83 VH 202, Yellow. Hopefully Future project.

[Jedwards]

Model:
1983 VH SL Commodore

Body Interior:
All standard.

Stereo/Electrics:
Pioneer head unit with aux in and 2 180w pioneer 2 ways, 300w fusion amp and some random sub.
(Mate sold me wiring, amp, sub for $70, thought it was alright.. Saving for new gear)

Engine & Mechanical:
Bog stock 202 blue
3 speed trimatic, slightly warn...

Suspension & Brakes:
All standard, replaced front rotors, pads with supercheap parts, Bendix break pads i believe.
Rear break pads also replaced, so pretty much new breaks..

Exterior:
Canary yellow paint, slight surface rust around boot, corner of guards, and doors, a few dings..
Completely stock, exept the chrome tow ball..
Clean car, so im thinking maybe a project in a year or two.

Stuff Left To Buy & Future Plans:
Hoping to buy some cop rims or something simmular, wouldnt mind making it a sleeper...
Thinking RB30 conversion in future, but I want a V8 aswell...
New sub and amp, hopefully..
wouldnt mind a slim spoiler, like a descrete one..
Future plans are to clean it up, and if funds allow, apprentice wage, turn into a really good sleeper, thinking either a 350 chev, or RB30.. Wouldnt mind the easiest engine to convert as I intend to do the whole lot. Plus I wouldnt mind a really quiet system, a worked V8 isnt that quiet...
Maybe lower it a inch or two.
So yeah, thats my plans for it.
Ill Add more photos later.

castlemain rod shop sell complete 350 chev into VB-VK kits, so doesnt get much easier than that.
dual 2.5 inch system with a straight though muffler and resonator on each bank = mega quiet till you open the throttle.
subbies and amps are silly

hope to see more soon

Ari, Cheers sounds like a awesome system! Ill do a bit of research into that, thanks.
might keep it with a single pipe, but who knows what will actually end up happening.
Yeah they are silly, Played around with the settings a bit this morning, Im happy with the quality of the sound, so ill leave it.
For some reason the uploader doesnt like uploading my photos, Ill take some better pics soon anyways.

I got bored sometime last week, and after a bit of convincing from a mate i decided to give it the berries..
this is the result of my effort. I am going to say now, I am definantly quite a ########.
This was done up my drive as i could not bare to do anything on the street as i really need my license.

Anyways, last saturday I re made my parcle shelf with a bit of felt or something i found around the house, im quite happy with it.
I also added a blue tosser interior light and cleaned up my sle wheels and put them on, i removed the rear guards after one of them became missing.
Il put some photos up again soon.
Being my daily drive its hard to find the time to work on it, but slowly, im getting there.

Cheers mann, its not really, its soo shi* at the moment..
Yeah ive gota replacement bumper and lower splash panel, valant thingo for it im in the process of sanding and painting.
I need to find the time to get it on though, then ill do those headlight upgrades i was asking about.
Cheers for the help buddy, and 600 for yours? no way, it looks easily worth 1.5k or more man!
also cheers for that link on ebay with the springs, now i gotta get the money together, a guy at work lowered a rolla for 70 bucks and was telling me about getting second hand stuff.
I think if the price is right ill jump on it and get it done.

UM... how the F..K did you do twins with a 202? you MUST have an LSD in it?

I was asking myself that too!
