First off the tone of your replys are not very nice in fact I reckon your a real smart arse. I have used many forums that one can upload pics to that are not full of adds..some may have sponsors..anyway the technicality's behind this are not important ..it is just a fact that some forums like this one use one method and some use another to display pics.The method this site uses.(IMO) is more problematic for users..its all very simple..you getting on you high horse and rabbiting on about me paying for the site to be updated just makes you look a fool..grow up!

No high horse here. You claimed we should allow image hosting for users without really knowing anything about the history of the forum or what we have tried before. I told you what we used to do and why we can no longer do it, and told you what you would need to do (pay for it) if you want hosting on this forum. If stating cold hard facts in responce to an uninformed post is being a smartass then I guess I'm guilty. If you want sugar coating then join a lolly forum 'cause there's not much sugar coating around this place.

Not sure who can help me but I recently bought a VU SS Fifty at a damaged vehicle auction basically for the LS1/T56 combination. The car is YELLOW. My research shows me all 500 were Black.

Can anyone with a Fifty confirm the following...

Model VU8VK80-062-8BB
Trim 81I
Paint K025
Build NOV01
Eng LS1
Trans MM6
Susp FE2
Axle G89

Thanks in advance,

Rather than clog this thread up I have just written a small novel under the my ride section which details what I have done to my VE SS Ute in the 14 odd months I have owned it plus I have given my opinion on various bits and pieces I have done.

If you are interested in a heap more pics plus my 'story' the link to my little piece in the My Ride section is http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=75917

A couple of pics for this thread. First pic is after fitting the Lovells gear, second pic stock ride height with 20" wheels and third pic is one of Ziggy's OTRCAI kits







I also put links to servers where my pictures are stored at the bottom of my 'novel' in the my ride section. It shows the pictures of my old VY SS and VE SS Sedan and if you look at mainly the Redhot VE SS sedan pics you will see quite a few cheap cosmetic mods which may be of interest to some VE owners. Things like colour coded dash strips, modified L76 factory twin engine covers, boot lid internal cover panel etc.

My hope is that this may be of assistance to those of you who have contemplated doing any of these cosmetic mods but haven't proceeded because they have not seen a picture of what they will look like.

As I said, it is like a small novel in the 'My ride' section but I figure that is what that thread is for. For those who have a read I hope you enjoy it and also consider the comments I have detailed about various suppliers and products.

Cheers

Tony

awesome ride you have there mate. Have you ever thought of painting the wheels white, putting chev badges on and getting it lowered? Love the scoop.

it doesnt happen to have a maloo body kit on it does it? cause i know one of my mates bought an ss fifty that had been painted yellow and he sold it a while back..

[jc_sv8]

Yes, it has a Maloo body kit on it. It WAS a great paint job... Hopefully the pics will make it through the process.

You can see why I picked it up as a repairable writeoff...

Pretty much the whole lot will be up for sale soon (except LS1-T56/loom) as I need some space to make way for the project car!

[brindal]

yeah i know that ute.. it belonged to my mate and then he sold it and since he sold i saw it on a triple d cruise i think. its had a hard life from what i've seen.

[jc_sv8]

Did he have any work done to the motor?

I have only started it a couple of times and it runs fine. Oh and Google is a marvelous tool, I found this...

[XUV]

[brindal]
