SV6 Storm Sportwagon daily...

[Shubham Garg]

Hi All,

great to finally be a part of the Commodore community. I bought this car recently as a daily. My normal car before this was a 1996 Nissan Skyline GTS25T. If youre interested, the "build log" is here: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456696-living-with-an-r33-gtst/

Anyway this is a new car, I've got some plans for it but nothing major at this stage as this is my daily drive. I will try and keep this forum updated but I'm getting inspired by others on here!

Also here are the two cars together....they work soooo well together...

Great pick up mate - these wagons are great value for money & look fantastic.

Did you deliberately look for silver to match the Nissan??

I've always liked the Nitrate - used to have a VY Acclaim in that colour and before that a VX S pack with a Holden by Design body kit which looked way better than the Acclaim as it turned out - probably should have just hung onto the VX but found it cheaper to upgrade every couple of years.

Hey, actually it just turned out to be that the one I liked was silver.

I bought a cheap steam cleaner from kmart today and started cleaning the interior of the car...
Actually worked pretty well. Works well on the carpets too...some before and after shots.

Good choice on the silver anyway, Shubham.

Yes thanks mate, can see them now. Great job with the steam cleaner, certainly made a difference!

Nothing wrong with that...haven't seen them before but just checked eBay...so about $22 from the UK??
Just like any keyring, just need to keep it away from the paintwork but since you don't even have to take these out the pocket I might get myself an SV6 & SS

Yeah thats the one I got...its super nicee. I need to get the key out because I dont have push button start but I dont see it ever touching the outside of the car....

So....23 days, I have done 4000ish kms of city driving in the car...been amazing, keen for many more...
