Hey guys im 16 years old and i have been a member for a while now also had my car for a while, well brought it in april last year off a guy on here but i have just been working on it getting it registered, roadworthyed and just doing some small mods.
This is it when i first got it home from vic roads
Image

This is after i lowered it at the local car wash
Image

Its pretty low haha
Image

This is the dash when i got it i laughed at the guy
Image
i put it all back to stock

When i put my xr6 lip on
Image

oh yes and also when i first lowered it haha could not get the jack out
Image

Well yes thats it for the photos the smalls mods a have are sound system,lowered,pod filter,extractors,2.5inch exhaust and xr6 boot lip
i am trying to get ready to do a manuel conversion and also really want to do the el interior conversion i have a fairmont waiting around the corner for me to pick up it has full xr6 engine diff everything i could ever want lol so will get that soon as it does not bother me about having the car off the road as i dont really need it its got reg and roady ready to go for when i am done so anyways give us your thoughts and opinions and any info would be a great hand thanks

Looks clean mate. Glad you got rid of the black dash surround ( assuming that's what you were talking about )

Have to agree that the painted rear garnish looks like arse, but your car so your choice. Defiantly a good first car :good:

Looks good mate :good:

Garnish is bad, but as long as you bought it with the car for the right price, who cares? Needs a EBGT kit on it though....
Hope it goes well for you, should be significantly better than my first car! (Sh!tty honda accord that had been around the world a billion times...)

The painted garnish IMHO does look vn spec. But it does not look as bad on this colour car as it does on white.

yeah I agree, this looks passable unlike WILDEA's, a white garnish just doesn't look good, the white garnish lets down what is a very clean & decent car, but each to their own I guess
