here wants to sell me some cheap lol. Besides, I had some VL calais center caps pinched in town in plain view on the street within a week of getting em. I do quite like cepters and I'll keep em until I can get these, or similar...
