when it was lowerd
Image

-4.0l 6cyl
-2.5inch catback exhaust with chrome tips
-15" alloys :good:
- SSL Kingsprings all round
-leather interior
-tint
-change all the interior lights to blue l.e.d's
-alpine h/u, sony splits, pioneer 6" 3 ways in rear, 2x 12" pioneer subs, o/a mono amp and a sony 4ch amp :thumbsup: goes hard

hoping to save some $$$ for 19's or 20's not sure if i should go chrome or black with polished lip

i went for a year without a car when i got my license, i borrowed the money off the old man n he didnt want me to buy a shit box that i'd have trouble with cuz im only on apprentice wages so he kinda had a say in wat to get.. i originally just wanted a 5spd commo but i ended up buyin this in mint condition n im happy with it :) and i dont really plan on gettin rid of it unless i need a ute for work later in life..

Sweet first car, I thought I was doing well with my EF ghia as my first car :-P

Looks mint, probably one of the only cars that would suit a set of chromies.


Hmm, wonder what it would look like if you painted the reflector between the rear tail lights white?

EDIT:

Done a quick photoshop;
Image


I'd do it :-P

Fat tyres on the rear and leave it. Check out SLY5LT to see what I mean.

Deosnt look bad at all though does it John? If I had a spare garnish I'd definitely have a crack at it.
First mod I'd go for would be a manual conversion, followed by a mild regrind cam. Bugger the rims, it looks tuff on the stocko's being that low :thumbsup:

Nice lane mate... loving the ride height. I'd throw on a fairmont grill, either would look sweet but a el with the chrome would look tops, just never been a fan of the NF and NL grills myself. Especially if your throwing on a set of black wheels.. put a black centre in the grill.. ;)
