My 89 VN - Lots of Pics -

[89vncommy]

OK, well I have put some pics up previously in the VN section, but as the project is growing, I figure I may as well start my own thread and update as things change.. Anyway here is the info.

1989 VN Commodore - Not sure what it is (Exec, S, Berlina), but it has full power options, and states it is a limited edition V6.

Engine - Stock
Suspension - Slightly lowered but other then springs - Stock
Body - I think it is the SS kit
Wheels - 18" Rodney Jane Racing Wheels with pretty average tires.

Exterior pics





Some of my old favorite pics



Interior
My white face air con gauges




Just bought this VN HSV Steering wheel.. It is the one I am having problems getting put on tho ...



I am pretty sure you all know what stock interior looks like, so I will spare you those photo's. I am always up for suggestions, so feel free to let me know of what else I can do to this thing. I think the next project is rust repair tho...

Stereo:

1xCerwin Vega 12" Sub
1xCerwin Vega 6" Splits
1xCerwin Vega 6x9's
2xCerwin Vega amps - Not sure of the model at the moment tho
Powered by the Pioneer DEH-P8650

So here are a couple of pics .. The commy doesn't have split seats so you gotta forgive me for the limited viewing...




The bits of orange/red that you see are lights on top of the amp... This would look really cool if the seats folded...






The tweater is hidden in the stock speaker pods in the dash. Not much point in taking a pic of them...

Same as the 6x9's... But may take some pics over the weekend

And the deck





Overall sound is pretty good.. Not as loud or as good as the Sonata, but at a fraction of the cost it does the job...

I will try to get some better pics tho.. These were just done in a hurry so I could show what has been done to the car in the past week ...

Nice VN man, looks like a Berlina with that door trim

That is an SS kit as well, looks good, subtle and classy

VN Power!

Thanks for the comments guys .. I want to get some newer pic's as all the others are when I had the stockies on it ...

I forgot to mention, but not sure how to confirm it ... The pervious owner advised me that the car had VN SS brakes... So yeah, not sure if that is true or not..

I might have to start searching on ebay for it then ... I was thinking of getting the group A kit ... But not sure yet... Might just see what she looks like with the full SS bar then ...

I just can't get the bloody wheel off ... I tried harsh pulling, gentle pulling, giving a slight tap with a mallet ... But no good ... I even got my neighbour to help, and see if he could pull it off (thinking I was a little weak) and he could not even make it budge... I am thinking I may just get a wheel puller and see how it goes... Might get the new wheel re-trimmed first then ...

I thought it was the S pack, but on the dash it only has the plain commodore badge. Doesn't the S have CommodoreS on the dash ???

Thanks mate.. Yeah as above... Does yours say Commodore on the dash or does it say CommodoreS ...
