I have just bought a VX II Super6 on the 9th of Jan 2015, Swapped my old VS II Clubsport for it which wasn't in the best shape but also wanted a safer car for the missus to drive if i feel the need to booze it up
below is a photo from the day i saw it and looked over it to make sure i was happy with the idea of swapping.
Had a look over the car and was quite impressed with the condition it was in, there were a few issues but overall i was pretty happy with it.
Some of the issues included power window switches which didn't work, and also a keying across 2 doors and front quarter panel which is kinda hard to see unless you look for it
under the hood was clean as!! new leads, plugs, gaskets redone, new rubbers the works..

I got my Roadworthy and shot up to Vic Roads with a big grin on my face got my transfer and rego paid for and hit my mate up for a set of VE SSV 19" Rims slapped them on and found out quickly that 245/40/19 that comes standard on VE Utes don't fit my VX .. fronts rub on the shock guard... so painfully i remove front and replace with the black 18"s and put the rear 19" on instead as i know these fit

Monday decided to head to The Tyre Factory to get 2 245/35/19 for the front rims.. 2 hour wait :/ busy guys they are..
Below are the photos from Monday Afternoon, Decided to give my Nikon D5200 a work out.
27/01/2015 Installed Stage 2 Shift Kit
05/02/2015 Installed Alpine stereo, Sony Amp and Sony and Pioneer Subs
29/05/2015 Upgraded my car, So Selling my baby.
I'm by no means an expert so if you want to throw in your 2c, I'm open to criticism.
Hope you enjoy the joyride as much as I am
