Well thought id finally get around 2 doin a my ride section 4 a couple of ppl well here is my work in progress atm. well brought "Leo" (long story lol) bout nearly 2 years ago 4 $9000 back then had 140000kms on the clock i thought it was a bargin 2 buy so i sold the old 88 magna and upgraded 2 this b4 she died lol.
1st pic is how i bought it except 4 the pioneer sticker on the back window that was the 1st thing i added wen i 1st installed my old system out of the magna into her (i miss the doof doof from the magna hahaha)
sound system was the 1st real upgrade i did went all pioneer hence the poineer sticker lol hes got:
CD player DEH-7650MP
6 CD stacker CDX-P680
6" splits TS-C1625 220W
6x9s Rear 5ways 480W
12" sub 1000W TS-W306C
4 channel amp 600W GM-6200F
Mono Block 800W GM-7200M
All work was dun by my self as im a cabinetmaker i found it easy and simple 2 do, i could of set it out so it looked competition style but i still wanted 2 b able 2 use my boot 4 storage at the same time as well as if i eva needed my spare i could, i also put a piano hinge on the floor mat so it lifts up infront of the box and amps.
Next i change my tail lights 2 the monaro black altezzas the rear garnish will b takin off as its a work in progress im goin 2 paint it blue same as the car. I then wanted 2 get rid of the 15" 3 spoke mags and changed them 2 some 17" Black CSA CHASE mags then went and found some genuine front Monaro headlights also with the black back round 2 go with the blue n black theme.
Then i saw some1 who had changed their interior lights inside the car 2 blue and i wanted it badly 2 get rid of the old dull green thats in the commos so i set my self in doin that job took bout a month 2 complete from start 2 finish with some added colours 2 make it look more real and not cheap and dodgy like most ppl have dun wen doin this conversion and it stands out alot more if i do say so myself and coz of this i have now started doin these conversions 4 other ppl 4 the VTs VXs VUs VYs and VZs (with pheddy on JC) ne questions bout thats dont hesistate 2 ask.
Next thing i wanted was a body kit a few months after i found my car i actually scored a V8 supercar body kit 4 $100 and it was somthing different from the common clubbys and ss's so i thought id set my aim 2 go with this. Ran into a problem with that bar months down the tack wen it came time 2 fitting the bar just didnt fit nicely enough 4 my liking so i ordered a new bar from SSV $600 later then i got the rest of the kit 2 match the front bar bout 2 weeks ago its the SSV style skirts, rear skirt and rear wing 2 make it look like a V8 supercar and only now ina few weeks its goin 2 get put on. im still in a delema as 2 wat the 2nd colour i wanna use say 4 inside the dam and a bit on the side skirts like most ppl do with the silver i was thinkin mayb yellow would look ok rather than doin silver as its pretty commmon??? ne feed back on that would b great so let me know wat use guys think?
Neways after this long bloody novel ive had enough of typing lol so nething else i think of i'll add it in soon hope it hasnt bored ya 2 death with so much reading hahahaha but this section should have been dun ages ago n now the work has just built up alot since then lol
