Hey nice ride mate, do you mind if i ask how much the car cost you, im looking at buying my first car, just trying to get an indication of prices.
Cheers.

[GILLO]

Cost me $6000 about 15 months ago, got it pretty cheap at that stage, i saw some exec's and other cars with higher K's for $7000 so got it pretty cheap, already had the rims on it too

[Chilly]

He He scooooore, cheers

[Endrew]

5000-6000 for a VT. Wouldnt pay anymore, unless it was a Manual then thats a whole different game.

I actually got the leather steering wheel in a package for $100 off ebay, it included the leather steering wheel, leather console lid, leather handbrake with chrome button, and leather auto shifter with chrome button.

Since then I have replaced the handbrake with a VY SS version, hopefully will do the same with the auto shifter, and will eventually put a VY/VZ steering wheel in there too.

Damn, very nice. If you still have the leather handbrake and auto shifter w/ chrome after you get the new VY/VZ ones, let me know if you wanna sell em
I'll keep my eyes peeled for a leather steering wheel. Fingers crossed lol

Sorry mate already sold the handbrake, I'm not sure on how to fit the auto shifter yet, only seen it done on one VT before and it looked really good, but apparently its not as easy as swapping them straight over, its a bit tricky. The leather wheel is so much better than the standard, feels much better in the hands, looks way better too.

No worries
And yeah my mum's got a leather steering wheel in her VY, I love it so much.

No real updates yet, just painted my door air vents the same colour as my dash, nice cheap little DIY mod





Just a random pic of the interior lights

The guy's name is Robert Tagg, he is car audio/visual/lighting installer, he can hook you up with SMD lighting, neons, fit your fog lights, stereo gear, pretty much anything, great bloke, has done all my car wiring from foglights to stereo install, VY sunglass holder lights and sun visors with lights. He is located in the western suburbs of Melbourne, number is 0412584320, anyone feel free to give him a call regarding installation, couldn't recommend him highly enough.

No real updates, hopefully gonna have my car lowered in a couple of weeks, I'm getting KYB shocks and King Springs all round, plus a few bushes to tighten up the front end which are a bit shagged at the moment.

Just a couple of pics:

Cheers mate, money well spent i reckon. I'm thinking getting the VT SS sides and back done too eventually.

yeah i just bought a VT S-pack for 7500 but its a manual and you wont find em much cheaper than that, especially if your looking for one that hasn't been thrashed

[Full Spectrum]

Looking great mate.

[GILLO]

Looking great mate.

Cheers mate, the dash lights will never be as good as yours tho

[Kellly]

nice car for you first ride

[GILLO]

Just done a couple of little things. I have added some chrome mesh behind the front bar to clean it up a bit, came out great. And I also replaced my old bonnet badge with a new shiny one

Pics:

[Full Spectrum]

That mesh looks great. Love the stato badge.

Thanks mate, the mesh really clean up the front end, and the stato badge adds a touch of class. Well thats the front end all done, nothing else can be done to improve that Just need to respray the bonnet eventually, stone chips eveywhere, dont like my chances of finding a new bonnet in Amazon Blue so looks like I'll have to fork out for a spray.
