juzt some pix of it now..just the basics..any ideas for some other basic things that can be done to make it look a little bit better ?? Im also after thermO fans instead of this clutch fan if anyones selling them ?? Hope this upload works too 1st time. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

first learn to take fotos of the whole car haha umm wot springs u got in it? maybe go a lil lower..............?

give it a good polish, put some exhuast tips on it if it doesnt have one, maybe a venetion, lil bit lower in the back Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah just grabbed some springs today - came out of a vx sv3000 that sat on its Ass. I wanted to do the front a little lower but not to keen on the back. Trying to Stay defective free haha. Its got some tipz on it got pacey extractors to 2 1/2" right threw To 1muffler that splits into twin pipes running 2 1/4" tips on each. Should I compress my springs or Put others straight in it you reckon??

put others in see how it sits

looks like your statesman is a series 1, then i would put front and rear bar out of a series 3 statesman, series 2/3 rear tail lights and centre garnish (only if it doesn't have them) chorme door handles

try get a hold of a grange boot lip.. if u like the look of them .. hard to find a genuine one tho .. took me a while wk/wl side indicators (you will need the looms and re-attach them urself and use double sided tape, coz the whole are too big) .. i find em alot neater lookin den the vt ones caprice grill if u dont already have one.. might pick up a good price on ebay and like BT1-355 said .. sII/III rear garnish with tail lights is a must! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yo if u want some thermos you can go street and strip i think in dande and their 170 bux.. ive got 2 from them and they work good as..

Thanks for all the tips. I got the caprice grill on the front already and it is only a Series one. Wats the deal with the series 2 garnish and lights. Do they bolt straight In?? And are the chrome trimmings included with the lights or is that sperate. I really like ur statesman too mizgmh and ur plates. Pretty tuff haha. I had a set of Gts wheels but I didn't like the look of them so went to the commom sigz.

Did u do the wiring yoursel or got someone out?? That's grouse!! I really gotta find where these guys are located and pick one up. I got a few prices on the Series 2 stuff. From holden 275ea for the tail-lights and 808.40for the garnish haha. Damn pricey. Wreckers are 170 and 400 so I gotta keep an eye on here or ebay. I wanna try pick the lot up for about 4hundred And put them thermos on too, gives u a little bit more room I reckon. Ur ute looks heaps nice Man!! Got the paceys on it and the aftermarket rocker covers. They're great too.are they alloy or cast iron? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol.. asked my dad, i think street and strip are in seaford.. look em up in the operator.. i done most wiring with my dad but an auto elec went over it just to make sure that nothing is wrong..i think their just cast iron extractors, but their the wrong ones, the exhaust place got it wrong, need the 3 into ones because were loosing mid range power.. lol, ute?

Sorri man I keep looking at ur ride and thinking its a 1 tonner so that's why I wrote ute. My mistake. Sounds simple enough. I'm gonna look more into it man and ring around this operator And see wat we can get happening. 170's too cheap I'm loving it. Who did u get ur extractors threw?

tidds exhaust.. dont get me wrong they done a *** awesome job, except somewere information was misundertood..their in spotswood if u wanna go there
