2 VS commodores utes 1 manual, 1 auto
!UPDATE!
Over the last month i have been quite busy working on the car and havent had time to make a post. ive completely finished the car apart from a shopping center dent on the passenger rear quarter which was there from when i bought it. ive put in the hours getting it just right making sure that nothing was done dodgy or of poor standard.
updates include
-Steaming carpets to remove the grease and dirt
-replacing glovebox holder as original was damaged
-rewire the sound system and re insert the stereo as the original owner only taped the cables together(major fire hazard!)
-replaced front passanger indicator with a clean water tight one
-replaced washer bottle after my breaker bar slipped and went straight through the bottom of it!
-resealed steering wheel with silicone to stop it from being lose
-wired interior sub and amp combo into the rear behind the passenger seat.
-replaced exhaust which goes to the rear instead of ending under the car.
-replaced the smoked sun damaged indicators with clean stock ones.

Body work is the only thing left which i will leave to the professionals as i want it done right not a full of bog job which ive seen on quite a few cars.
new list of future mods include
-Second sub amp fusion combo
-secondry battery
-new engine cover in blue
-respray white with blue metallic flake (professional job)

2000 VS III V6 ute
Nice clean ute Jezze, how much did you pay for the sports system exhaust. I have been thinking placing a system on my ute, provided it does not sound like an echoing rice burner.

Good thing you asked andreas i actually only payed 5 dollars for the whole system. i was working at the wreckers in victoria and found it in the tray of a vr i was trying to stop my car from getting a defect for having the wrong exhaust as the previous owner just cut the exhaust behind the rear muffler to make it louder. i can put a build thread up on how i built the exhaust as i had to do a build thread for school.

The plans have now been changed due to recent problems. Last night i went out to move the sub and amp under the seat to find it was flooded insurance is going to replace both the sub and carpet due to the damage which has modified my ideas I'm now going to run 2 cp-as 1080 units under each seat i also have an updated list up on the main post which will show new mods!

Tailgate has been one of the parts i wanted to replace since i bought this ute but never got around to it till today. replaced the bumperette as well which was all damaged. also de-badged and in my honest opinion looks a lot cleaner then the lion logo in the dead centre.

Not to sure the stock ute is on a slope so could just look different. the one with the stockies is being restored by myself to mostly stock looking apart from the interior which will get a stereo makeover. i have a build thread for that one below its the 96
