    tell me about it, the VL isnt even close to the VY except for the front bumper and headlights.

    The merc is amazing, so much effort would've gone into fabricating that

    Yeah the bonnet and guards would need to be "made to fit".
    Personally they butchered a VL
    by putting an ugly ass front on it.

    Yeah, fabricating mounts .. nah I know what kind of work there would be, rewiring the headlights and indicators, cutting the panels, it also looks like he's got the interior in there judging by the seats but I can't tell much else
