Thats Kinda wird i did almost exsactly the same thing as you i broght a Vn For about 2000 and im giving my self a year 2 do it up
My VN Commodore
its a nice car to drive i just gotta finsh paying my parents off then im ganna do it up

[90VN55]

i finally paid my parents back so now i can start to do some shit to me car.
i need to save for registration cause its due in 2 months get my L's in 3 months and P's at the end of the year.
first off i need to do general maintance on it

change oil
tranny oil
needs a new o2 sensor
flush the radiator and block

at the moment im building a custom box for my subs, amp and 6 x 9's.
which aint easy doin it by urself.(damn brother helped him with his car but dont get any help with mine )
im using 9mm ply which was a bad idea cause it bows real bad so i have to reinforce it.
i will put pics up wen im finished.

check out my cardomain page its got all the pics. link in sig

If youre gonna use ply, try and get marine ply. Basically waterproof and sh#tproof.
Nice lookin ride for a project. At least you got something worth starting with. If i was gonna do mine up, the first thing would be to have the whole thing stripped and the rust fixed and a complete sanding back and respray! $$$ i dont have...

Nice ride bloke, I am working on my wagon, I will add pics when I am finished playing, changing it from a 91 lexcen to a real car. Bought a full bodykit (might be a HSV, not sure), second hand but in a good shape. Has stainless extractors, straight through cat, 2 1/2 system. What I wanna do to it is a whole different story. Posting pics when I have done it.

the 1 problem with that is i already have the ply and im half finished. i should have used MDF. im just gunna have to reinforce it a bit so the weight of the subs dont bow it real bad.

everything is stock
except head unit, amp, subs

i also painted the interceptor rims silver instead of the crappy black.

it cost me $2000 so i still owe my parents $600.

tell me wat u think.

that it goes like a beast

what kind of rims do u have?

[90VN55]

i finally finished the damn box its a bit rough but it looks better than the black ones. The paint i used was engine enamel, i didnt realise until i nearly finished but it looks good.
i put a pipe through the back into where the amp is so the wires could get through and so enough air could get through.
i put the fuse in the fuse box so it cant be seen(make it look better)
here are some pics.
p.s i didnt paint the back cause u wouldnt see it anyway

[90VN55]

that it goes like a beast

[90VN55]

hey man if your gonna paint your interior..it would be probably be a good idea to get a new steering wheel...up to you though...its better than the big bus one and makes the interior look 4000 times better..
