Hey I thought I'd show you all what I've done so far. It's a slow process but almost ready for rego.
Name: Kirby
Model: 1996 Vs Exec Wagon
Colour: Panther Mica
K's: 189, 000. Genuine kms.
Engine Type: 5.0 litre
Engine Mods: Extractors. Pretty stock ATM.
Other Mods: genuine Vs ss front bar, colour coded mirrors.
Exhaust: stock.
Transmission: factory t5 manual
Suspension: pedders suspension, unsure of springs
Wheels/Tyres: 19" Ve Supersports
Interior: Standard for now. But I have already bought leather seat covers from ultimate auto trim. Black with red stitching. As soon as it's registered they will be professionally installed.
Stereo: just put a deposit on 9" DVD headrests and a single din clarion DVD head unit with Bluetooth and full iPod capability.
Future Mods: Seems like there is still so much I want to do...
The idea I that I'm halfway through transforming this into a Vs Ss Wagon.
So far I've got the front bar sorted, ss transfers ready to go on, ss dash badge on. Didnt go ss interior as all the foams are worn on the ones available because they are so old now. I will be getting ss patches made and sewn into the leather seats for the authentic look.
Next is to locate a rear bar, have it painted and get a set of stateo side skirts as they Are the closest I can get to Vs ss side skirts for a wagon.
After rego, 15% tint, twin 2.5" exhaust with remote so I can choose how Loud or soft. Finish off the audio with a sub, amp and good speakers. Here are some photos of my progress:
When I first got it home. Clubsport front, rear and sides and horrible rims. Looks good, but wasn't what I was going for.
Also when I first got it home.
looks good mate, need more pics so i can see the rest of it.
Hey cheers mate. Yeah I'll upload a couple more...
This is just before I took the Clubsport sides off. Other than that it's how it sits now...
Oh and the rear quarter panel, my mother in law backed into it. But will be fixed soon. Any suggestions you guys have, I'm open to it![]()
Interior is as is ATM. But will all be revamped soon! The sticker above the head unit also gone now.
Looks heaps better with the supersports![]()

Hey thanks, was going to go with black vy sigs but so glad I picked supersports.
Need some help.. Ive got 4 kiddies so this needs to be functional also. I have a fold up seat in the boot (similar to a 4 wheel drive seat) and a pram. So I have limited space but want a small sound system. Amp and sub perhaps or amp and good Bassy speaking. Any one got any ideas??
Have a look at Bass Tubes instead of the usual sub box set up. Might take up a little less space.
Here is a list of some to get an idea :-
A mate of mine had a Bazooka Bass Tube in the back of a Series 1 RX7 back in the day. It was good due to the space restriction in those cars and sounded pretty good too.
BTW...liking the Super Sports !
