- VXII L67 Berlina Wagon and VEIISSV M6 Sportswagon
Fitted my new wheels yesterday, they are stock series 2 SSV rims, just freshly sprayed in 2 pack black. It might seem like a step backwards to some, but I have a thing for having Holden wheels on my car (Both my VX and my old VU both ran VE wheels). I really like the black on this car, despite not liking black wheels in the past. Now I just needed painted brakes or preferably bigger brakes.
Another thing that will seem like a step backwards, the car is now stock height (I'll admit it looked better lower). This is because the car was scraping really badly coming into my garage, which was taking the fun out of driving it. I was going to try and raise it just enough to clear my driveway, but I wanted to keep it cheap, and my mechanic had a decent set he had pulled out of another car. The plan is coilovers next year, then I can tweak it as much as I want. The suspension that was in it is for sale if anyone wants their wagon at that sexy height, which was just bordering on lowest legal.
I also fitted my sports armour today. The photo is a bit crappy as you aren''t meant to drive for 6 hours after fitting it, so better ones will come later.
