My 2004 Vauxhall Monaro VXR
Discussion
Thought I'd use this an an opportunity to update from the carpool feature earlier in 2014. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyI...
First some updated pics:
I've been busy adding and changing various parts over the last few months and have to say I love this car - my cars normally only stay with me for a few months but this one is staying for the time being.
Added Omega door handles and had some paint done when first purchased.
Over the summer I treated the underside to Waxoyl
Changed the springs and struts to newer items off a car that had coilovers fitted
Added the Monkfish Road Response Pack (not an easy job)
Put some straight through pipes on it (but kept silencers in the garage just in case!)
Changed the interior to full leather
Changed steering wheel to less worn one
Changed all the indicator bulbs to silver versions
Added Depo rear lights from a Pontiac GTO (gives a more modern look in my opinion)
Added HIDs
4 new tyres
Full service including all fluids
Treat with clay bar and full polish
Coolant change
New head unit with USB and bluetooth.
This was all done DIY (except the painting!).
Have also had the alloys refurbished and full alignment done recently.
I'm still looking at having some minor bits and pieces done but my next major project for the car is probably adding the facelift bonnet then I'll be looking at adding more power.
The car is my daily driver and so far the costs have been reasonable. I've had the car 9 months now and love it, easily my favourite car I've had. I'd struggle to know what to replace it with!
Thanks for reading
