1995 VS Clubsport project "WPN-304"
hi guys been reading every1s posts n thought it was time to start my own.. i bought my first v8 bought 12 months ago as soon as i got off my stupid p's.. was pretty tidy wen i got it big sound system, 20s lowered n the loudest 3inch exhaust with a dump pipe i have ever heard (was rediculas) so pretty much the usual mods. I didnt have massive plans for it wen i got it was just stoked with owning the car that i have always wanted.. Ill chuck sum picks up off wat it was wen i bought it and now haha it still scares me sumtimes lookin at it now its completely stripped down i dont think i could take another thing of it lol.
these are picks from wen i bought it home ill round up all the photos of it being stripped and chuck them up shortly

tyring to upload pics of stripping her down but it keeps saying files r to big any1 no how to reduce there size?? cheers
Subscribed. How come you striped it down looked like a street machine before. But it should look even better. Are you going to take it back to factory spec like new ? cheers.
cheers mate lol my mates all said, i just started doing a few things n just escalated from there u no how it is im shaw=)) keeping the factory look about it but its goin in to Kreative engineering on monday at richmond to get the engine bay smoothed out n all the holes welded and everything.. then straight from there to paint, still havnt decided on a colour im thinkin black with silver pearl over it??? was do people think??? but engine wise definately keeping the sweet old 5l in it known of this LS1 conversion stuff.. haha=) and im about half way through hiding the wiring, moved the relay box to under the dash and battery into the boot...
I would stick to the injected 5.0L and i would keep it the original colour or do it cherry black and the tri spoke not many people like them i do stuff the haters or 19inch fr's The engine bay should look awsome.
i love cherry black one of my favourite colours.. Im thinkin of selling the wheels on it and getting a nice set of genuine holdens wheels maybe petagons off the ve's. yer i cant wait to c the bay day lookin forward to it..
I know someone who might be interested in the wheels how much would you sell them for. I would do it cherry black or white i cant wait too see the end result how long do you think untill its done ?
Cars cost too much.
Looks good mate. How hard is it to re locate the wiring?
Would like to see more!
i definately want to go with sum sort of black im goin to get sum samples of cheery black paint n c how it looks..

this car does look familiar from awhile ago around the streets of Sydney,
make sure you do complete it and not scrap the project, looks like a good one!

aw and sorry forgot to answer um probs about another 18months i hope.. eveything should be painted and interior done by the end of the year hopefully, then next year the engine just want to worry bout i thing at a time.
um hopefully end of next year.. should be all smoothed and painted and interior all done my end of this year then engine next just want to keep to one thing at a time so i get it right the first time haha=)=)... and about the wheels maybe around $1000 the tyres are all still 90 percent i can send pics if ya like???
Looks allright not too bad but I would stick to a holden/hsv colour thats just my oppinion. Any more pics of the colour sample its pretty hard to make out.

Well you're a braver man than me pulling that one down. Looking foward to seeing it come to together.
And remember, it's your car and you will have to live with the paint once it's done. Make sure you choose a colour you like, irrepsective of what everyone else likes or dislikes.
Good luck with the build.
haha=)=) finally work out how to make the pics come up big...
thanks heaps mate n yer i no SO many choices though.. lol
here are sum more picks i rounded up of moving the wiring pretty ruff atm just temporary to make shaw everything works and get the lengths right, then ill remove it again and tape it all up properly!!!
word of advice to people wanting to do this dont be dumb like me and make shaw u remove the front seats b4 u start haha=)=)

Needs an original colour man. Sorry, I'm not a fan of aftermarket colours. Panther Mica or a real gloss black would be much better IMO.

Cherry black, With added red pearl...
