    hey everyone. i bought this recently, it is/was a original condition low km 95 vs wagon. picked it up for $3500 which im pretty happy with. so far ive put the headunit in, lowered it, debadged it, put on berlina tail lights and had the rear garnish, front and rear bars painted...for free . the plan for it at this stage goes as follows: (although ive got some financial issues at the moment so might not get off the ground for a while)
    -5 speed conversion, unsure whether ill go t5 or getrag...had a t5, no complaints...
    -full exhaust with high flow cat
    -3.7s or 3.9s, LSD
    -cold air
    -69mm throttle body
    -mace stage 2 cam
    -maybe ported heads
    -mace 12mm plenum space... has anyone used these?...
    -injectors, leads, plugs etc
    -shave rear wiper and squirter
    -tint windows, maybe berlina chrome moulds, audio all that.

    here are some pics of when i first got it, ill get some of what it looks like now as soon as i can.

    yeahhh looks alright.
    shouldve done the fogs when you got the bumpers resprayed.
    keep an eye out for the berlina chrome surrounds, and the strip that goes along the tailgate as well.

    in regards to the doors, they have several screws spaced along the strips that remove without hassle.
    for the luggage compartment/ rearward windows however it would probably be easier to remove both side windows from a Berlina wagon.
    the glass is held in the same fashion as per the sedans rear quarter windows the grey plastic trim needs to be removed, under that there are plastic nuts that secure the glass and exterior rubber moldings. the chrome strips clip into these i believe.
    id do that then itd be a good importunity to re seal the rear side windows then get the whole lot tinted.
