nice project, maybe a re-spray as well, a different color?

[anarklov3r]

yer shes gonna get resprayed, but was seriously thinking of keeping her white. Unless somebody shows me a pic of another color that looks sexy enough to warrant a color change.

Mate definetly a good project car for that price, as long as it hasn't been thrashed! You say it drives like a dream so it must be ok.
As for the colour, it's totally up to you but it's always cheaper to respray the original colour.
Good luck with it.

nothing wrong with white at all. I lowered mine with some steel coloured rims not chrome and got limosine window tint doesn't look like the family commodore

[anarklov3r]

Thanks guys. My plans are to find a pair of SS front+rear bars, and SS side skirts and pop them on (or just skirts all around, so if you know somebody let me know!!!!)

Ive very easily found brand new aftermarket VX SS front bars for $130, but for the life of me cant find side skirts or rear bars? Makes no sense to me..... Any ideas where i could find some? Ive ebay searched till my fingers bleed.

update your pics man, i think everyone needs to see the spray job

did you ever get around to cleaning your plenum? how'd you go?

[anarklov3r]

I cleaned the top half of it properly. Carby cleaner just didnt cut it... neither did degreaser, so i used paint thinner. just totally DEMOLISHED that crap on there. After that i degreased it to remove all the thinner so my engine doesnt catch fire! hahaha

[ruggj]

aw no fun lol. ah well, your probably gonna have to clean it again before you clean the bottom.

[anarklov3r]

bump! some before after shots in original post. (no new tyres on that though, will get pics up ASAP!)

[anarklov3r]

Update. pic with rims on the car. Pretty much ready to get Rego'd
