Bought this a few weeks ago, decided to start my thread before i start splashing money at it. Car is stock 6 speed, paint needs attention, previous owner took it to indians to wash it. I think they used acid on the paintwork, has a few patchs that look like water has burnt into the paintwork. Not too many plans, just tidy her up really. Custom plates, rims machined and painted matt black, possible re spray, exhaust and a tune.

This car looks sexy as man, love the VZ body shape. Cant really see any issues with the paint with the pictures. what colour were you thinking of respraying it?

 

[Ayden450]

Yeah im pretty ordinary with a camera, tried polishing some sections out today. No luck, might be damage to the clear but its hard to tell on white. I'd be respraying it in the same colour, going with a white and black look once wheels get done.

Looks nice mate. A cut and polish would do wonders. Defiantly try that before you go forking out for a respray. More low and loose the spoiler would look tops.

Haha i like the spoiler, sets it apart. After owning a few cars lowered on springs, im over having to come to a stop over bumps and hope i dont scrape my sides. It would look better but its just not practical, this is my daily btw.

I know exactly where you are coming from, its nice being able to drive just as fast as everybody else over speed humps especially when traffic is busy.
btw nice pickup and looks good in the pics even if you say its not the best.

Took me 2 days, but its done. Wheels have had the gutter rash sanded out, primed and painted satin black. Sanded back the calipers and coated them with bright yellow, had enough of the red.

Wheels and brakes look great. Just need a little hsv sticker to put back on them.
