    Default buddas $400 vl on gas ;P

    hey all... I bought this vl berlina (thats wat the badge said will check the tag 2moz) 4 only $400 i thought it was a good score. Its a little ruff but its fun 2 drive. It drives better than my other car (vs commo)

    Ok so far ive found on the car it has a 2 1/4in catback, some sort of 15x7in rims (if u know wat they are please tell me), stock crappy headunit, 6x9s on the parcel shelf but only 1 works, a cleaner engine bay than my vs, a non working horn but EVERY GLOBE WORKS bahahaha.... im sorry i thought it was funny.. well minus the high beams, I broke them already lol

    yeah the color is really nice, I like it. It is a shame about the paint. Its just 1 of thoes things u get with an older car and living near the ocean. I was gonna respray it a blue or green with the silver bottom like a calis but there is a sht load of vls like that so im gonna respray it the same color but instead of silver im gonna go that goldish champagne color. Then it should look sweet with the gold or back rims

    I think the colour could be Venetian Red. Typical VL quality paint though. Good start for a neat machine, I think

    lol i will.

    Just fixed up the interior more 2day. Resprayed the plastics gloss black and now waiting 4 more funds 2 get some vinal dye. Thinking about new seats 4 my vs so i might put the seats from the vs in2 the vl. Changing the steering wheel asap cause it is crap. Respray only a couple of months away. Looking at a 5 speed box 4 it at the moment.

    I found a airline in the boot 2day so i decided 2 c wat it did. So I grabed the pump out and pumped it up and found out it has pump up shockers on the rear score. But 1 of the lines has a leak cause after i took the pump off 1 side went down and it look like i had a really fat passenger. I took the driving lights off cause they are ugly and 1 was smashed.
    I cleaned it 2, found a tackle box, cross bar, 3 bottles of soft drink, ciggarett butts, another car key with a remote, and a glove box full of thoes kfc handwipes.


    Will get pics of interior 2moz sometime... im at the gfs house and about 2 play some games ;P c ya all

    Don't worry you still have the seat covers Nah it is a good pickup for 400 bucks and i dont think it is a berlina becuase it doesn't have berlina tailights but then again its a 20 year old car everything could be swapped around. So you could have a berlina with executive tailights.
    keep us posted bud
