Have to update this...
Heaps of things have changed, can't seem to part with this car - don't bloody know why....
Currently trying to get the thing down to panel beaters, but with work taking up most of my time, its been pretty hard. The body is faded and quite rough so I know its going to cost a fortune.

Will put up some pics, maybe - If any one is even interested...

Just discovered this thread. Nice VN man, glad you want to keep it. Also every single person with clear tail lights should do what you did, because you took gay shitty lights and made them look damn good. Well done lol

Thanks guys! Its always nice to hear some feedback.
I'll try and get some photos up soon.

Trying to sort out a respray :)

Got a heap of parts for it in my bedroom, its getting to the point where I have to put them in the car, or find somewhere else to sleep...

I've got a set of VQ Caprice door trims, Chrome window surrounds from a VP Calais, heaps of sound deading, a Bury phone kit, Speakers, new headlights and tail lights and a VQ Caprice Dashboard all sitting here waiting here for me to get motivated...

Pictures!!!

Had a quick go at installing the front door trims, yes I'm hell dodgy, that is gaffa tape used for a dust seal.
Have also dug out the leather Caprice console and added the woodgrain kit.

I have no idea how much this car has cost me, everything was always done on the cheap!

New electric antenna installed too!
