Hey man, a little off topic but are you selling that Monaro bumper on Ebay currently, as someone has your car pictured (finally I get to see it) :mrgreen:

?

by **nstg8a** » September 11th, 2009, 9:08 pm

thats a nice eb, the wheels are a personal taste sort of thing (ie not mine), but as i said earlier, its good to see one done a bit different.

fully agree with those that have suggested a sprint/xr lip spoiler

by **CHEETR** » September 11th, 2009, 10:02 pm

yer im gona go an svo spoiler.

toutman - yes thats my vt but thats a very old picture of it about 2 years ago... alot of mods were done after that.

by **CHEETR** » September 11th, 2009, 10:09 pm

here better pics of the vt

by **bentls** » September 12th, 2009, 1:47 am

Lol massive bluepower stickers n u don't know who Chris is or what a kenne bell is lol. Chris is bluepower and the make kenne bell kits. Kenne bell > all

by **Troutman** » September 12th, 2009, 7:00 am

Cheers mate, was just concerned because sometimes people steal other people's piccys. Happened to Deepsun once.

I found a lot of VT pics after doing a search - incredible job I have to say, especially as it started as an S. Legend has it the car is being rebuilt yet again (almost reminding me of RMYERS :mrgreen:

)...

As for the EB, amazing effort, my main suggestion would be emulating the lower body kit of the VT. Details like colour coded door handles are never a bad thing either. Well done on both machines!

i dont know what kennne bell is cos im not intersted in charging the car. i still have alot of money to spend on the vt to finish it off and charging the eb is not on the aggender.

ive only spoken to theo? i think it is not chris about which way to go about the tune..before i make the big trip over there with all my parts and leave it there for a few days.

TROUTMAN - thanks mate, the vt is my pride and joy, im hanging out for the day its finished, unfortunately it wont be until i have my new house and the new garage goes up but it will be coming back alot more modified than it was before, ive done alot to it already in the past 12months.

by **bentls** » September 12th, 2009, 7:38 am

haha yeh chris is the director of bluepower theo is his lackey lol. and as cool as kenne bells are, its not worth spending that much dosh on a e series lol.

by **CHEETR** » September 14th, 2009, 9:31 am

haha yer will do bro.. buying another trail bike next week so tune wont happen now for another 4 weeks but im going to install the maf and under drives next week.

put some EL fairmont ghia leather/woodgrain trims in yesterday with chrome handles, looks heaps better than the eb ones

by **braad** » September 15th, 2009, 5:32 pm

hey CHEETR, by chance did you have a white VP Sentator on another forum? absolutely awesome peice of kit that...

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 5:47 pm

yer sold it 12months ago

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 5:56 pm

by **braad** » September 15th, 2009, 6:02 pm

thats the one!

how i wanted a VP Senator when i was readng about that. what a sweet looking car. So you dabble in everything i see? did you end up going Z3?

by **FordFairmont** » September 15th, 2009, 6:03 pm

please never put bonnet guages on the EB..... its a very stereotypical commodore trait, and really belongs on pro stock cars

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 6:30 pm

i never ended up buying the Z3 in the end i bought a M3 optioned e36 manual coupe with vader M3 leather seats and kit and stuff

as for the gauges, ill do what ever i like man.. i do what i reckon looks good..always have.

this is the beamer i bought instead of the Z3 did a bit of work and as always a set of 20z same as whats on the vt

by **[Sterling]** » September 15th, 2009, 6:33 pm

Wow do you have an LMCT? Lol both cars look very mint!

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 6:42 pm

i do them up and get bored easy , theres a few more as well that ill post up later on, i built a cusotm painted vs ute 5ltr manual about 2years ago i think thats up in echuca or something now.
there was also a vs i did up and a vl 5ltr with a factor b cast head brock motor, and a vk 5ltr manual about 3years ago, then there was 2 r31 silhouttes i built, one made 223rwkw the other i blew up 2 days after regoing it so i sold it.
pretty sure thats it from memory since i was 18 so about 3-4 years worth

thats fair enough point taken, its an admirable quality to not give **** if something looks like arse

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 7:05 pm

everyone has different opinions.

by **nstg8a** » September 15th, 2009, 7:19 pm

lo, il be doing bonnet gauges on the xf when the time comes, i reckon they look good as... plus theres nowhere else to stick them :drinks2:

cheetr, what do you do for a job man? you certainly pour some work into your cars...

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 7:26 pm

yer gauges are the bomb ay

im a newcarsalesman haha, stair case builder by trade

heres the ute a few pics along the way of the 6month build i did

by **LUXO_8** » September 15th, 2009, 7:27 pm

im a big fan of bonnet guages... love them..
that senator looks fairly awesome... love the interior

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 7:30 pm

thanks mate, ill probably end up putting a set of gauges on the eb knowing me once the tune is done and shit

by **nstg8a** » September 15th, 2009, 7:36 pm

i never really like the earlier commodore utes, but that looks all right

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 7:39 pm

thanks champ. this is the vl

by **braad** » September 15th, 2009, 7:42 pm

love teh statesman dash in it. Whilst everyone might have differing opinions on minor things (like gauges), i dont see how you can really fault the work thats put in. i dont particularly like the ute's colour, but damn, it's a colour... it could be changed easily enough. The other work though is what counts

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » September 15th, 2009, 7:44 pm

Damn you go though cars and there all bloody nice!

what have you got now? just the EB and the VT?

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 7:47 pm

thanks mate, i put alot of work into my cars.. its a hobbie i guess.

a few vt build pics, currently doing this rebuild again but this time to a LS1 car was originally a v6 s pac

EDIT **** HYPO yer mate just the Eb and the VT

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » September 15th, 2009, 7:51 pm

that last pic is how the EB needs to sit

lol

how long till the VT is back on the road?

by **braad** » September 15th, 2009, 7:53 pm

the VT goin to be T56 or auto?

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 7:53 pm

ahh probably atleast 12months man, it will only be a show pony now.. will no longer be driven all the time like i used to which is the reason i bought the eb to do up and drive daily for somethign nice.

im waiting on getting my new house to build a bigger garage to finish all the body work and get my best mate to paint it for me, theres been a few things shaved ec...
EDIT ** braad its a T56 and LS1 with a mafless tune and a few other goodies.

by **EB_GLI92** » September 15th, 2009, 8:01 pm

hey mate great cars.

Is the VT going to stay white or have you got something else in mind for it?

BTW bonnet gauges real good

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 8:05 pm

thanks mate.

colour is going to be 2 tone, black on top red on bottom with a white pinstripe.

and yer love my gauges ill end up putting on a set on the eb i think.

the ute and the vt have 2 1/4inch gauges, the vl and the senator have 2 5/8inch gauges , i think ill go 2 5/8 on the eb

by **t1MMy** » September 15th, 2009, 8:24 pm

How many jobs you work to afford all that ?

All looks pretty impressive.

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 8:26 pm

1 job mate im a new carsalesman

by **[Sterling]** » September 15th, 2009, 9:01 pm

Must sell a hit load of cars!

My 2c for your VT.. Tougher wheels! Nothing bling..

by **HUSSLN** » September 15th, 2009, 9:04 pm

hopefully this time he remembers to airbush the t in cheetr on the engine covers aye

by **EB_Ghia** » September 15th, 2009, 9:04 pm

by **CHEETR** » September 15th, 2009, 9:09 pm
