Default VN executives ride.

gday everyone.
just scored my first car for my 18th birthday, a VN executive series 2.
as you'll see its pretty clean, besides a small scratch where the car was previously hit in a carpark or something similar.

originally was owned by an old bloke, which explains the hubcaps and with about 280 thousand K's.

at the moment, its still getting ready for roadworthy, but so far all its needed is a driver side door seal, some bushes for the steering arms and a high pressure hose for the power steering.

eventually, when i get a job, it will be lowered with a decent set of rims and an exhaust system. i've already got a sony headunit for it and plan to get some good quality speakers, no sub for the time being.

here are some photo's. (excuse some of them as a tad blurry as they were taken on a camera phone). doesnt come up too bad with a wax too

EDIT (24/2/07)

took some more pictures, better quality and actually outside of a shed!!

i have no idea how to edit or attach more thumbnails so if someone can let me know it would be good. for now it just has to be actual images on the screen so sorry if this lags!





inside car -





this is where i decided to stick the amp, did all the carpetting etc myself. i think it come up alright :P



and here is the only damage on the car, previous owners fault.



EDIT (11/3)

new pictures! got some night time pics tonight.

i like this pic.. dunno why.. can hardly see the car but ehh..



some more..

Lucky bugger getting a VN for your 18th. Such a good car. After you fix the same problems most people have with the VN's they are a great mode of transport. Onya mate and enjoy.
