hey this is my VP S2 executive, got it about a year ago for $1500. it had 169,XXX ks on the clock with a full sevice history and was owned by some oldies. had a few little problems, the paint was faded here and there and the front shocks were finished, other than that perfect pick up for a first car.

MODEL: 1993 S2 VP EXECUTIVE

BODYKIT: Stock
ENGINE TYPE: 3.8 Buick V6
ENGINE MODS: Bellmouth removed
POWER: Stock
GEAR BOX: Auto

INTERIOR: centre console smoothed and painted with 2 guages moulded in, stage 2 instument cluster and have begun to color code it all Cream

BUILD PERIOD: 12 months so far (ongoing)

FUTURE MODS: full respray in black by the end of the year, 355 Stroker, finshing off the interior, king springs Super Lows or Ultra Lows, thinking either VR clubby rims or SV99's. and then once all thats done ill start thinking about some audio gear

go the stockies. paint looks in good nick mate.

definetly need new garnish and lights

[VP Cruiser]

yea the paint looks good in the photos but theres fading on all the usual parts, but its not really all that bad. and yea new tail lights and garnish are another thing that i gotta do

[STEALTHY™]

The colour is called Marine Aqua incase you were wondering. (quite a shit name too)

[Dum*P*ster]

Looks nice dude! Never seen the garnish there before

did it make much difference with the bell mouth removed? Was thinkin of doin it to mine.

yea man makes a good difference to the throttle response and seems to pick up quicker, but not really any more power. worth the 30 minutes it take tho, in my mind any way.

kooo, centre dash u got any more pics of that?

yea i got a few more, they rnt all that good coz i took them with my phone but it gives ya a bit of an idea.

here its pretty much done im just doin some stuff to the gear shifter


just after id finished painting it




while i was in the process of painting it




and this was one from when i was shaping it with body filler

Your Vp looks hell good. Love wat you done with the center consol. Stockies are tuff as

[VP Cruiser]

ok its been a while since i hav done anything to the VP, mainly coz ive been savin for a second car for when the VP is getting the respray in a month or 2. but did get a set of leather statesman seats the other day, they r in need of a retrim (which i was planning on doing anyway). looks better than the stock ones and are about 10 times more comfy. anyways will get some picks up soon
