looks good. looks like youre missing the rear lip for the ss kit. get that and it will look great.

what problems are you having with the steering wheel?

I might have to start searching on ebay for it then ... I was thinking of getting the group A kit ... But not sure yet... Might just see what she looks like with the full SS bar then ...

I just can't get the bloody wheel off ... I tried harsh pulling, gentle pulling, giving a slight tap with a mallet ... But no good ... I even got my neighbour to help, and see if he could pull it off (thinking I was a little weak) and he could not even make it budge... I am thinking I may just get a wheel puller and see how it goes... Might get the new wheel re-trimmed first then ...

door trim looks like a berlina, but the material on the seats look like an s pac. no idea what it is

I thought it was the S pack, but on the dash it only has the plain commodore badge. Doesn't the S have CommodoreS on the dash ???

Thanks mate.. Yeah as above... Does yours say Commodore on the dash or does it say CommodoreS ...

hmm interesting. if you really are desperate, just go to supercheap and get one of those steering wheel pullers. i managed to get my wheel off without one though, just took a bit of work.

Yeah, am going to try that one.. Just gotta clear up some time.. Have been working on my other project over the last couple of weekends...

Yeah, I know... There is the square clip holding them in place, that is like a couple of cm's square... It is hammered straight through the front bar, and if I take it off it is going to look just as silly with 2 wholes there ... (The lights were on the car when I bought it) ...

I am looking at doing some rust repair, and when done will take them out, fill it, and spray it also ... Just gotta save up the cash again tho ...

The Deck I give :thumbsup: :thumbsup: +.5 - The only thing I don't like about the dec is the EQ. It is not as good as what my older deck is in my Sonata.. I am glad I kept that deck ..

Starting to do a little matainance...

Replaced both wipers and blades, as the owner before me decided that cable ties and electrical tape are a good way to hold in the wiper blades.. And they were pretty crappy quality, so I replaced them on the weekend...

I also have bought and will continue to install the following: -

K&N Ram Pod

CAI

Bosch ignition leads

NGK Iridium Plugs

Then come an oil change, and just some other little things to make sure the car is in top shape.. Not quite sure of its service history, so will start with this ...
