Welcome Shaun. Not a bad car for a 15 year old.

Sweet, keep her straight and clean mate, there isnt too many VN's around in that good a condition anymore.

I noticed you say youll get new badges.. You're talking about new Holden badges ..right?

Yeah. Mainly just the 'Commodore' 'Holden' and the 'V6' one.

What sort of stereo you going for?

Mainly something I can plug and iPod/iPhone into and just some new parcel shelf speakers, maybe more. I'm not looking for big subs and everything just something simple.

i got a decent head unit and some 6 inch speakers in one package from jb hifi, think it was under $200 (kenwood) and had usb port at the front. i play all my stuff right off a flash drive, pretty happy with it. would you be doing the install yourself?

welcome to JC too btw...

I may do it myself but if it's too complicated I'll get someone to do it.

And thanks.

UPDATE: Got the speakers/parcel shelf out. Took about 30 mins but we finally got it out.

Looks like a tidy VN, keep it that way mate.

Headunits aren't hard to change on these, there is a guide in the how to section, and if you but a headunit from a shop. ask them for a harness to suit. It should be mostly, if not entirely plug and play.

Update: Got a headunit and speakers yesterday, got the old headunit surround out earlier today.

Pics.
