    hey mate.. looks like a nice clean caprice u got there ...

    I think first of all.. she needs a GOOD thorough detail and then perhaps drop her into the weeds a couple of inches... looks like a good base for a respectable VIP holden

    Keep us posted on what u pull outta santas sack aye? hahaha

    Jah, ditch the seat covers, ditch that awful exhaust, drop the car on Superlow springs, get it well detailed (do it yourself, take your time )

    Have some inspiration:

    Should chuck a CAI on there mate, clean ya engine bay down while ur doin it.

    Wish i had a Caprice, interior is nice, i want sum of those woodgrain inserts for mine, but ill make me white hehehe.

    Drop her too, get those spatts tuckin that rim, but then u have sum nice camber like me. if u dont put in the camber kit...

    Nice steering wheel center cover on the caprice's is it slippery, looks just like a bus wheel outta vn's but nicer.

    Maybe santa can get sum cheap mods for it. i wish he would for me, but it not goin to happen


    Morton, that pic of NVASFT is sweet, luv tha bob tail how its been smoothed into it, that was the only thing about those bobtails i didnt like, that one is BEASTIEFULL

    NVASFT is my old car, the bob tail was just a new old stock HSV one, It hadn't been smoothed of its just looks that way in the pic but was a sweet car ( she dont look like that now young people with no driving skill )

    Love it mate. Get some pics of the whole roof lining, and the whole interior looking in from the back door.

    Any plans for new wheels?

    Isn't that Caprice just delicious It had a full VS Caprice interior conversion, electric seats and all, and a 6-speed manual transmission with the proper VS HSV console surround. Freakin' mint.

    Ratty, aren't those NVASFT plates on a red VN now?

    I rekon she definallty needs a good detail, espically the interior. Do it yourself gives you a chance to find those little areas that need some work.
