    Default my 5.7l wh stato

    hey all

    here is my v8 wh statesman that i bought last thursday.

    what it has:
    18" wm caprice wheels(came off my vr and now look too small
    remus cat back exhaust(i think its 2.5 inch but i carnt tell)
    i think its lowered but not sure
    tinted windows


    what it will/might have

    4into1 extractors (Loading... let me know what u think of have use them)

    maby bags

    maby my head unit out of my vr depending on if i can figure out if i can use the stacker and steering wheel controls (kinda partial to them atm)

    sub amp and 4 speakers jus cause the audio in it has been thrashed i think( speakers distort easily)

    and bigger wheels once i find a set i like

    i wand to get an otrcai and mafless tune but ill do that once i have the exhaust

    well i should stop rambling and up load some pics





















    i will take a better pic of the side once i wash it agian seeing as its now raining

    any way let me know what u think or if you have any ideas u might have or any wheels u might know of that look good on it

    ps:i aint going chrome

    cheers

    Nice looking stato mate, haven't seen many in that color going around.

    good luck with your future mods.

    good base for work, i personally hate woodgrain though for some reason.

    get some leather seats! i think they'd look mint in there.

    love the colour, like dark side said, you dont see a lot of them around.

    I have the same problem mate, haven't found a cheap solution. you have to buy genuine chrome strips from holden and that costs a shitload. autobarn sell chrome strips but its not the right size so

    thanks ducker.
    yer i need to clean it first and seeing as it keeps raining in melbourne theres not much point in washing it and polishing it then having it rained on a day later once the weather looks like it might hold ill clean it and take some more pics
