Hi all, This is my current ride: [img]  [/img] Its a HJ GTS4 with factory sunroof. It currently has a WB Caprice front clip on, I'll be picking up some GTS guards in a couple of weeks and then I can start changing it over. It's running a 253/aussie 4speed/sally diff There's not a lot of rust in her just a couple of bits that need tidying up a bit. Cheers Quent Edited by user Thursday, 14 May 2009 7:14:09 AM(UTC)

Hi all, This is what the car currently looks like: [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] Ive put the hornetless bonnet on, added some cheap mags from a mate and redone the front suspension (shocks, ball joints and bushes). Plans are to change the front end asap, add gts spoilers (front & back) and add the correct gts blackouts. Long term plans are to replace the driveline with a 454/T400/9 inch and have some fun down at Kwinana Ill post any updates as they happen. Cheers quent PS any idea how to add pics in rather than links? Edited by user Thursday, 14 May 2009 7:17:05 AM(UTC)

  Looks 10 times better without the scoop and changing the front end should improve it even more. The WB fronts really dont suit the sedans at all. To add an image use the image button in the format section (4th from right) and then put the web address of the photo between the 2 img brackets that pop up.

Hi all, [img]  [/img] just got my guards back from the soda blasters and Im pretty impressed with how it all came up (apart from the dent on the trailer ride home). My youngest is just as excited as me lol. Who ever had them before me did everything right, even lead filled the aerial hole  Radiator support and inner guards are at the powdercoaters so in the next few weeks Ill prime these and start saving for a bit of paint.

Yes. HQ Cowl / plenium to bonnet different to HJ-WB by about 2 inches. the bonnet lines are different. I brought that WB caprice front clip off slobey, i will measure it 4 you. also, to put WB front clip on HQ-Z, you must take a bit out of the front of your chassis rails for the rad support to fit. WANTED: -2 14 x 9.25 CSA style Centrelines. -2 x 15 x 8 Dragway centrelines Edited by user Thursday, 14 May 2009 12:21:15 AM(UTC)
