Got my air con regassed this week and had to replace the tx valve... nice and chilly now!

so tomorrow i'm doing the LED dash conversion.. might go get a 3 window cluster and work on that as opposed to pulling the car apart. Decided on red cluster, blue windows, and everything else blue to match up with my stereo.

In the near future I'll be getting all my window tints redone, had to rip off the front ones for regency and the back ones are all scratched anyway, should be done in the next week or 2.

also organising what to do to the car next... decided to go with a VX SS kit minus spoiler. Actually turned out cheaper/easier just to change over the front and rear bars to VX SS ones and swap the headlights than to buy extensions for my current bars. Should also be getting my VX taillights this week and still on the hunt for a berlina/calais boot garnish. A 2.5" exhuast system should be on its way to me very soon.

Also may have a source for some chrome window panes : pimp:

Now just need to save for the ever distant set of mags...

time for a bit of an update i reckon. Due to now saving for an overseas trip I've decided to scrap the new rims idea and just go with my old VY SS wheels I had on my VN. Got them on the other day and now organising to get the car lowered. Gave the car a hand polish today too with repo so its got that mirror finish back that we all love

Getting a gas conversion in january and with the rebate I'll get it done for nothing so I'm cheering. Couldn't get an injection system though as my gas guy isn't licensed to fit them... oh well.

Got my eye on a vx berlina garnish i'm gonna pick up in the next week, as well as some taillights to suit. My current garnish leaks and I only have S1 vt lights on there, so they gotta go.

The rear bumper needs a respray too so I've decided to replace it and the other bumper/skirts with a VX SS kit I've managed to source. Apart from that futher down the track I'll get an exhaust for it and maybe swap the seats over to some SS ones. Should look pretty nice then I reckon, and I'll get away without spending all too much.
