Red VX Executive - VZ Monaro Front end project

[pepstar87]

Yeah it is the whole front end conversion with all genuine monaro parts.

[Delish-VY]

looks very nice....but i notice you"ve only shown pics of the front end ...and nothing else once uve finished...im curious as to how this looks with the rest of the car...cos i have a feeling its gunna need some more work on the bodykit for it to look the part

[pepstar87]

It's not finished yet
side skirts are painted red to match front bar and waiting on VT rear bar to be painted so it matches all round
then paint the door moulds and it all suits

[MR_VX]

i think the mags from your VYSS ute would look f*ckin wicked on this mate!
yea keep & paint the door strips, they save ya from getting dints from wanker at the shopping center, i wanna get some calais chrome ones for my car. cant wait tosee it all done mate

[pepstar87]

Thanks mate
yeah they would look sweet especially in black!
But cash flows a problem at the moment, bout to head down to the police academy soon so won't have cash for a while.. Will most likely get rid of it after I finish down there anyway as I'll want a real monaro or 8 of some sort again.

[MR_VX]

gee you change your mind quickly! i wouldnt mind a real thing as well but building a house takes more then i make lol


by the way if you wanna swap your cv8z tail lights for my standard red monaro tali lights im keen hahahaha.

[pepstar87]

I know it's a bad habit but it's all good!
And I think I'll pass on the tailights for the moment!
Lol , they are the best genuine monaro tailight! You'll hate to know how much I got them for...$140 for the pairbrand new off eBay
very lucky

[painmayte]

looks awesome mate, im saving for a genuine monaro bonnet myself

[pepstar87]

Put the SSSLs in the rear today, love how it sits now
pics on the weekend.
Wish I had 20s now

[pepstar87]

Here it is currently
still without tint and rear bar done though

[skinnaa]

looks good mate, job well done, what else are you going to do?

[WogBoyz]

very nice mate loooks sweet! instead of selling it why dont ya just drop a ls1 in her later down the track?

[pepstar87]

Sorry about the size of the pics, they're straight from my iPhone.
Nothing else probably, i'll probably keep it for a bit longer and get another 8 soon, not worth putting an ls1 in this as I'd have to convert it to manual aswell and get an LSD big job not worth it
would rather get a VZ SS 6.0 sedan in turismo blue, 6spd manual..
Already had an experience with the 5.7 in my vy ss ute, and although it went well, I'd prefer to have a 6.0L or better in my next

[pepstar87]

Haven't done much lately
getting tint done tomorrow in either 15 or 20%
thinking about painting my wheels a dark charcoal colour or satin black, what does everyone think?

[pepstar87]

I just updated the first post with new pics

[LthlThrt]

that looks sweet as, should of colour coded the mirrors though, but that is a top job. nice work

[10WVN]

that thing is mint as, love every bit.. just curious where you bought the kit from? been looking around and no one has the vz monaro kits only the earlier models

[D3CID3R]

Now that is hot :O

[pepstar87]

Thanks guys.

I'll colour code the mirrors eventually

I bought all parts seperately over time off eBay and car forums, check eBay regularly mate, there are always monaro front bars on there.

I've got a plain VT rear bar without the reflectors and tow bar hole at home ready to be sprayed but I ####ed the compressor so it's on the backburner now.

Will be selling this in a couple of months, getting back into an 8! But happy with how this has turned out 'looks' wise.

[pepstar87]

And if your gonna put a kit on your commy, make sure the kits are genuine and not mock up fibreglass shit!

[vuchris]

looks awesome! well done
i think the rims look good as they are

[timmy01.8]

actaully looks like a decent monaro front end conv much better than some of the dodges out there

[pepstar87]

It's cause it's all genuine GM. Wouldn't have even attempted if I couldn't source genuine parts

i feel the same about genuine parts, they all match up perfectly and easier to repair then fibreglass, how did you wire the foglights up? i am doing a conversion on my VT with a VZ front, and i want to wire up the foglights but dont know how.

think i read somewhere the same relay as the lights you want them to come on with aka parkers etc . . or i guess could make up a switch to have them on when ever... anyone care to correct me, like i said read something along those lines somewhere
