not bad for a first car mate, mine was a delapadated vh commodore that had a bigger problem with smoking than i did back then, (but now i regret selling it, woulda made a great project car) i know how it is with the money issues to, i have a list longer than my arm for my cruiser and my ss, but due to dosh (or lack there of) it's all going to be done at a snails pace

best of luck can't wait to see the updates start flowing

[booders9]

yeah its gonna be tough, when ( after i pay all my bills ) i have only 40$ a week going towards the car. haha
So many plans.. so little money.
Thanks.

Yeah it gets like that ay..
Annoying. eBay becomes your best friend hah

[NVMYVT]

get used to it mate, ebay has been my internet porn site for a long time, (ooooooo look at the curves on that clubby kit) :P

shame though, i can still spend more money on there in 5 minutes than i earn in a week, (proved that last week when i brought a twin 2 1/2 cat back system from tuffcarparts (ebay seller) and a new fujifilm digi camera from an international seller (coz it was half the price of buying one here)

[Apex8]

Yeah it gets like that ay..
Annoying. eBay becomes your best friend hah

yeah i reckon, the worst bit is trying to decide how to allocate the cash, i don't know what i should do first (aside from getting it back from the panel beaters obviously) im thinking probably changing the boot and tail lights first

[booders9]

Yeah i dont know whether to lower it first or get an exhaust tip.... Such a massive life decision

[Apex8]

lol yeah life is hard, mine is lowered with a 2.5" catback but thats stuff the previous owner did im yet to do any mods myself

Going well.. Im planning on painting my dash the same colour. But cant take the dash out with a stock head unit.

[Fitzy09]

y not?? i can do it for ya

[booders9]

y not?? i can do it for ya

Not sure. My mate tried it and said that the head unit face is built over the dash or something?



Also planning on doing the VX SS front lights. Painting the inside black some time this week.
Thoughts?

Tonight, did the VX SS headlight mod. Took them apart and sprayed the inside bit black. Will have pictures up hopefully tomorrow.

Pictures of the SS head light mod.





The exterior of the light is almost yellow, so the effect of the SS light doesnt work to well..
Also, looking at buying some of the HIDs lights. ANy advice?

And, also looking at some suede bits for the interior.
