Paid $2000 for her. Km's: 237180

Mods: Nothing really. Just repainted interior and added some audio

In the process of taking those black stripes off the side and painting the black lines on the front and back of car to make em white.

Exhaust, CAI and wheel balance are next things to be done. (Feels unstable at 100kph)

V6. Does the job. Beautiful smooth car. Have never regretted buying her. Great learning car too :)

Front stripes peeled off.

Future mods include a CAI, Exhaust and Memcal of darkstar I think his name is.

Update

Well.. it's been a while since I updated this so thought I should.

Just cleaned up the car and got some covers for it.

Don't mind the hand-held vacuum cleaner by the way.

I now have my P plates so that's a bonus :)

Comments welcome. Good or bad :)

Just didn't like it anymore I suppose...

Looked good at first but made it look cheap and with the stock interior it kept it looking stock (if that makes sense)... basically.. I don't like overkill rides..

But it's each to their own. A wrecker guy I was talking to gets alot of VS commodores and other models with painted dash's... all owned by P platers or under 21's haha.

But yeah.. Looked good at first... but in the end just didn't suit me.
