    Talking My Car Finally

    I finally got a digital camera so here's my car. I'm getting 17" mags soon so don't bag me out guys. It's non turbo too. Lowered 35mm with King Springs, Monroe gas shocks, adjustable pan hard rod, strut brace in engine bay, Pacemaker extractors, hi-flow catalytic convertor, a 2 1/2" Lukey system. Cold air intake, K&N Filter. i have a 5 speed in the shed to fit. What else... tinted windows obviously, berlina (GRP A) tailights, LE rear and side skirts with GRP A front bar. LE rear door moulds with calais front door moulds. Plus a Brock grill. I've also got a bobtail wing coming in the mail. The damage to the front bar is courtesy of my missus which i've got booked in to be fixed. Trying to get berlina door trims, and i've got a tacho here to put in too. I'm getting an alarm with remote central locking soon too. Plus saving to hopefully get a respray next year, maybe same colours maybe not. I do like the colour scheme now though. Anyone else got some ideas????

    Thanx buddy. I got the kit cheaper than retail cos i worked in a spare parts shop at the time. About 130 or so for the rear skirt. about 170 or so for BOTH side skirts. 100 odd for the rear door moulds. about 100 for the front door moulds which are second hand from a commodore wrecking yard in newcastle. and the front bar is about 170. Not bad really. The bobtail wing i just got cost me about 100 as well. Plus the cost of all the phone calls sourcing out the parts. The dearest parts were the brand new tailights and centre garnish which cost about 180 off ebay, still cheaper than a shop.

    the yellow one is the alarm but i'm getting a new one. the toggle switch is the aerial but i have a berlina switch now for the aerial so i'm puting a LED switch in its place for the interior neons.

    no. i got it off an old guy on the central coast a couple of years ago. it had the metal rear venitian, side rain guards, bloody bolted on sun visor which left holes that had to be filled and painted. Plus those chrome strips up the door edges and around the wheel arches. Stock as a rock she was. i'm gonna post more pics of the interior when the tacho is in and the custom instrument cluster too. and i'll do a night shot with the interior neons on.
