looks good seb getting it lowered? looks in mint condition i'm guessing grandpa spec?
Anymore details? k's engine mods that sort of thing
I love the old deville stato caprice's got the gangsta look about them
ah got to love those ex-limos, cant wait till the mods start to come into it, since i know ur gonna keep the original parts just incase.
what are the kms on the engine btw?
Haha yeah Grandpa spec and the guy was using it as a limo in his limo company so its in pretty good nick.
it got a reco engin 60,000ks ago and the only mods its got is extractors and a duel fuel system.
Yeah its like aussie mafia![]()
I just figured out what it needs.... Hydraulics and a few fake bullet hole stickers
Haha nah think ill pass on the hydaulics mybe airbags though :P and I dont want any holes even if they are fake lol
seb, looks good.. that last pic looks very nice...
Get the plates u want.... HINT HINT.
tinted windows yet?
Not bad not bad... Granpa Seb.
dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.
Haha it totally looks like one of those old 1920's mafia cars, all you need is the tommy gun sticking out of the window. Dunno about the plates though, i thought your name was Seb not Sam. Get it lowered and shell be a nice ride, look forward to seeing it in the flesh this friday maybe.
Yeah ill prb go friday hmmm tommy gun aye.....
Yeah plates are on order and ill book the tint in fot this weekend i swear :P
Yeah ill get round to lowering it but hey the last car I tryed to lower caught fire remmber :P
Yeah I love that last photo looks awsome but then again I like any photo of my car![]()
Ok update, Custom plates should be here by early nxt week and I got a quote today for a twin 2.5 lukey system from the extractors back for $600 this sound ok? im gunna get some more quotes ova the next few weeks, also a guy round the corner will cut n polish the car,steam clean the engin bay and underside of the car and wheel arches and polish all the chrome for 200 or he will just steam the engin bay and underside of the car for 80 bucks sound good?
One of the better cars on this site.Keep the exhaust just get some straight through mufflers and it will sound great.Id lose the mud flaps and just lower it a bit as they can be a bit of a boat.Even better you could sell it to me.
Cheers mate yeah I think so but then again I own itso im a little biased , Nah ill def be gettin a proper sports exhaust, Haha handles pretty good for the moment so lowering isnt top of my list, Hmm no chance in hell Id sell this love it too much

600 isnt bad for a twin system and lukey sound sooo good. but ring around and get more quotes. 200 for the clean is ok i suppose there's a few hours work in it so thats where it goes most detailers would charge that or more i reckon
Hope that helps
Pub
Cheers yeah thats what I thought and yeah ill go to a couple more exhaust joints to get more quotes ill use that first one too see if I can bargain some one down lower.
Update Tints getting done tommoro so windows will be tiny bit darkerany one coming friday night to krispys will get a sneak preview before the pics go up

gas is for BBQ'S not cars!!!!!!!
Still, i wouldnt want a car on gas, i dont trust cars on gas, heard 2many stories and the gas tank takes up 2much space. as i said b4 gas is for bbq's not cars lol
Wow thats an original argument troy "gas is for bbq's not cars" well my last car was a ****IN bbq!! lol and if you look in my boot troy you would see that the gas tank doesn't take up that much room at all **** I could probly still fit geoff in there, its got a boot big enough to fit a wookie and a gas tank lol
As for the whole gas thing I could careless what any1 say helps me afford to run this beauty of a car and it runs real well on it and as I love to drive alot I think id be broke in a month or so if i was running it on petty all the time lol
Its just pure class. It really is. Style and class. I cant wait to see it friday.
Yeah tis a nice ride granpa, i like it more than ur vs, but it is 100% old man spec, when you gonna cut ur bun off?
And gas is not only for BBQ's its for TIGHTASS's LOL
You desperatly need to lower it and what not, but tint will look mint, i hope you take my advice in the darkness of it.
What "custom" plates u getting? Or just the same u got now but black slimlines?
Hahahahah wookie AND a gas tank.... that sounds like a challenge LOL
Cya tmoz man
EDIT: That cut and polish your talking about isnt a proper cut n polish, they will just run over the car with a rag for that, a proper cut and polish costs several hundred more than that. But ur paint is in pretty good nick so will prob do the job anyways, and steam clean will make ur bay look a lot cleaner, you also need to clean up the mess of wires in the bay..... and CHROME AIR JOBBY BRO!!!
And that last pic looks mint....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Man ur funny..... its true though, especially now with drivin a boat etc...
Still nice car though man, u better learn how to drive now though!
Ohhh and please ditch the hubcaps, I HATE HUBCAPS!!!!!! Dunno what rims would sure the car though... somthin oldschool, but no gts wheels will look good or anything, and hotwires wouldnt cut it, nor would centrelines or dragways..... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Ill keep thinkin man
Haha yeah me driving in a straight line now that is funny but seriously you wont see any of that in my new car I love it too much.
well give him a ring get some prices n get back to me cheers man.
Geoff yeah I recon its alot better than the VS too and im also not sure what to get as rims either somin that looks abit like the hubcaps would be wicked and IM NOT GETTING ****IN 20INCH CHROME **** poeple keep suggesting that so dont bother.
As for big chrome filter its on my list ive allready got an idea in my head to fit it ill need to borrow that real handy cutting tool of ures so ill prb do it at ure joint lol
