Hey guys, thought I might start a thread about my car as I haven't really posted anything about it on here.
Bought the car 6 years ago as a Family car, not long after my daughter was born. Only thing I done to it back then was a small stereo.

Broke up with her mother and thought "what the hell" and built a sound-off car.

It's a 1992 VP wagon (which is exactly 7 years younger than me to the day, so kinda makes it a little more special :smoking: )
So far, stock engine and trans.
Kings SSL front, SL rear with 10mm upper spring pads
Monroe GT Sports shocks all round
All bushes in the front changed to Nolathane items, VL Sway bar link pins (connect to Lower Control arm), Adjustable Nolathane Strut tops.
Rear has adjustable Panhard bar

Stereo was the main focus of the car. Currently Running 4 Soundstream SPLX-152HX 15's off a VIBE Black Death Bass2 (aka "The Reaper"). Optima D34 under the bonnet, 4 Ultimate UL100 AGM batteries in back (where back seat "should" be). Box itself is 20 cu.ft internal volume tuned to 30hz. By no means does it look pretty (yet) but was made to be loud so kinda don't care.
Here's a pic from last year

Here's how it looks now, have Calais grill now to replace standard one as it had a hole from a rock that came off a truck

Interior, VHT vinyl dyed a while ago, will get it done properly eventually

Cluster is VP level 2. Tacho, temp and fuel gauges and faces replaced with VS items (originally had level 1 cluster). Also resoldered Voltage regulator and Changed lights to LED's. Sorry pic is blurry

And this is the back of the car, all the stereo gear

Amp is VIBE Black Death Bass2 (aka "The Reaper"). Running about 8000W RMS, it is a metre long

Looks like a stolen car that's been dumped. Do your neighbours report it to the cops often?

Surprisingly no, only have a neighbour on one side and the house behind. They all know it's my car anyway, they see me mucking around with it enough

So went to Pick-a-part (local wrecker that lets you go into a massive yard and take parts off the cars yourself) on Saturday, Monday and today. Found a VP Calais in there with EVERYTHING still in it, so now I have a collection of parts for the wagon :beer chug:
Here's a list (and pics):

-VP Calais Level 3 Cluster. No bleeding in the screens

-VP Calais Door trim inserts
-VP Calais Interior light (with Map lights)
-VP Calais rear courtesy lamps (the ones above back doors)
-Interior light switches (or buttons, whatever you want to call them) to replace all of my ones

-VP Calais Height Adjustable seat belts

hey mate wagon looks good. the calais front grill suits it heaps good in that colour too.
that stereo would be crazy.

Thanks mate :)

It was actually BrokWoods idea to get it. I was skeptical at first but once it was on the car I changed my mind

You could say the stereo is a little crazy, I actually have some other pics to put up, damage the stereo has done

If you wanna see more, check out my Youtube channel in my sig :)
