    Default ***My old mans WH**

    Hey guys this is my old mans WH statesman with caprice bits and pieces that he bought about 6 months ago...so i thought we'd take it down to the river for a few pics...

    stock genIII V8
    It has 90 xxxkms on it,
    Grey leather interior,
    Woodgrain style dash,
    Extractors,
    Twin 2.5in exhaust,
    VZ SS 18in mags,
    KnN Panel filter,

    Ive been trying to get him to get 20's for it and i think ive almost convinced him... he is also thinking of adding some forced induction to make this whale a little quicker...

    Tell me what you guys think.

    looks nice, personally i would reckomend the wheel upgrade soon as the vz ss just dont cut it for me.

    you should also of been real careful when parking it that close to a river or lake, as if the hand brake fails then you will be in deep crap. it aint easy to catch a whale in water but on land they are easy as piss

    haha yeh thanks for the comments guys, yeh definately bigger rims... the long wheelbase make them look tiny... most of my mates have 19's and 20's so im used to big rims.. they all look normal to me now... also window tint is going on it soon.
