    Default My Vs 5ltr

    Im a huge VS fan..ive owned 4 holden VS's..My current car has taken me years to get where it sits now
    I spent a good year searching for a straight, well maintened, non modified vs and eventually found my 96 vs v6 1 owner straight as an arrow with very low k's.
    Im a very fussy owner when it comes to my cars lol.
    I spent another 14months or so searching for a donor car (v8 manual) i eventually found a perfect donor in the bush polite old guy. It was a VS manual drove like new interior was perfect but the outside was hideous heaps of dints scratches.

    After a long time of searching i had my shell and donor car so i headed to my local reputable mechanic and begun the transformation. Engine was overhauled before installation and a nice new crisp h/d clutch..Just before my car was finished for pickup i came across a perfect near new Senator interior..Photos dont do them justice

    1996 Holden Vs
    5.0ltr 5 speed manual
    Things added:
    H/D clutch
    Full VS senator interior seats & Door trims *very rare*
    Monaro bonnet
    Full SS body kit
    VS ss fog lights (omg was it hard to find these beauties)
    Full chrome window surrounds inside and out removed from a calais
    tinted windows
    Pacemakers extractors
    Red back exhaust 2.5"
    15x7 interceptors with center caps an chrome rings
    Compressed lowered springs
    I went through the whole car and replaced everything that looked worn out, faded, ect..
    Have wanted to put some nice rims on it for a while but it might get a little to bumpy for the little one Lol

    Engine photos were taken before the install! Pretty clean for an engine bay that hasnt be cleaned in 2 years

    Looks nice man.

    Maybe take that black strip off the side? I believe it looks a lot cleaner without it on but each to their own.

    How much it cost you for the bonnet mate? I'm looking at getting one myself in the next few weeks.
