Ok guys! bit of an update!

Found out i have a little one on the way so spending has been kept to a minimum!

replaced the front seat... looks shocking being out of a different car (VY to be exact) last one had twisted, not comfortable at all!!

De-badged the tailgate,removed the pinstriping and gonna attack getting those side mouldings off in the next few weeks, currently painting the door handles when i can find a day when it aint raining in this hell hole (Ballarat).

Also currently repairing the front bar that matches the rest of the body kit seen in the pic above. cracked in so many spots but ive got a mate who may look at all the paint work on the car! considering a full re-spray but of the same colour or maybe just a bit darker. (kinda have a boner for cherry black)

Ive replaced all the globes minus headlights with LED's. White LED Parkers are so neat! still looks like a heap of **** but slowly getting somewhere! will take some pics when i finally get rid of the rubbish dump in the back seat :p

Thanks for the interest guys!

Door handles have now been painted and the bonnet and front guards and the bodykit for the front end will get a respray next weekend. Also scored some 17" VT SS Wheels for now which ill pickup this week and a new interior (nothing fancy) gotta get the middle seatbelt working for bubs on the way ;)

*I ay have photoshopped that pic a bit :p


Plans after the front of the car has been sprayed is to repair both side skirts and repray, continue to pull off the grey side moulds and continue to fix all the bits n bobs in the interior.

Ill post more once i spray the front end over xmas! ;)
