Awesome!! Looks Uber good. I love the bonnet bulge, it gives the front that real angry look. I'm looking at doing something similar but with maybe a VK scoop.

Got the bonnet smoothed out so u can't even tell its fibre glass at all now, befor it had a few ripples if u looks close but thay all came out, also front bar lines up and clips in perfect we're befor it would pop out on the sides.

Couple pics of it in the sun, next few mods will be servicing things on it I think, I want to upgrade the brake pads to something better been looking at getting bendix ultimate pads as there ment to be pretty good, the standard ones are pretty poo ATM, also want to chance brake fluid, fuel filter and get the gear box serviced, I tend to service and change filters a lot more than there needed but I'd rather be fussy than let them get neglected :)

Car is looking good.
Bendix ultimates are very dusty and chew rotors.
Give Matt a ring @ Race Brakes Sydney, he'll post them up also.

Looking good Scotty. What do you do with no Ariel, just have bad reception? Lol or is there some sort of replacement.

Thanks man, haha well I never actully listen to the radio in this car so I thought why not just pull it out to gobe the front huards a cleaner look lol I'm going to rig up a arieal that runs up under the front window piller just behind the glass, a mate did it in his old vs with a UHF Ariel and it was unseen but still worked quite well so it should work the same with a radio Ariel.

Cheers Scott

Cheers man, do you mean change the style of rims? And yer I would love Hsv brakes but no point with out big power, one day if I put a v8 in it I would upgrade but ATM for the $$ Hsv brakes are worth I don't think it be worth it in a v6 unless I found some cheep :) it's already got vy ss brakes fitted with slotted rotors whitch are better than the standard ones I think.

Cheers scott
