picked up my car thisarvo, found a few things wrong with it

-heater, air con dosent work (ny know logical reason why that would be?)
-all the lights for all the foot wells are missing, but the sockets work, just need globes
- loose exhaust bracket or heat shield (making a ratteling noise from under my bum)
- the car at its lowest point is 110mm high (lowest legal ride hight)


other than that, good all round car, sounds awsome, nice tint, back seats have heaps of room as they sink back more than normal vn's (will gets more pix soon)

dude, nice car. my brother has the same car and geez is the interior cumfy... and the vq's have the nicest rear seats, the sort of semi buckets. you should put a full caprice centre console in there, it is full velour, that really pimps out the car. nice car mate and holy sh** you got it cheap... how many km's does it have??

360,000 on the clock, but its a new dash outta another car, iv got the rta slips stating its only had 220,000 2 months ago, befor the dash was changed. i might need to changes the center consol, as the clips look to be rooted, so i might just look round for the caprice parts. the rear seats sink further into the boot space than a regular vn does, gives its a **** load more room, and soooo much more comfey

heres some new pixs, enjoy

p.s. it may not look that low but its acctually only 110mm off the deck at about 5-6 differant points along the chassis and exhaust :)

Thats a heaps nice stato, i always wanted one, but got the HSV instead. They do have a heap more room in the back seat, good for a few things, rather tall friends is one:whistling

Doesnt look as low as you say it is, but looks can be decieving. Nice buy mate, take care of it and it will last a lifetime, almost
