JESUS CHRIST THE NOISE THIS THING MAKES Also, gave her a wax on the weekend. Came up looking grouse.

NO MORE SPARKLES, WOOHOO! Also, installing this tomorrow for my birthday... Found a mate who's willing to do a full open door respray for $1000 flat, should be gunning for gloss black.

Kinda changing my mind on it to be honest, I'm really starting to like the colour. Wouldn't say it's unique but there's certainly not many VS around with the Mica Blue anymore... I liked the sparkles for about 2 months, haha. Getting the bank balance up again. I might move the gauges to the...

Gave her a clean today, going to be fixing up the interior in the coming weeks, and hopefully getting rid of the sparkles in the centre console -facepalm-

Looks the goods mate. What did you use to cut out the drink holders?

Love the look of that VP... Kinda looks like the Titanic whilst sinking.

Beautiful car, mate. Love the wheels. Great stuff.

Very tidy car, mate. Not a fan of the Altezza's at all but I like what you've done with the 16"s- White, black and red is a top colour combo. :beer chug:

Sent you a PM mate

Seems easy enough dude, lol. Music is loud but I've got some Dynamat in the doors and boot so I shouldn't have too many issues.

What a machine, this thing is awesome. Similar to what I want to do with mine. Awesome job, man!

Looks rad buddy, thanks heaps! I'm thinking the wheels are definitely the way to go :D

Hey guys, wondering if someone could please do a bit of fancy photoshopping for me, it could be a tad challenging. I need 3 things done, really- 1. Full colour change to black (If possible, doesn't really matter) 2. 19" VE SSV wheels 3. Chrome trolley strips, window surround, bumper trim...

Thanks buddy! Lots of big mods slated but I think the main thing I want to do first is to get the respray done, then try and locate myself some chrome window surround. It's a bloody difficult thing to do :( UPDATE: Thinking of getting this...

Awesome, thanks heaps man. Maybe another dumb question, but would I get in the sh*t if I put VE SSV 19"s on my VS? They look tough as nuts but I'm not sure how the law reacts.

Awesome, thanks heaps! Should I look for them off eBay, or is there a more specialised place to look?

Quick (probably stupid) question... What are the differences between a standard VS Executive body kit and the SS? I know that the foglight bezels are different, but what about the measurements? The SS kit does look a bit more beefy than the standard. Thanks guys :)

Looks grouse so far man, even with a busted motor $1400 is tops! Love your festoon lights, by the way.

Welcome to JC bro! The best thing with your VR is that the interior looks very straight, everything's completely stock, meaning that you won't find missing cables or fuses if you're wanting to add in some electronics. One thing to remember before you get to work on her, is to plan out your...

Thanks man, sounds grouse! I'm tempted to split the exhaust and get another set of dual tips coming out the other side of the bumper... Tip's only $70 from Autobarn Found some more recent pics that I've taken, with the mesh grille on...

Bump for massive update on the OP

Kinda, I've done the main instrument cluster / speedo and all, but I'm so low on funds that I can't afford LEDs. Bit of a bummer but it looks Verynice. cwutididthar

Crap, double post. Uh. Just noticed, your rear garnish looks a little red. :S

Ooooh, nice base for some serious modding. Love the look of a full blue dash conversion, and the blue lights inside look very familiar... :D All in all, nice clean base for a great coloured VS.

Hey mate, seriously interested in the engine cover. Are you free anytime in the next few days for a pickup, as I can get there anytime pretty much. Eastern suburbs - home of the Commodore.

Hey mate, nice pick up. Looks like you've got a good basis for some modding there, but I'm sure you could swing something a little bigger than 16" wheels. :) Keep us posted on how you're progressing with her :beer chug:

Howdy lads / lasses, just some updated pics and a bit of a hint as to where I'm going with the old girl. First pic, was something very simple. Removed the front grille trims and sprayed them with White Knight Super Chrome paint. I may need to go over them again in a high heat variety next...

Black mags, dude. It's just personal preference really but chrome looks crappy on sport looking sedans like yours.

This. Any mistakes you make, you can turpentine off, in my experience it hasn't damaged the doors at all. Also, ute's looking nice, Jonni. :D

Hey man, thanks for checking out the car. Uh for the fascia surrounding the instrument cluster I used the gloss black paint from Autobarn, I'm not entirely sure of the brand name but it costs about $4 for a can. The vents were done using White Knight Superchrome paint. The actual original...

Eh feck, double post. Sorry about the image sizes too, I'll fix them for the next update. Decided that I was going to change the car's colour scheme today. Stay tuned for more details. Really excited. UPDATE: Holy crap the engine is from a VT. No idea why the previous owner replaced it, but...

Sup guise. Here's some progress shots. I was seriously considering shipping off this car and upgrading to a ute, but I've decided that I'm going to keep it and fix it entirely up, eventually turning it into some kind of show car or along those lines. These are shots from a while back, but...

Epic progress today! The part of the dash where the speedo and all is now black and the backlights are blue, and the squishy centre console part is now black as well, after using some awesome Vinyl Dye. The doors are all customised now, with the window winders, lock indicators, door handle...

Mate I'm loving this, it's looking way nicer now that it's slammed. Fairly stoked for Monday, can't wait to see how it's gonna end up :D

Yeah my speedo's showing about 9 and a half klicks under what I'm actually doing, which is rather shite. I'm going to have to book her in at the local soon, and see what they can do. Also, it might've, I looked at the log books which were sent in the mail and we noticed that the brakes were...

Yeah I'm thinking I might look into some high heat paint and put it on from there, you can get it from where you work haha. And the first time wasn't my fault, I stopped, she didn't.

G'day lads and ladies. Having recently had my first VS written off by a Navara in December 2009, I figured I might as well have a squiz on CarPoint to try and find myself a nice deal. The following occurred... Name: Cam Model: 95 VS Executive, 200,000kms on the clock (which is under duress, the...
