Wallys Wagon VZ
Hi all.
Been meaning to upload photos & info about me wags for a while now.
I'm actually new to the holden range (was a blue oval fan) & since this is my very first Holden vehicle, I'm very happy with the purchase!
My wags is my everyday driver & I'm slowly taking my time & making it more & more comfortable & cool instead of being stock & boring
Purchased it in Aug 08 for $11,000 from the auctions. Nil issues so far. So far I'm happy with it & havent done much in terms of mods, but comparing to most holden lovers on this site my mods/tweaks are nowhere near as cool as some of you guys but hey, its all good!
Enjoy, ill update my page as we go.
Walt.

Thats a Lumina Cluster. This is what got done...
Got the Dash light conversion done. (ive got phreddy to do the lumina & the old exec one, am going to install the exec one in my dads vz sedan). My tacho & spedo needles morph from blue to purple to red!!! ****ING KOOL AS!
Got all the interior lights (a/c, cd player, power window switches & another other atari green lights) changed to blue
Got 4 channel low-level (RCA) outputs + Ipod interface
Got a nokia bluetooth kit installed & a Holden button modified to make it look stock.
So it doesnt sound like much but jesus was there alot of fiddly work to be done.
CHE Tuned 156.8rwkw
I want all of that done except for the Bluetooth, ive already got one of the Bluetooth supertooth devices clipped to my sunvisor & that works fine 4 me.Cheers Paul!

Thats the one i want, the 4 channel RCA outputs + MP3 interface, thats the AUX button hey?
Looks like im searching for Either Calais/Berlina or Lumina cluster.
The Blue One
Im alright its the others
Yep, cant go wrong with the 4 channel RCA's + mp3 player. The AUX button is absolutely dead on to the stock paint. Full cred to Greg for getting the mixture right. Apparently Greg had to mix in an extra 150ml's of black paint to the mixture he was given by the paint factory to get it right. & get it right he did!
CHE Tuned 156.8rwkw
So u saying the AUX button dont come in black?
The Blue One
Im alright its the others
Oh yeah they do. Greg has a box full of switches of both grey & black. My interiors temp grey so hence my choice of grey
CHE Tuned 156.8rwkw
Sweat, even bought a new plate face plate for that area along with two blank switches.Oh yeah they do. Greg has a box full of switches of both grey & black. My interiors temp grey so hence my choice of grey
There is a empty space now for the AUX button.
The Blue One
kohan
Im alright its the others
im getting round to that soon. just gotta squeeze in the time to do it
Im alright its the others
Updated pics of Bluetooth & ipod button
Forgot to add these pics in as well. Bought the temp grey surrond for $6.95 & bluetooth button for... i think $20. This pic also shows the correct colour mix that phreddy made himself to get the factory original temp grey colour. job well done
