looks like a great car, also you have planned out some great mods there. also wat is wrong with the number plate, its sorta falling off?

other than that, good luck

Nice ute mate, make sure you pick your plate carefully!

[agrocm]

whys that ?

[dufus]

Sweet ute mate, heaps of potential, and a great list of mods

[EvoVIIIJDM]

whys that ?

*slaps you in the face with a wet trout*

Pricy investment if you dont get it right the first time.

i still dont understand about why i have to pick my number plates carefully?
im also getting chrome lights for teh back and vz lights for the front and i wanna retro fit a xbox or ps2 for the passenger or me when im not driving and some like temp and volt meters maybe make some custom binacles like
vn2nv and try and move the battery, fuse box radiator overflow windsreen washer bottle and some one the engine bay cluter else where. i was thinking of usen instead of one big batter a few smaller ones in parralle same voltage just last longer maybe in the side gaurds and if i cant find somehwere for the overflow and such i wanna make stainless steel boxes for them. is the fuse box in the engine bay on vu utes im not sure if its not even better lol
and i want no visable wiring in the bay at all, i want it running near the chassis so there is no mess. and change dash lights but i have a crazy plan to be able to change the colours theres a first not just blue but blue green and red maybe with phreddys help big job but it would be an awsomely cool setup if it works.
comeon guys tell me wat u think

[agrocm]

this list of mods are getting bigger and bigger and i havent picked her up yet hahah monaro brakes and calipers

[djvsa]

is it an ss? or just normal? prob mentioned it earlier but ive missed it, my opionion is that if its just a normal v6 ute dont waste your money on mods, just get an ss, i got one recenlty and it boogies hard! please disregard if it is infact an ss, thats just my opinion mate, good luck with it

[agrocm]

its a v6 mate but teh one reason for that is im 17

[djvsa]

its a v6 mate but teh one reason for that is im 17

fair enuff dude, just my opinion thats all, nothing against your car, they are the same shape anyway, bet u cant wait to get into an 8 later on hey? believe me its worth the wait

[agrocm]

i dunno id rather a 6 for now maybe trade it in on a new ve or series after ve ute

[agrocm]

i will get some more picks posted when i get the ute i think for th plates i might get vu-22-nv as its cheaper to have letters numbers letters. i wanna start ticking off some of the mods when i get her next week they will be
1. cold air induction

2. tints

3. power window converstion (including interior door panels off the same model with out hole for the winder plan is buy 2 complete doors with interior and power windows and swap them over and just sell the new doors i buy with old interior panels.)

4. send the console surround and dash surround and a few other lil interior bits away to modicoat to get finished in piano black plus other parts in a candy blue for contrast.

5. the door trim material inserts while i have them out doing the windows my mum is pretty handy on the sowing machine so ill take the other material off use it as a template and get her to make some out of leather probly blue leather to match the theme im going for and maybe take it to a stiching place in town and get wateva my number plate will be stiched in. this idea i got from the vq statesman called "the statesman" he made a custom center console and it was awsome btw and had "the statesman" stiched into it)

6. while im at a wreakers finding some doors ill look around for some leather seats (electric ones but ones with out the 3 postion memory as i can use the new tracks and have moving seats both sides. i am goin to leave the old seats in and get my mum to un stich the old leather off them and use it as a template and get her to redo them in blue leather down the sides and the middle bit in black leather than like the door trim get the heat rest stiched with my number plate. than the old leather that came off the electric seats fit them onto the old seats and sell them )

7. get a blue dash insert and put that in.

8. get onto knox carpets and see if they have moulded carpets for vu utes in a blue and get them to put the vinal foot rests in once again with my number plate on the vinal foot rest

9. take my engine cover off and get out the old spray gun and paint it in a blue and black contrasting design i am thinking black all over than all the rasied sections like where it says 3800 paint in blue

this should all keep me busy for a while i wanna get the interior done first befor going out on mods i thought seeing as i dont have alot of money to spend as yet any ideas or things u wanna add is very welcome such as im having second thought about putting my number plate over everything is that just tacky should i put something more like holden ute or commodore or vu ute on instead ?
cheers chris
