pretty sick update once again. :)

Ditched the VT - VQ unmatched interior, picked up F&R VN Calais seats for $60, with no rips, no marks. There's some stitching that has come out on one of the rear headrests, but that will be fixed up.

Next on the cards is some minor velour detailing on the doors in creme to suit the theme i'm going for, and also going to try and retrim the gloveboxes and centre console in creme velour. just something different :)

Also, picked up some white venetians, they were supposed to go into my mates VS, but they were advertised wrong and actually fit the VN, so i gave him the $100 he payed for them and now i have them. Now i just have to keep an eye out for some VS ones for him haha.

They dont really stand out too much as i have dark tint, but i love the look of them.

I will be getting more pisc up as i wanna have a little photoshoot at a spot i've been scoping for a while.

Next on the cards is a VP international/SV90 boot lip, and possibly a VQ statesman rear bumper and garnish. Give it a different style.

update once again. Starting creating my interior, couldnt find any tan velour so i've now opted for a simple black/grey theme.

The top the the dash will be painted in dark grey, and the glovebox/centre console area will be trimmed in black velour. This will also wrap to the doors and im looking at covering the doors too, but that wont happen until i install elec windows.

slight overspray as you can see, but looks the good ;)

here's the progess soo far, the door inserts are a bit didgy as i had to drill holes, so they might be a little bit out, but for a first go i dont mind it :)

Ok, pretty lengthy update here.

Went out one night and decided to do a little photoshoot cause i don't have too many good pics of my car. found a nice little spot near where i live and they turned out awesome!

After searching for around 6 months i finally found a genuine boot lip spoiler. Went and picked it up for $60 and bought a spare boot to mount it to. The reasoning behind getting a whole new boot is that the one i have is screwed. The paint is flaking and just in a bad condition, and I can get this spare sprayed and still have my car to drive around.

The car then recieved a towball so I can carry my downhill bike to races without taking it apart. Just makes things alot easier.

Along came C4C8 and i got the car nice and clean and presentable for it. Had heaps of fun thrashing it around the track, but i may be a bit closer to a new clutch! hehe.

Also, a quick video of me racing FOG61 down the start finish straight of QLD raceway.

So there you go, mega update.

Hoping to get this boot on asap, just need to get it painted.

Found a entire VP calais international interior for dirt cheap, and i mean dirt cheap! the only thing that was missing was the front seats, no worries!




Modding started :)

First stage of my centre console.

Retrimming the door cards, the stock beige material had big black stains that would not come out, so to add a bit more contrast i covered them in black velour.

Got some mint HDT headlight covers off my best mate for my bday, loved the look if these since i first saw them.

Dash was painted black to match the calais international theme, and the final stage of my modified auto calais centre console. Covered the plastic in black velour, black ash tray and aftermarket gear boot.

Then for possibly the biggest bargain i've ever got. Found these VS senator DEVONISH seats on ebay, bought them for $200. They're very work and the drivers side is severely torn, but all the bolsters are in top knick, and im planning to get both seats retrimmed in the near future, so it worked out perfectly. they are soo comfy!!!
