    Default My VH SLE 253

    Hey gang, Ive got a VH SLE 253 and Ive had her for about 2 years. She had 130000km on her when i got her and cost me about $3000, now she has 160000 km and they are original Kms as well. The little beauty has Duel Fuel, Been lowered and this week i got extractors and a pioneer sound system fitted. Just wondering if anyone can help me as when i got the stereo fitted the guy that fitted it broke that plastic piece that sits behind the Backrest adjuster(between the seat and the adjustment gear).So im lookin for a replacement part and they dont make them anymore but Price doesnt matter because Autobahn are payin for it. Any help would be much appreciated.

    No mods just lowered and pacemaker extractors. Engine and bay look a bit untidy and when i get time i will clean it up a touch and get some photos. The wheels are stayin on till the tires are almost gone then im gonna go for some 17s , just havent picked which 1s i want yet.

    Nice score !!!

    Forget the old carbied 327 Chev tho... too much hassle needing engineers reports etc with emmisions etc... go for an injected Holden 304 with a Harrop 355 Stroker !!! 220 Kw Factory !!!

    Very nice, got exactly the same coulour, I'll try and get some pics for ya, only difference I got the clear front indicators( of course ) and vt calais internationals. Keep those wheels, I reckon classic is the best. If you do change them, keep them stored, if you do get rid of them, let me know.

    Awesome car, had one exactly the same would have to be one of the best cars ive ever owned, i done the white indicators and 17s and freshend up the 253 guess in the end it went as good as a standard 308 LOL.

    The VH SL/E would be my faverite non HSV model Commodore ever.

    Nice car good luck with it.
