yacobwood 0 Posted May 13, 2011 Petrol will have all dried up and a 2.9 gigawatts engine will have to be put in :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted May 14, 2011 any ideas what model stereo it should have its the only thing missing . The Storm came specifically Sony CDX600DSP as per the special sales brochure. If you really want one of these, your best chance is on the German Ebay. Thats where I eventually found mine, as my Storm had been upgraded with a Sony Radio/Cassette & CD Jukebox by the original owner at the initial sale from the dealers. .

DEL VR6 0 Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Kiddha Paul. Hope you got my picture of the gamma? That may only have been for the standard vr6. Not sure what the storm vr6 came with. Get some pictures up of your car! Here's mine: Edited June 10, 2011 by DEL VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myfirstcar 10 Posted June 10, 2011 ahh cheers mate i am so glad i got hold of you ... i have just sourced a deck the same as yours ... and i think its more keeping with the car ... i plan on having the car in a good state by the end of next week but then i thought whilst i got it in bits i am gonna do the old wax oil job everywhere as well ... our colours are very similar ..yogi and rupes vr6 is the same colour as well .... roof strips are next on the shopping list .. i dont know if i enjoy the cars as much as the shopping for bits.

DEL VR6 0 Posted June 11, 2011 Paul, get some pictures up on here of the beast. (That means your VR6, not you posing in the mirror) Look forward to seeing it. Where is the car at the moment? Still in the bodyshop? Did you have any rust around the windscreen? PS, that picture I sent you via text was a photo of the brochure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myfirstcar 10 Posted June 12, 2011 hey del me and junior was detailing all the rubbers in the garage last night i managed to find some really good condition ones ... i ll stick some pics up when its out the garage as it ll be more fun ... did you know white vinegar is the best stuff about to clear old dust and muck of painted parts ... i did all the door shuts and all areas the lights cover ... quite satisfying knowing its all clean inside and out ... was gonna wax oil it all up as well before refitted bumpers and stuff and i might not refit the door bump strips as i think the lines are ace with out .. .
