thanks trev buddy, the guy selling them has only just started making them to trial them out, I have only the 2nd set he has produced.

The engine covers and pedals look great too.

Well today had a bit of a play around with the car, last night I had a thought about modding my eye level brake light using my vinyl cutter, so sat down today with a pencil and paper, sketched up how I wanted it to look and then cut the word "HOLDEN" out of black avery vinyl, removed the eye level brake light, and stuck the vinyl over the top....was a bit of a hassle as you have to remove the rear seat to access the parcel shelf to get to the light, but I think it was worth it.....As now when I hit the brakes this is what you see from behind....Cheers. Andy

Looks good Andy, heres your 1st order for one, could you please make up one for me with SXYVR6 on it and let me know what I owe you
and I will come and get it off you straight away, oh, and while you're at it matey could you also make another one with................you guessed it
ENVSV6.

Cheers matey and thanks

Sorry to disappoint ya guys. While it looks excellent it is a defect. I looked into this last year because I had a mate that was learning lasercutting and wanted a project.

You will notice that even the brake lights you used to be able to buy with stop written on them are no longer available for that reason. ( except for some dodgy shops)

Up to you of course but I guarantee you will get done eventually




cheers
Pazz

Yeah altho it looks good i will give it a miss but good job on that andy

They are actually seling HSV ones on ebay. Looks wicked Andy

well a bit of an update, got bored with the XHP sabers so have replaced them with a set of 18" Chrome BSA 291's.....

Not looking to shabby there andy it would look awsome with some deep dish rims on it

Hey Andy them wheels look good on the Stato mate. Give a more Classy look not that a Stato needs more class.

Hey 2 WH Stato's in the Club cool. Andy and Dave

cheers for the comments guys, your right cliff they just ooze class all over, and is great to drive... trev i have seen too many of them ridin around on deep dish rims, and whilst i agree they look awesome i opted for something different....hows the build going now buddy ????

The build is going very slowly Andy lol the front end is going to take me a while to complete i think DOH

set it up if you know ppl getting married

i want to take the single bridesmaids for a ride and not just in the car

Well give the stato a bath and a polish today, then it was out with the Autosol on the rims for an hour and a half !!!!! end result I'm very happy with..

Looking good as always Andy, how does ya back hold up with that sort of work? Or do you pay for it over the next few days?



cheers
Pazz

That I do pazz will be laid up now for the entire weekend...my back has stopped me doing a lot of things but i have always taken pride in my cars and refuse to let a car as good as this go to rack and ruin by not keeping it clean....plus the outcome is worth it I think.....A couple of Morphine tablets before I start certainly helps.

Great job on the stato Andy I gotta spend a good few hours on my car

thanks heaps Trev buddy, I know what ya mean about spending a few hours polishing...lol I usually wash her once a week, sometimes twice depending on how dirty she gets....but have been a bit slack of late, and also in a lot of pain so I let it go for a while....but there comes a point where you walk outside and look at it and just cant bear to see it sooo filthy..

well scored a bargain today...a 7" Response Roof mounted TFT screen with all the bits for $100 bucks

Good score mate statos coming along well
