Decision, Decision, Decision

VX Clubsport Kit or as stated in the last post the combo of the VX/VY body kit??
Also looking into a moonroof as well, since being on holidays in Europe in 2005 I have aquired a love for them. but will it look as good though?

Just seen this on ebay - VX Clubsport Front - Will keep a eye out for it.

Ok so now I have decided.....

That this blog is going to be used as my progress and updates about doing up my beloved car - Beban.

I have now had her since 2003. The VT II has been my dream car since was 16/17 yers old and when the oppertunity came for me to upgrade from my old Ford Telstar TX5 (Which was a great car) I could not go past it. We have been though adventures together (including two accidents) and yet I never get sick of sitting in her and just taking off!
Around 2005/06 I had the LPG installed into it and really haven't noticed that much of a performance issue like some people have reported. 

So I have some basic Ideas of what I have in mind with regards to this project
  • Bodykit
  • Interior dash
  • Callipers
  • Wheels
  • Retinting of windows
  • Exhaust system
  • Performance tune up
I have toyed with the idea of installing a moon/sunroof.... still undecided about it atm. There is also no time limit or dead line to this project as well.
Below are just some ideas I have seen online of things I am thinking of doing...


This is the Blue dash kit I have in mind when replacing the interior dash....

VY styled rear for the bottom

VX Clubsport Style Front with Foglights (Soooo getting the foglights for sure)

VY Sideskirts



So that is the basic ideas of what I want to do on the exterion and bits of the interior, as more ideas come along I shall ad them to the blog.

Where to Start From.....

So here I go.......

Tales and Thoughts.... In my 2 years since being up here on the Gold Coast I have experience many things, mostly fantastic things but there have been a few downers.... Like having to work up in Brisbane (which I have to say suxs cause Sydney will ALWAYS shit all over it). Thankfully I now have a fantastic job which I absolutley love and have not complained about it all (unlike my last two, which mind you were just the pits). 

Enough about the past... now for the present and future! 

So this year my beloved and I are getting married... Looking forward to it and today we got our mock up invites in the mail. Now the hard part is choosing one out of the 3 that were sent.

Also I have decided that My Car is going to get it's well deserved do up next year. Beban (my name for the car) has gone through thick and thin with me that it only deserves it! So I have been looking around for Ideas on what I want to get done and I have a few.... but these will be posted in comming blogs.

Also I would like to start cooking more as well... but as we all know I am a shocking cook!

Also I wouldn't mind setting up another aquarium tank later on in the year... prefereably after the wedding. Definaly would love my Siamese Fighting Fish again but I also fell in love with Angel Fish as well!

Also MORE ROAD TRIPS. Hopefull B (My Otherhalf) will have the 4wd back home this year. and once that is back - Look Out Australia here we come!

Also going out to do more shopping would be nice as well..... A girl cannot help but shop :o)
