Kris' VY SS

[kris_penn]

Yea I love the black I had never owned a black car before the ss and so many people were telling me not to get one but after you finish washing it and stand back to look at it the thing just looks beautiful mind you keeping it clean is a full time job haha, loving the feedback guys cheers, and as for the 408 turbo hopefully that will be in the woodworks in the not so distant future

Great looking SS, love black but too much work for me to look after, some tasty mods there too andhaving sunroof is always good.

So I put the 3.9s and the true trac centre in this weekend, well actually over the week after one week of trying to get the shimming right I took the centre down to G & J Differentials and got the fellas there to set it up I can not speak higher off Joe he was a big help and I highly recommend him any who just a couple more pics

All the new shinnys

All apart

Cleaned up and looking pretty

And about the point I cracked it and got it put together professionally haha

Didn't get one of it all assembled I'd had enough at that point and just wanted the car on the road again haha

Next on the cards is getting the gearbox rebuilt by Mal Wood
