nice pik up mate

[R0d]

cheers guys, its sitting in the carport atm cause it needs a wheel alignmeant, the front wheels are rubbing againts the shockys :S. I wanna put a stereo and exhaust on first before rims or any cosmetics as i wanna get it to move and sound like a v8 should

[R0d]

well wheel alignment was done it was about 7mm out so it drives alot better now, started putting a stereo in, got some kenwood 6/1/2 speakers and putting couple amps to power them and my sub, got a awesome jvc head deck going in which had to be orded but should be in by saturday, anyway took some more pics today

[MUT4NT]

Looks bloody good there champ .I love 6 speed manuals. Good luck with the future mods . will sound awesome !!!

[R0d]

cheers mate interiors mint and drives beautifull, outside needs a few touch ups but im not overly worried as ill fix them later down the track . I always wanted a manual commodore lol expecially after owning a auto v6 a v8 manual was a deffiante

[R0d]

[MUT4NT]

[MUT4NT]

[johnvtls1]

if ur gonna get a cam later dont bother with just a mafless tune now. save ur money and get the cam in, most cam packages include a mafless tune.

ah true thanks mate i havent really looked into cam packages atm mainly just after exhaust first

[R0d]

havent updated this in a while but the stereo has been fully installed, also got some work done by bjorn (not an abba fan) so car now has hm stainless steel extractors and twin 2/1/2 s/s exhaust with high flow cats, so has nice idle not to loud but when giving it a kick it makes some noise haha. Car was just serviced so runs like a dream, so when its due for next serive around dec sometime im hoping to get a cam sorted out but atm im just saving some coin have some more pics but cant find them :S

[R0d]

found some haha

[R0d]

got some more pics from a day cruizing with mates

nice car mate, paint looks pretty good, is it worth the respray?

shes gonna be a nice ride when your mods are done, that for sure.

[johnvtls1]

looks clean as mate.

theres stone chips all over front bumper and bonnet with bit of paint peeling on fender and i figured if im gonna put it in the booth to paint that i might as well paint the rest of the car. Theres only a few pin dents so it wouldnt take much longer to paint, guess im just fussy
