how it looks now

[50LTRv8]

Looking sweet so far

It depends on what you want as far as future upgrades, I would do a stereo upgrade and a manual conversion and repaint the gray lower bits on the rear bumper. Those wheels look sweet though

[kniever]

yeh nice mate, ive always had a soft spot for wagons, also i reckon go a vx ss front on it, looks heaps better.

[Mick1988]

Nice wags! Definitely looks better where you've painted the bottom mouldings silver. I wouldn't put an SS front on it unless you're going to do a V8 conversion... Makes it look tacky but that's just my opinion.

[lildavo]

yeah i dunno was thinking either do like a cailas theme with that grayish silver colour and get the fog lights. kind of want a clean look to it. or just get a vt ss bumber

manule conversion isnt realy somthing id be looking into the cost and time is pretty big
maybe a vy rear supension conversion if i can find a wreaked wagon
v8 conversion is a possiable thing depending on funds

[lildavo]

ok well only progress on the wagon is im doing the valley cover gaskets while im at we are gunna give it abit of a polish and clean it all out

pics of the progress made


what we at now

[habs420]

[magoo]

its looking good with those rims, i wouldnt worry about manual conversion thats big bucks get some monaro headlights and ss front end and seats for a nice but hugging ride ....! it will look a treat..

[lildavo]

thanks i like them rims, dont wanan go any bigger. i will start doing some more upgrades once the cash gets up, atm just getting it to run nice.

[lildavo]

some more pics we just cleaned up all the parts

throtel body was cacked took over a hour to get it to what it is at now


what we are at now

[lildavo]

ok today i got some chrome grills they need to have the center resprayed black but there allright for only 10 buxs
dunno if i should strip them back cause there chrome under the black paint

[lildavo]

only upsates so far are iv lowered the car back on my ssl rear springs and put my chrome grills i reckon looks alot better, im looking into a vy rear suppension conversion if i can get some more info on someone that has done it on a lowered vt as my camber kit s stuffed and still chosing weather to do my rims that goldish colour or try out matt or gloss black, and thikning either coulor coding the bottom lips or that dark silver coulor cailais have

here are the new pics enjoy

[lildavo]

[lildavo]

well been awhile since iv done anything on the wagon it may be going up for sale soon if i can get this loan to make way for a new car.

Can i just say mate, great looking car, but...
CLEAN IT!!!

[VLC86]

I was thinking as i read through it 'those rims need to be black'

and then BAM, i see the photo. Looks great at that height

[lildavo]

thanks, every one thought nar leave them so i did 2 and all my mates where like oh that's sick. yeah spent 500 dollars in springs to get that height. not doing to much to it may be for sale see if the bank wants to be nice to me. so rather not spend more money into to. just paint the lip and side skirts. and get the rims back on her again

[lildavo]

already cleaned it girlfriend has the pics of it when it is cleaned going to put them up soon. hard around here to have a clean car so many bugs right now

[Isaac]
