looks fantastic mate, sleeper much?!

how does she ride with the SSLs in the rear?

[nathan88]

yeh its not too bad when its only me and a passenger but if theres someone in the back tends to rub on the bumper a bit when over small bumps and when giving it a bit. will eventually b getting bags all round when funds allow me to.

[DARK SIDE]

looks sweet mate, nice conversion

[nathan88]

UPDATE: car has been at paint shop for just over a week now, was planning on putting the turbos on first but had someone throw a couple of rocks and bottles at the car the other nite. smashed the windscreen and dented bonnet. heres a progress pic, will hav more up once i get it back next week.

omg that thing will fly!!! LOVE IT

[nathan88]

Car is back from the painters. Its been fully resprayed except for the roof, had a v2 monaro front bumper, vx ss side skirts, vx ss rear bumper (with reflectors and towball removed), vt senator spoiler, side stripes removed and front badge painted body colour.

**** yeh, how much was the engine transplant? cant wait till the turbos go on and see what she pulls, you reckon the auto will cope?

[nathan88]

engine and everything else ended up costing about $15K. hopefully the auto will cope with it, its had a billet servo installed and stage 2 shift kit.
