    Hey guys. Been meaning to post sooner just haven't had time.
    Got a fair bit of work done on the car over the past few weekends and i got it looking mint.
    Installed new exhaust. Lukey headers and 2 1/2" cat back. Also got my superlow springs on.
    Then last week got my rims on. 18" Vendetta V8's. I think it really brings the car together. Also got my VX boot on Sunday needs a respray. Probly get it done this week sometime.
    Give us your opinion. Cheers.

    Well got a bit of work done on the weekend til I slammed my finger in the door of my old mans ute. However I did get a little surprise this weekend. Greg from ASR dropped in and hooked me up with a conversion. Tomorrow I'll get a hold of a good camera and take some shots of the car that with do my new dash justice.

    just won a full leather Calais interior on ebay. includes everything. door trims seats even the carpet. and all for the low price of $600 only thing missing is the door lights but a trip to the wreckers will sort that out

    Cheers mate do love the colour, not a very common one amongst commodores. And yeah I really can't praise Phreddy enough. Until you've seen him go through the process you'll never realize how much time and effort he's gone through to perfect it and as you can see the result is amazing
