My 1996 VSII Berlina

[VS-S]

Nah not much mate. I resprayed the engine cover as it had some scratches, got a close colour to the original silver. I'm also in the process of respraying the grille inserts, as one of them has started to peel.

I'm basically just cleaning it up rather than modding it.

Good work! Haha that's how it starts

Haha, yeah, it gets addictive respraying things, i wanna do the whole car now lol.

I'm hanging to just lower it on sl's. It'll look killer, but i'm not sure if i should, i kinda like the smoothness.

End up lowering your s-pack yet?

It looks good from far, get a bit closer and you'll see all these little dents and scratches. I'll see what happens after tafe. As much as I park it away from everyone, I still end up with a new dent when I come back. Careless people I guess.

Bit of an update, installed and wired up a set of genuine SS fog lights, cut the holes and mounting tabs into the bumper, just need to get some time to paint the bezels.

I also got a set of clear side indicators off a vt, a used pair of genuine headlight protectors, a new JVC KD-R536 head unit and LED parkers and interior lights like every other P-plater.

I'll also be up for a few other jobs on the holidays, I got an inlet manifold gasket leak and a rear main leak too (surprise surprise) which means the removal of the trans and a full drainage of oil and coolant, so I might as well service the trans and replace most of the cooling system and all the top-end intake/plenum gaskets while I'm at it. Ohhh the joys of owning an ecotec, still love her though.

[KrisG]

Cheers man, I'm loving the way it came up
