VB SLE 253
Hi All

awesome forum. after always wanting one picked up a very neat VB SLE from Northern NSW. All original except for lowered springs and V5 Simmons. Came with original wheels. Has 253, auto, and log books supporting the 110,000km on the speedo. Original paint in great condition, venitian blinds, sun visor, original gmh mud flaps, original stereo, gearbox and motor run superbly. Has the correct SLE code. Unregistered but has original SLE plates.

Have had it in for a full service, new brake pads and rotors, new exhaust with louder mufflers (std one was shot), new suspension bushes. Passed safety cert no worries. Have ordered a retro fit kit for the air con to get it regassed and up and working. Also scored some 15 x 8 simmons for the rear (currently has 15 x 7 all round) and new BFG TA 215s and 235s (yet to go on). Have yet to give it a proper clean and detail.

Thats about all i have planned for it. Keep it as is, drive it on nice sunny days.

Heres some pics

Looks very original, remands me of my old one, same year and model, red with buckskin interior. Nice.

Hi there:
I saw that one on ebay. Looks great.
I thought you could also put 15x8 simmons on the front? You mentioned you are only putting them on the rear.
