[Goon]

Looks alright mate, good luck with any future jobs you do..

Look after her and she will look after you

[1991_Vn2nV]

What sort of springs does it have in it? Looks like just the rear springs have been changed?

[Lumps of cheese]

Looks like it has no springs in the back! LOL
Good luck with it mate.

[white vn ss]

yea i agree with juzsvy. there are definately no springs in the rear of that car. what my old vh looked like when i took the springs out.

[phat_com]

Theres springs, There stock springs with 3 coils chopped off (it sits about an inch lower but there was bricks under the rear jack points lol)
i'm looking into getting some 35mm fronts and 60mm rear springs off ebay soon.(35mm & 60mm lowered springs)

[NOT.BT1]

looks alright mate its cleaner then my car but you should get the vh out of impound they are better imo

[hodgy]

Looks like a good first car mate but I think the holden sticker needs to come off, we all know what it is.

[phat_com]

Naa i love those stickers. It gives it a "v8 supercar" look, sort of

[Wrayza]

Looks like a pretty neat VK mate from the pics. As long as the body is in good nick you can go very far with it!

[phat_com]

yes there only a few light dents on the drivers door and one in front of the fuel filler thats a very strange dent, Its like some one has hammered a bike axle of something into the panel (5c big and goes in about 1 cm) other than that is perfect! no rust and pretty straight for a 21 year old car
Your vk looks pretty sweet from the pic

Max power: 136kW
Performance, Standing Start: 0-100km/h: 7.5 seconds

Those figures are close to the 5 litre VK not the 202ci

[phat_com]

I don't know how true those new specs are because they were written on a piece of paper with heads of different question type things. I should be getting an amp to run my sub some time and a new steering wheel (old one has no horn thing (round plastic thing you connect the wires to ) and Hopefully a Brock Group A grill

[phat_com]

A bit Of an update
I have started my boot install, and i have fitted my brock grill (HDT) and i now need to paint it because its red! I need to fit my horn button and fit my rear springs. I have also found another vk calais wheel with good tred so now my car should be roadworthy if i can use 2 different wheels? (2 15" 5 spokers and 2 15" calais wheels? all have 205/65/R15)
Pics are coming!

[phat_com]

:UPDATE:

Ok i went shopping and bought a pair of pedders sports ryder rear spings and i went to the wreckers and picked up a horn button and steering wheel (i couldn't just buy the horn button) and horn loom and rubber spring thingo's (rubbers things spring sit on) and a new green glovebox

i also got a set of sony 6X9's and alpine type S 6.5" coax speakers and audioline 4ch am[ for helping my mate with his car (amp is not going to be used)

pics coming, should be up on tuesday arvo
