**adstarr** · 06-05-2009, 12:48 PM

Hey guys
i am in the process of up grading my old stock vt executive to a vx ss custom weapon!
It is currently in the panel shop, see attached photos.
Current upgrades include:

Full vx ss body kit - less the rear spoiler, of course!
Ss lights & foggies
full respray (phantom black) say goodbye to sorry ass tungsten!!
Custom vz fluted guards
calais chrome door & window moulds
depo led tail lights
3 window speedo cluster (vdo red)
factory power window conversion
factory cruise control installed

plans to upgrade brakes, suspension and motor when body works completed, thinking 6l conversion at this stage...will keep you posted!!

Later :d

hope you deal drugs or have some HUGE CASH handy cause that 6L conversion aint a cheap one.
hahah good luck bud looks like a project in the making

I hate to see the final bill for all these mods..

**adstarr** · 06-05-2009, 11:37 PM

Here are some photos from yesterday, major body work complete!!

Car is being resprayed tonight!!!

I will take photos tomorrow and post shortly!!

**adstarr** · 17-05-2009, 12:16 PM

After 8 long weeks....my car has finally returned home from the panel shop!!

These are just some quick snaps I took, but will update better photos soon..

Next on the list is suspension...as it is soo high it looks like a 4WD!

Any suggestions??? Im thinking King Super Lows with GT Munroe Lowered Sport Shocks??? I have two kids so I still want the car to be practical, how low are the super lows??? Will I be scaping the front on every driveway and bottoming out on the humps at Maccas???Any advice much appreciated!!

**vt s** · 17-05-2009, 01:24 PM

Wow nice turn out there bud.
NOw just gota bring it down a bit and should look awesome.
Hey quick question those the 18in VE you got or 17? And atm what susp you have just standard o9r fe2?

**Ozzie** · 17-05-2009, 01:28 PM

As for the SS stickers on an executive, I think you went a bit overboard there.

**Astranomical** · 17-05-2009, 03:35 PM

Mmm...not a great fan of the SS badges either, but if he does end up putting the 6L in it as he said...then its alright. Either way...nice work! I think the numberplate sums up that paintjob...."WOW".

**adstarr** · 17-05-2009, 05:55 PM

They are 18" VE SS Rims with bog stock suspension.

Don't worry lads those SS badges will not be out of place on this car!!...that I will guarantee you....watch this space!!

**Johnny_VX** · 18-05-2009, 02:07 PM

Good work mate, looks sweet.

**rch-13z** · 30-05-2009, 02:12 PM

Excellent job on the paintjob mate, but as mentioned above I am not a fan off the SS badges either... Think that if it's not an SS so I wouldn't badge that way!

Nice work though!

O yeah & Tungsten can be quite a nice colour, my mates car below is a nice example...

**fatius** · 30-05-2009, 06:42 PM

thats tundra mica mate, this is tungsten

**rch-13z** · 02-06-2009, 03:36 PM

my bad, tungsten still pritty nice!

**kjm-ls2** · 04-06-2009, 12:37 PM

nice mate deff go 6L i just converted from v6 auto to 6l man with maffless tune got 276.6rwkw its the way to go just not cheap but deff good

good work

**saundyvx** · 02-07-2009, 05:54 PM

My VX has Peddars Super Lows front and rear, i couldn't tell you what shocks but they picked the right ones. I think it's perfect height personally, Handleing is AWSOME. It does scrape though you have to idle over speed humps and drive ways but i reckon it's worth it. Definantly get a chamber kit installed at the same time as your chambre will be buggered

**Natstar** · 16-08-2009, 07:55 PM

so how much does a v6-6l conversion cost?
