mad wog: i just had the springs and wanted to put them in, i didnt know it was going to be that low on it mate, its only temporary. when my mate gets back from turkey im getting the fronts done, not when my next centrelink payment comes in. but im happy you like it none the less man thanks for all your comments guys, much appreciated. my mistake on the colour guys lol, someone told me it was cardinal but its maranallo VL-86-92 i still have the nudge bar in my shed, pm me a price and if you want pics ill sort some out. satansLBO i had the mudflaps, they are alright not the best condition. one of them has a chunk missing. And ill take some interior pics when i clean out some of my v bottles and ciggie packets lol. but the interior is mint still got the tapedeck in there ---------- Post added 29-06-11 at 18:35 ---------- leb vlt - i dont mind the vx gts, but no red walls. cops dont like them down here in melb. im pretty keen on the vy gts rims though but ill get them down the track zaksvl thats tuff Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

reason being when you lower the rear of a vehicle that far, it throws out the handling really far. just like chopping springs lowering the rear or front of a vehicle to that extent, with the other half of the car stock is very dangerous
