    since everyone else has their own thread i though i was as well have one too :D

    recently bought this for $1400, its done quite alot of k's (283000).
    the only mods I've done to it is the stereo and I've got a growing list of things to do to it.

    this is my first car that i actually own, previously drove my parents 87 corolla all the time, so this is basically my second car.

    currently immobile and stuck on my driveway due to a seize fuel pump which left me stranded in a Mc Donald's carpark, when i got home i realise i could have kicked the fuel tank and driven it home.

    1989 VN Commodore Executive
    3.8L V6 with 4 Speed Auto
    2.5" Exhaust from manifold to coby then onto factory muffler ( i think )
    after market springs (unsure to what type)
    Pod filter

    Pioneer DEH-P4950MP -Head
    Clarion 6x9 -Rears
    Sony 4" -fronts
    Sony 600w amp
    Pioneer TS-W306C Sub
    With VR\VS speaker pod modification for 6" fronts

    225 50R 16 Bridgestone Potenza G3 Tyres on front, god knows on back.
    Not sure of what type of rims it has

    List of Things to Do
    Cold air induction
    Sub
    Replace Fuel pump
    Maybe Rom upgrade
    Tints
    Steering Wheel

    List of Completed Stuff - 20/11/07
    Steering Wheel
    Cold Air induction (sort of done)
    Replaced Fuel Pump
    Tints (looks like ****)
    Sub

    nice ride, those are clubsport rims that have been polished. not replicas by the looks of them either. looks like you still got the original ignition leads on there. give her a full service, you'll be amazed how much better they run.

    shes had the coil/leads/ignitor replaced before i bought it.

    the guy said he got the holden sticker on the window for like $15NZD, its like an etched sticker.

    she looks tidy under the bonnet, shame about the relay/fuse panel lid, time to go to the wreckers to get another one. i had considered getting a holden sticker accross the windsreen but i thing it would be a bit much on a white car

    Just gave her a bath, also got the mods made in most of the photos.

    bonnet pins are on there for a reason, didnt really want them but beats having the bonnet fly up.
