[ULIEKTHIS] - iChris' LS1 Statesman

[iChris]

as some of you may know, I've got a soft spot for the statesman, so I picked this up as a daily.

2004 WK Statesman

engine - Holden V8 (LS1 I think? can someone confirm?) - 5.7L of lion power. 156K on the odometer. factory exhaust, suspension and brakes, it's a grandpa spec statesman.

interior - black leather and woodgrain, cream roofliner and pillars. standard statesman electrics and sound system with built in aftermarket bluetooth handsfree

colour - silver, with some minor scuffing as would be expected from a 10 year old car, no major dents at all.

plans - not much as of yet, maybe a exhaust as it's so quiet and the engine is barley audible over the engine fan and is just a soft humm when inside the car. however you can hear it if you really plant your foot. I'm also planning a few bits to the sound system but I want to keep it pretty much factory. maybe replace the factory sub and speakers, add ipod connectivity and GPS/navigation below the deck.

thanks.

going to organise the window tint next week (I want to darken the windows as much as legally possible) and sort out getting the little scuffs and such taken care of. I want to get it looking as best I can before I start with the mechanical/engine mods.

I'm also thinking of getting a set of angel eye style headlamps.

Looks like a nice pick up.

Thanks. It's not that bad on fuel so far, I don't trash my cars anyway. Trip computer says it averages 12.5L/100k's.

It ticks all the boxes for me and its so darn comfy. It also still has that statesman box shape that I like.

Not a huge fan of these, but the interior looks very nice. Enjoy.

Nice pickup, Look very clean and good to see you plan to keep factory as possible. 1+ for Tint windows and are you plan to put your rims from VR on your WK?
