Just picked ouselves up a great deal, she needs some work, but has alot of potential and after owning a couple of vl's and a vn, its somewhat of a relief to pick up this vt real cheap.Here's a couple of pics, As is before paint etc...
Yeah when the paint is all fixed up she will come up a treat, dump her, and loose the monaro tail lights with the vt garnish.
Will come up good after spray job, go with vx berlina rear lights and garnish or standard vt taillights. so get sanding and painting hehehehe.![]()
Will look nice when all painted and polished. Definately get rid of the monaro taillights, some VX Calais lights and garnish would look sweet.
Yeah, I definately dont like the garnish, although I am partial to the tailights. Abortion???, this coming from a guy whom puts black rims on a black car, umm yeah, ok. Lowering it's definately on the cards, although we have almost ripped the skirts off as it is on some kirbs. lol.
I'd rip the whole kit off, dump it on 19's, tints and respray you have one sweet ride.
I have to agree though, it does kind of look like an abortion![]()

The kit gives it styling, no kit, it'll look like just another vt stocko, I much rather leave it on having the boys at the panel shop give it some att. i picked up a SS induction kit for it in replace of the pod filter, for the mofo that fitted the pod filter, left the air temp sensor disconnected, and wonderd why the engine light stayed on, lol. Anyways, fixed that, she is running sweet now![]()
Nice ride mate. Looks like a great project car. Good place to start a project too - a current/modern shape car.
With a bit of paint, she'll blend in with the rest and look classy. Good move on the induction...those POD's are over-rated.
Look forward to seeing what else unfolds with it - keep us posted![]()
Hehe abortion. The dude that owned that car obviously had no coordination or sense in what suited what. It looks like a vt with parts of 8 different cars. IE: illegally obtained goods.
Needs a lot of work but if you got it at a good price then it's worth it I guess.
wat does it say on the back door? HSV something??
Well unlike others whom have the vehicles bought buy there parents or owned buy the bank, At $1500 I think hell yeah, its worth it, especially when i work in the car industry and most things i need done cost a carton of pissI mean it came with 4 mnths reg, 100k's on engine, crossdrilled/slotted rotors/sports exhasust, and plany more extras. Charg'd the sticker says "HSV signature sport", not sure what thats all bout, prob the ppls whom fitted the kit, No the bloke whom previously owned it did not look after it, but its in good hands now, oh, an thx for the positive feedback coops_23.
At $1500 I think you've done really well. It's amazing what some paint can do.
I'm sure you'll get it looking great. Good luck with it.
MY RIDE
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
Well, thx for the comments guys, will keep yas posted.![]()
Looking good mate. She should come up nice with a fresh coat of paint, and maybe a VX garnish.
LoL tonkass, Illegally obtained parts, 8 different cars. Its actualy 3 and no, there not illegally obtained, Its a Vt, with monaro tail ights and a Vx R8 bodykit. 8 different cars parts, lol, you have some imagination m8. But do tell me, what makes u think that the parts or kit may be illegally obtained, is it that ur in the buisiness?,![]()
Not a fan of the tail lights, doesnt blend into the boot garnish.
Car definallty has potential, with a fresh paint job shell look sweet. Im a fan of the kit as well.
I think he was joking GCVT97...... good luck with your car.....
A word of advice in the car scene (forums) Be able to accept negative and positive feedback..... Someone will always have something harsh to say and you need to be able to ignore it.....
" Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out "
Thx, Grenan, I do plan on changing the boot garnish when the kit is repaired and painted. Maybe your right Ludacris, yes, negative positive feedback, that helps me determine what i need to change on my car, but i do think if u read between the lines of his comments, he was being a lil smart. However, Someone having something harsh to say is very right, thx for your comment![]()
Here's a few pics after some changes, such as the SS induction. I didnt need to hold the bonnet up for this pic after replacing the struts, lol.
dam not bad for $1500 good pick up , how many Kms has it done ? new paint , tail lights , rims and dumped itll be sweet .
cant understand why people put rice lights with stock vt garnish looks terrible, either dnt have rice lights or whack a vx boot on looks good apart from that IMO
As explained previous, rice lights as u call them, came with the car, boot garnish will be colour coded when bars are painted. thx.
