    Car Lowered Front And Rear (Has Lifted A Bit Due To 17's)
    Small Crow Cam For High And Low End Proformance
    8.8mm Topgun Proformance Spark Leads Glossy Red
    LPG Specific Spark Plugs (May change back to the standard ones next time cause they seem work better)

    Security
    Solex Locks
    Central Locking

    Existing Current Damage
    Slight crack in grille
    2 Dings In Front Right Guard for same reasons above
    Double Sided Tape From Door Moulds On Passangers Side (leaving it there since its slowly pealing itself off to avoid causing any damage)(slightly hidden now due to VL Moulds which sit higher then VK moulds otherwise it would be covered)

    Pretty Good i rekon considering i brought it For $700 bucks and have only spend $3300 on it including buying and repairing it, Soon as i get a full time job this will come together so much faster.

    Im not bothering to do a conversion to v8 or manual anymore as i have decided to buy a new car in 2008 either another VN/VP Series 2 Calais 304 or a VQ Statesman 304 most likly.

    LPG install on the 26th of feb, so sometime in between now and then i will be taking my exhaust & extractors off my other vk and putting them on this one and changing the intake manifold cause i think the one in it now got a hole in it.

    Wouldnt bother putting a turbo on a 202, if you want a turbo, turbo a rb30. But you cant go past a v8 vk

    EDIT: Damn only took 2 hours to do, got it bak at 2, sounds nice even without extractors

    Looks nice, should be great when it's finished!

    Also, I couldn't help but notice what appears to be a WB Staesman in one of the pics, do you have a topic for it?
