Well the day has finally arrived, I've got a car that might actually go somewhere soon(ish).
Before I start, I have some thank yous to get out of the way. Big thanks go out to:
Matt - for hanging onto the car for me till I could go up and get it
jNine and Craig - taking the time on a weekend go take me up to pick it up
Bru33y - Big thanks to you, for stripping the old VR heaps!
Thats it for now I think, so onto the car itself....
It's a VL excutive 5 speed manual, the RB30 motor etc etc.
For what I paid, I actually think it's in pretty good nick, just needs a good facelift and a bit of work to get the engine running smoothly. It does go, just runs a bit rough. It'll need a new dash, and a few other interior bits, it came with a Group A front bar and a LE rear bar, the front bar just needs a bit of repair work. It's got like 350,000k's on the clock...:O: so it's been around a bit. The paintwork is a bit rough, but from a distance it looks ok, I eventually planned to get it resprayed anyway. It's a bit lower than normal in the arse end
I've started cleaning it up inside and the engine bay, and put a couple of my VS calais rims on one side, just to see how it looks. Here's some pics, the first 8 pics are before I touched it, the last 2 are after a bit of cleaning/new rims.
