    Default MY VN in progress

    hey pplz, just thought i would show off my VN, nothing to show really, my car is just different and thats the way i like it ha ha, nothing major done to it, just modifed parcel shelf, custom made front door pods front aero bumper, custom made grill, 15" CSA's lowered 2.5", custom 2.5" exhaust catback, custom mounted gauges, like i said not a lot yet, only got a few interior pics and like i said in the title this car is in progress as well as my daily driver.

    also got a custom VB which is also a project car, but thats another story

    cheers, guys, tell me what you think

    will take some more pics when i get some new batteries

    Why didn't you just cut a hole in the door and mount them in, or put a door pod in

    Wow very different, i deffinantly wouldnt do it but aslong as you like it thats all that matters.

    Good to see your doing it yourself!
    Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.

    yeah, i dont mind it, still just trial and error really, seeing what i like and what i dont, still looking around for a standard VP rear bumper to start messing with, got all the fibreglass ready, just need to find a rear bumper. im thinking of making one simliar to a statesman with the number plate in the bumper, and will be a little lower, trying to make it match the aero front bumper, also going to make a new boot garnish with CUSTOM VN embedded in it, will post some pics when i start.

    Hey nick,

    VN's looking pretty mad, love the roof lining :-D.

    Next time ur in ballarat just let me know or get KP to let me know and we should catch up wouldn't mind seeing ur VN in person.

    Good luck w. the dual exhaust, it'll look awesome, someone also at IBM has that done as well on there VN - however I suspect only on of hte pipes is hooked up due to no exhaust cloud stuff coming out at 1am inthe morning when its cold.

    Cya round mate,

    James

    well got some updated pics of my dash, still not finished, but is almost there, just needs to be covered in material, my custom rear bumper is almost there, jsut a few more layers of glass to go on it and i shall put it on, also the garnish is almost finished as well, and a few underbonnet items are still in the making, this is no fast car or any sort of show car, to me its just a play car and to see what works and what doesnt, well here are the pics, will post finished items later on,

    cheers, nick
