hey guys, thought id put in a few pics of my car to see what u all think. I got it when i was 17 and have just been fixing it up getting it looking as nice as possible. im now 18 and loven it. Anyway, here is what has been done to it since i got it. .a respray . walkinshaw wheels put on. .front brakes, drilled and slotted .callipers sprayed red. (if that counts) . cold air intake . 3" exhaust mandrel bent . a better heavy duty drive shaft and gearbox . all seats retrimed. . boot retrimed and boot lid. (to stop rattling) . momo steering wheel. . vyss pedals . alpine head unit. . Apline, ipod adapter (so ipod can be controlled from head unit) soundsteam front n rear and soundstream amp. . Kenwood amp and 2 15" MTX subs . in cabin adjustable boost. . full alarm with sensors . turbo timer (that is being fitted this week) . new number plates . front grill and grill on bonnet resprayed grey. . Lowered king springs and peddars suspension. . Adjustable panard rod . and some other mechanical small bull**** stuff. Anyway that�s that. I�m still working on it doing mods but for the next year it will be mainly towards looks then in a couple of years it will be power. so here it is. IN order. . Custom install all my amps and subs in the boot all nicely enclosed . A respray (similar to the new xr6 blue) or the new Holden blue with a pearl in it, still keeping the bottom silver. . Lowered more. . bigger turbo . front mount intercooler enjoy and any feedback to what else i should do would be good. thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

...but rubes its not a brock?! how can you say positive things about it?! lol :P mate i dont think you should respray it, the colour looks awsome as it is, and those wheels, the red calipers all that go together really nicely. Also, you have the beige calais interior, which is DEFINATELY the best colour nice one! how many km's does she have? got any engine bay or stereo pics??
