    Default the vh

    thought i'd put a couple pics of the vh up to show that it does actually exist.
    nothin to special just a tidy up, custom paint, mild engine mods.
    not much to look at yet, the paint was just finished today. still uncut.
    accept all critisism good or bad...

    no, its on the side i want it on, so it can't be on the wrong side

    the story goes that i had a vc (hence my name) That i built from a shell, as my daily, that was stolen and written off.

    a mate had this shell sitting on his property and gave it to me with the premise that i build the car i always wanted the vc to be.

    so the plan is for just a tidy cruiser, with a little bit of custom mixed in. the paint you can see.

    the engine is a blue 3.3 with a weber 34 adm, strackers, mild head work, custom grind cam, and thermo. nothin to serious, just fun.

    i have a full sl/x interior, which i picked up for 50 bucks.

    just tryin to raise funds for the lowered suspension and brake upgrades.

    guess it mut be time for an update..
    the paint i cut and buffed, but still needs going over with a good polih for protection and to make it really pop. doe any one have any uggestions?
    the engine i in and running, got a sweet note with the cam and tractors, and the webber lets it fire almot instantly.

    had some dramas getting it going in the first place, warning all young players: CHECK YOUR INLET FOR HIDDEN BIT BEFORE INSTALLING!

    it sucked a small peice of metal into number 6. thankfully i managed to pull the head and save the engine in time with minimal damage.

    the in terior is mostly in, gotta fix a few bits and give it a thorough clean before i post pics of that tho.

    all windows are in, and she's almost there.

    gotta build the gearbox, sort some steering, and finish off the interior, and she'll be on the road.

    lowered suspension and pretty wheels will have to wait till funds allow, as i'm broke.
