great looking car mate any other plans than the headlights ?

[rch-13z]

thanks heaps mate

looking to go LSD, change the window surrounds to the calais ones.. Want to change the exhaust, at least cat back..

and if things get better financially i'd love to organise to supercharge it

[bradvt98]

yeah don't we all calais window surrounds would suite the colour of the car to good luck with it mate

[arrow224]

Nice car dude.

Obviously, the sub isn't just randomly placed in the boot there, or am I looking at it wrong?

Trick of the trade, bass actually bounes off the corners and gives you bigger boom for your buck.,.. look crappy but most ppl dont see it at all..

Gave another 1-2 Db

Ive made sure my rear end is all nice and tight... otherwise it rattle like crazy

Thanks for the feedback

[bezz]

wow that car looks remarkably like mine haha

[rch-13z]

me you and the other 500,000 burgandy red VT owners..

[wrx884]

cars lookin nice man some monaro headlights would set it off nicely

[HoldenManDan]

hey mate, looking great! Your wheels go really well and it's lowered just right. Gauges look awesome too, cant wait to see it.

Cheers

[NickVR]

Thats a really neat VT mate. Sounds like you got some nice plans for it.

[rch-13z]

thanks for the kind words lads, currently striping back the facia and organising an air gun to respray it. Hopefully should have it done before the putty road cruise 17th feb.

Blardy plastic primer is clear....

Items needed: wet/dry sandpaper 800 and 1500 grade - plastic primer - Wax & Grease remover aswell as paint and paint thiners.

Should be interesting to see how it works out... Will post pics either way!

[VXecutive]

hey mate are those chrome add on's on the gear shifter and hand brake? if they are where did u get em?

[rch-13z]

hey mate are those chrome add on's on the gear shifter and hand brake? if they are where did u get em?

They are off the calais and statemens i think.... holden sell them. The door handles and handebrake button are easy but the actual auto shifter is impossible, ended up getting some1 else to do it..

[Noy]

nice car man.. mind the vz bit lol... wrong tab

[rch-13z]

hey guys, finished the dash, its come out alllright... would have preferred it with a 2pak finish, but i guess beggers cant be choosers.

Probably just need to be polished again...

I have added some pics below. I managed to get my hands on a set ot HSV badges..

Now just gotta slow down and actually save some cash cash....

[NickVR]

Came up well mate. Good job.

[Terminal]

I really like what you've done with this car mate congrats.

[MitchS]

I'm not fond on the tail lights, but otherwise thats really impressive

i particularly love what you have done with the interior, the attention to detail is amazing

[rch-13z]

Came up well mate. Good job.

Cheers for that, quite happy with it... Just needs to be re-polished. Installed @ 2am the night before the cruise. Thank God for LED torches

[Archers]

Thanks mate, happy with the outcome. Home re-spray, yeah organising the engine cover now, just prolly do it to match the paint. not as crafty as you. Gotta keep it simple.

[Sir VxSs]

nice as man top job on the gauges i have exactly the same ones ! what is it holding them steel or wat! looks tuff everything sits flush as

[rch-13z]

hey guys, just an update. Just questioned holden about the cost of Calais window surrounds..

I am not paying $700 for window surrounds in chrome... So ive taken them off my to do list.... Money better spent on Monaro headlights....

[Rishy]

Yeah screw that price. That could get the headlights and at least a catback.

Ride height looks good, im looking at getting around the same or maybe a lil bit lower.
