My 97 Series II VS

[Vg-ute-mad]

My $2990 bargain with low K's. I miss my ute, but I like this!

[ParkwayDrv]

not bad mate!, if you dont mind me asking what happened to the ute? you did some mad painting on that eh?

[Vg-ute-mad]

Thanks mate!

Yeah I had to get rid of the ute as I needed a family car. I miss the ute though. But with this vs, it's a nice blank canvas for a sleeper. I'm going to do subtle mods ftw! In the boot, I'm going for wild with subs, and inside the car, it will be stealth.

Nice car dude. Nice and clean, got lots of potential.

[dbarnes]

looks like its in good nick, bargain for 3 grand

[Vg-ute-mad]

Thanks guys!

Oh yeah, it's a real bargain! It's a pleasure to drive.

[SHANBANGER]

Nice car mate! btw snap! Click here and you will see why lol.

Bargain mate awesome for $3K. I paid $4600 for mine with 10,000 more km on it. Ill be keeping an eye on this to see how the mods go. Love the colour

[SHANBANGER]

any mods yet?

[Vg-ute-mad]

I sure do.... I installed some front Fusion reactor splits, last weekend. And this weekend, I'm installing an amp and a 12" sub. It's nothing special, it's one of those MTX subs in a suited MTX enclosure. And once I get a job, I'll design and install a false wall around the enclosure, with interior matched carpet trim.

I'll take some pics along the way though!

Thanks mate! I'm still happy with it, and I'll be keeping this one for a very long time!

Here is an update....

I made some door pods to suit some 6.5" mids.....




I also made a sub box as well, to house an old but brand new F-12 Fusion sub

[SHANBANGER]

looks good mate, good job on the door pods

[Vg-ute-mad]

Thanks mate!

I'm very happy with the results! As a matter of fact, I won a SQ comp with the set up, last friday night.

[Vg-ute-mad]

the colour looks silver to me but it might just be the lighting/camera. can we have a confirmation on the exact colour?

I'm about to tint the windows next week, when the film arrives. I was thinking about getting a set of steel rims (chasers) and respraying them in the same colour as the car, and putting crome trim rings on them. I might also do some light air brushed crome flames to the rims as well. But I won't respray this one, as I light the colour as is.

Yep it is the same colour as sweefu's

It one of those non pearl colours that makes it look silver in the shade, and green in the sun...

G'day guys,

it's been since an update, due to waiting on sponsership with Fusion. Well, Fusion has now come to the party, and it's all systems go!!!!

Disregard the image above, as there has been a change of plans....

I'm no longer going with the lime green theme, or for two subs. I'm going to be sticking with the one sub, and the boot is going to be grey carpeted. The design will be similar though.

Here are some pics of my enclosure that I have built so far.

First coat with resin on the outside, and resin and fibreglass in the inside.





Now this is what I call sealed!!!!



Next is to sand the material down to get it flush for the carpet.


My goodies arrived from fusion last week, and it's like being a kid, at christmas time lol.

Here is a trial fit with the sub and enclosure, after being carpeted.





Trial fit with the enclosure




The start of the false floor



Making a Fusion sign with plexiglass



First coat of spray paint.



Second coat.



Three coats in total for the final finish. More pics will be updated soon!

Thanks for looking guys!
