VN Berlina
Hey everyone, just thought id show you all my first car to see what you all think, i got it about 2 weeks ago and ive just been cleaning it up abit, giving it some polish and so on.

Ive had my ideas on what i want to do to car for a fair while now and im slowly gonna make these happen im hoping!
Im not planning to do anything to the engine as it is only a 6, so ill wait for my opens to get a V8 or a turbo, or get the best of both worlds and turbo a V8! But we shall see

So here goes!

Name: Tim

Model: 1990 VN berlina sedan

Colour: 2 toned, white top and grey bottom

Body kit: its an sv5000 kit i think its called?

Engine type: 3.8L ecotec v6

Engine mods: CAI and i think thats it

Exhaust: extractors then stock

Gearbox: 3 speed auto

Diff: stock, i think?

Power: unsure

Wheels: 19" advanti

Tyres: 245/35ZR19

Suspension: stock

Brakes: stock

Interior: stock

Stereo: stock

Other mods: its got a VP boot

Ive got a SAAS steering wheel kit and steering wheel to put on, got a different dash cluster, also the wheel panel insert things? Unsure of their name.

Future mods:

LSD.
Change the diff gears.
2 1/2 manta exhaust with hi flow cat, front muffler, rear resonator, and twin dump tips.
I may lower it, im thinking im just gonna get the oxy on the springs though.
Im gonna get a full sound system, head unit, 4 6" speakers, tweeters, 2 12" subs that im getting made into a band pass box, amps to those.
Change all my interior lights.
Set up foot well lights, and lights under the seats.
Ive got 4 door handles i need to put on the car.
Im trying to find some window mouldings with the chrome strip.
Planning on some air strutes for my bonnet and boot.
Unsure about chrome mesh for the front and back.
Mabye some rear mud flaps to make the back look lower?
Getting it tinted soon.
And im going to get the number plate lights for the VP boot.
Also wanting to add a second battery for when i use my sound system while the cars not running.

and does anyone have any suggestions on where i can mount some gauges? thats legal.

but tell us what you all think of it, give us some ideas of it on what to do.
cheers everyone, TheNewKid

That looks really nice mate! The VP boot garnish doesn't look right though. Has it had an ecotec put in it? Because it wouldn't be ecotec stock, it'd be a 3.8 Buick.

I wonder if you got one and sprayed it the same color as the silver strip if it would look good.
