Todd's new project ( on road )

[NFNSUS]

Heres a few pics of the beast

253 Auto. Sluggish as hell, apart from the shiftkit jolt

( yes yes yes, i dont like the stone guards either. ) and its not me in the picture by the way. im uh.. slightly younger ha


Thought id throw a random picture of my friends VK. No, those aint rear cut springs. just a fair bit of weight in the rear end.

Shaun ( vk owner ) and i both bought project cars around the same time. VK and VC yet both those cars were duds, so we now bought these. VK and VH SL/X

Shauns vk is currently a 202 auto, although it'll be a V6 5speed within a week or two.

We're both really into cars, and both plan a future involving them. We may be young and ..unknowledgeable but we're learning along the way!

Just a lil update..

Rather then my faded tail lights.. i thought i'd paint up some SLE style tail lights.


Bought some VY SS 18's the other day ($550 with BRAND new yokohama tyres. score or what?) and then spent the rest of my paycheck on a little chrome


I'll get a new ride height within the next week or two, so ill upload some 'stylish?' pictures then.

[Jonno]

Sounds/looks good mate. I like those rims on older cars.
What are ur plans for the 253?

What are ur plans for the 253?

Closest bin i can find

My new job kicks in soon, so first decent pay and a 308 will be straight in. And with the 308, ill be following the '308 Path To Power' Thread.

My goal is to keep up with/beat a VX SS.

[Jonno]

Super charger
Sounds good

[NFNSUS]

Super charger

Been thinking about it, but i also want to run this car as a daily.

[NFNSUS]

so, the saving begins.

Just a little wish list;

LS1 or a 308 stroked to 355
Simmons
VT Front seats
Respray ( as below )

[Aussie Revhead]

looking good mate

rims look like a bargain any curb damage?

Theres a little rash, but i'm still happy with them considering the price i paid for them. Thinking about a white respray? as below.






Update;

Kingsprings go in monday, gonna be ridin' low. Pretty much the ride height of the photo above ^. Rear will be sitting just above the rim, Front JUST tyre height.




Now.. the bad news. Thought i'd come out front and show the ugly side of my car





But.. there is a solution. Thinking of a cheap closed door respray like this;


This way i can get rid of that ugly paint, while i save for my dream paint job.





Once again, Thankyou KarCreations.




Explaining the background of my shed lol;

Number plates=

SPH.210; My VC commodore - Car i joined this forum with.

The VC today;


S156.AIZ= My TE Gemini ( Note, the picture is AFTER i sold it. )

The TE today;


S611.ADA= My VR Commodore ( Turned out to have a cracked chassis. So, thrashed the #### outta it. )


And the VN in the background is my little brothers VN Berlina, with a pitjob defect. Complete idiot for buying it. But i must admit, i had fun blowing up the trans.

[NFNSUS]

New springs are in!

And let my mate Joel Famiglietti ( Ford Driver ) go wild with pictures;

Update;

Plates Ordered. (NFNSUS)

No idea when they'll arrive but pictures will be uploaded as soon as they do!

My Carpet arrived yesterday after A LOT of screwing around with delivery.

Postage seemed pretty shitty, sticky tape and a garbage bag. Although product looks well.
Thank you TruFit Carpets.

Carpet will go in when I get off my ass and somehow stop my boot from leaking.. ( any tips? )

When the leaks are done. The battery will be transferred to the boot, and then it'll be time for carpet.

[TY318]

hey mate i love the height of it coming together nicely just wondering what springs u have in the front

[NFNSUS]

I grabbed them off eBay, the title was "Ultra low" Yet the part number has "SL" ( Super low )

So I can't give a straight answer. Although look for ultra low king springs on eBay and you should find them easy enough.

I thought I might add, I have Monroe GT gas shocks. I don't know how factory shocks will hold up.

looking good mate good to see a vh come back to life,plates are awesome that was a lucky find!
what commodore boot doesn't leak? haha

[NFNSUS]

Lost my license the other day aha.

72 in a 50 zone. :/

But I'm now on some good behavior bond thing... So I'll be on my P's for another two and a half years, along with driving courses etc. Not to mention my $800 fine.


Worst part is, I can't drive V8's on this agreement! So I'm sending off a form to try and Appel so I can drive my VH. Wish me luck.

[Mad84VK]

good luck? sorry to say bout i dout they will let you... they dont look kindly to speeding drivers anymore. and where you allowed to drive it on your p's... i thought you had to be a fully licensed driver to drive a v8?

[Jarrad.]

Na thats melbourne nsw and queensland rules in N.T S.A and W.A you can drive what ever you want wheni lived in adelaide i could get my ls then 6months late get my ps and that was only three years ago

[NFNSUS]

Yeah, in SA if you had your licence BEFORE that power restriction law came in you could drive a twin turbo big block and that can't do anything..

But now that i officially lost it ( even though it was only a few days ) my licence has been redone therefor i now come under the law.. But if theres a will, theres a way.

[Mad84VK]

Na thats melbourne nsw and queensland rules in N.T S.A and W.A you can drive what ever you want wheni lived in adelaide i could get my ls then 6months late get my ps and that was only three years ago

how can you get your l's then 6 months later you can get your p's... the only way you can do that is if you are over 18 when you go for your p's. even so you still need to do the 120 hrs

[NFNSUS]

Mad, it's SA rules. Well use to be.

L's - 6months
P's - 1year
P2's - 1year

Full license.

I was about a week off my full license. Now I'm knocked back to P's for two and a half years.


But the laws have changed now, gotta have your L's for a year. Not sure about the rest
