    I didnt have a choice on the seat covers. Got them for free so thought I'd put them on for now to save the seats. But you're right, they dont suite at all! I'll be changing them later because its not first priority. Do you need to change shocks when using SL springs?

    Don't need to but it will still be a very boaty ride, if you put short shocks in down the track it will be nice and stiff and handle heaps better but, na you don't need to, too just chance the springs

    Good job with the wagon mate, looks nice. Those rims were a good buy, look great. Once you get those low springs on it'll be one nice wagon =).

    Its always good to hear some positive feedback *cough* unlike some... not mentioning anyone... HAZZA-VN Thanks mate. Got heaps planned for the wagon. Most of what Ive spent is on the engine so I havent yet got to making it look nice

    Nice mate, very clean, looks neat. Sounds like a bargain. And those wheels suit it too.
    Gonna look heaps better lowered.

    Only thing I absoloutely HATE is those seat covers, they are disgusting! lol, there are plenty of cheap ones around which will look better. You could always go grey sheepskin, saw some for 39 bucks at supercheap the otha day.

    Just put a chrome pinstripe on the car today. Reckon it looks heaps better than the original red stripe. Was really hard to get pictures of though because the camera wouldnt pick it up very well. These are the best pics I could get. Will try get some more during the day

    haha well at least Im riding comfortably for now Nah I like the stripe how it is. Dont want it to be too obvious or over the top. Its hard to see it on the camera but it looks good if you see it for real.

    Did some colour coding on the wagon. Painted the lower parts of the bumpers, the rear tailgate handle as well as the skirts, which were all originally black

    Haha I totally recognise the steps up to the lookout at Tannum beach in those photos.

    VN looks really clean man, haven't seen this in person, though I'm not in BI/TS very often.
