A little about my story first off..

i drove an xr6



then this.....



so i went and brought myself a series II vt ss, dont have any photos of when i first got it, but the spoiler soon shat the bolts and came off and it then looked like this..


i soon removed the chrome strip,


very soon after i took it off the road for the weekend and me and a few mates got it up on the hoist and put in sl's all round, and new front slotted rotors. whilst working on her had a few beers and stupidly, spare of the moment type thing painted the rims gloss black..




after that weekend had enough for a while so just cruised around for a little bit, went to c4c etc..



then.. someone in an f250 made my car piss in a carpark (mind the bandaids),


few weeks later before i could get it into panel and paint, my first generation ls1finally shat itself. its now sitting in the shed waiting for panel and paint shop to make some time for me, where a new ss kit and spoiler will be put on aswell as the rear end fixed. after panel and paint she goes to csc performance where an ls2 will be getting dropped in.

future plans after that is, throw her to suspension shops where ill get full suspension rebuild. then to get a nice simple sound system (none of this doof doof sh*t).
just wanting her to be a clean, stock looking vt ss, hiding an ls2


as shes waiting, shes sitting like this..







..so thats where its at, sorry about the long post.

small update for anyone thats interested..

been talking to 'reaper customs' about the engine work, as if seen their panel and paint work aswell as their engine work.
its looking good, they wil do a cam'ed ls3 create motor for the same price other joints will drop in a standard ls2 out of a ve.. but still deciding what road i want to go down.

first just need to find myself a daily as i dont have a work car anymore and travel far for work. fml

I reckon it looks good with the black wheels and the chrome strips gone, nice one. Big plans for it too always good to hear, will be watching with interest.

If you dont mind me asking,
How did the XR6 end up like that?
Also nice VT, i think the painted wheels turned out pretty well.

Id go an LS3 over an LS2. But thats my opinion. Looks good stealth black too
