    Default VC Restoration

    my VC restoration

    have had the car since new - was in storage between about 2001 and 2009, then rebuilt inside and out.

    almost finished now - has a 6.3L LS3 and new interior with original paint restored in chardonnay gold and new 18inch wheels

    any suggestions or comments are welcome

    Mate - props to a fantastic restoration!! - I can appreciate all the hard work that's gone into it, and the attention to detail is simply AMAZING

    It's good to see that you've retained the original styling

    Would love to see some engine pics! especially around the steering rack area

    10/10.

    This is so nice mate, good work. I love the interior and the paint on it.
    But i agree, i want to see pictures of this menacing engine.
