Okay guys, I have here a 88 VL Commodore that I bought late November 2012. I bought it while I was on my Ls and didn�t do much to it kinda sat there till I got my Ps because of low income. It was owned by a old guy and hasn�t been thrashed, im the 2nd owner and it has only done 181,000ks. Hardly any dents but for its age pretty good
These are the photos from gumtree before I bought it.
The first ride home while I was on my Ls still
A bit of the interior and what the car looked like
A while ago I was digging around home and found 3 police interceptor rims, 2 good but the third to rusty. I decided to keep them and spray them silver.
Took me about 2 weeks but I finally sprayed the rims, came up good I think. I have the nuts and center caps but not a photo of them.

Keep it stock.
Would be ashamed if that parcel shelf cops a hammering from the speaker holes.
I reckon maybe lower it a bit, other than that like you said, A respray will set it off.

Bigger wheels on cars with standard height looks bad! The sooner you slam it the better.
Otherwise looks nice
