- VL walky replica, ve sv6, vy s
Hi all.
I've already started posting updates and pics on another commodore forum in the My commodore section but for anyone thats not a member, and to avoid linking I'll creeate a thread here too.
Make / Model: Holden VL Commodore executive
Colour: beige
Bodykit: none
Engine Type: RB30
Engine Mods: Stock
Power: stock
Exhaust: stock
Gearbox: stock
Diff: stock
Brakes: stock
Suspension: Stock
Wheels/Tyres: VN SS
Interior: stock
Stereo: Sony MP3
I've just had the above car delivered over the christmas weekend 2009 and plan to turn it into a walkinshaw replica.
to date I have:
removed pin stripes
removed badges
removed side mouldings
removed front and rear bumper
removed headlights (one of them needs a new mirror)
purchased all the outside decals
Purchase some vr clubsport seats
Purchase some VS clubsport wheels
Purchased a SAAS boss kit to attach to an old autotechnica steering wheel I have.
I intend to:
get hold of the plush grey carpet
paint the dash grey (cheaper than finding a replacement)
find and install a console with a lid (done, just needs painting)
swap the engine and auto with an EFI 5L and a manual box
replace the suspension with something better
get some vt brakes
repaint it panorama silver (in progress)
Find a head unit which works really well with my htc desire mobile phone or simply run the phone straight to the amp.
Costs to date:
Car $0.00 it was given to me
Body Kit $1500.00
calais front $ 150.00
VR clubsport seats. front and back $ 265.00
decals $ 65.00
vs clubsport wheels $ 400.00
boss kit $69.00
paint, thinners, primer, clear etc... $800
compressor, hoses and spray gun $200
total @ 23-july-2011 = $3449.00
