    when i was younger (going back about 10 years) my dream car was always a vr/vs white wagon that lived around the corner. was lowered with i think the 16" ss wheels or maybe the hsv ones, cant exactly remeber. but i always remeber walking past it and saying "im going to own something like that soon". meh, ended up with the vr part right, but just in sedan form lol.

    its still good to see some clean, simple examples driving around, i still wouldnt mind getting one later on.

    ive always liked wagons. i had a hq-hj wagon a few yrs ago, was gonna do it up (stripped it back, fish oiled etc) but ended up having too much rust

    one wagon i always wanted to get and do up was an EH Wagon (they look damn sexy ) if i had unlimited $ i would do one up with an injected 5.0/5.7 plus maybe supercharge it. but until then, i have my vt wagon which i am slowly doing up. gettting rims, lowered, exhaust and window tint (hopefully within the next month) for pics of my wagon visit the link below

    I like the practicality of a wagon.

    Its only basic, but i love it. Wagons rule. Just gotta get that rear end roll out of it. Unfortunatly this is the only pic i got on hand, it has a clubby front on it too that you cant see, vt brakes, i got some clubby wagon side skirts here to go on it to soon aswell, and its a V8 Manual

    And my extractors go on tomorrow (*does little dance*) and foam tune is organised

    ^Haha, cant believe you filled it up with dirt. Did you remove the moulding on the side of it, or was it like that when you got it? If you did, was it hard?

    It was like it when i got it. Looks heaps better i recon, If you do wanna know how to get the mouldings off there is a fairly comprehensive how-to in the howto section somwhere. You'll need a carramel wheel a hairdyer and patience. lol

    And it took about an hour with the vacume to get all the left overs out, it went all down under the back seat, i didnt think real hard that day

    Awesome. Tell me, did your car have the skirts on when you bought it or did you put them on? If you did, how much did they cost you?

    The ones on it came with it, but ill be fitting the new(secondhand) ones i've got very soon. They are clubsport wagon replicas i think. I paid about $90 for them. I dont know what to do with the old ones though, they are a little ordinary and fairly scratched underneath. Ill probably just ebay them with a few other bits and peices i want to get rid of around the house.
