    Default to build or not to build

    hey guys/gals
    ive got a little problem at the momment,i have a vn 1991 s-pac with vp v6 and 4 speed auto.
    i just got alot of money, and now im looking into a full re-spray with eaither an aero bodykit or re-spray & sound system and vn calais seats.looking at jet black with a red or blue pearl.
    but this is where my problem`s at.if i do all thows nice things to the car im affraid that someone would scratch it or throw eggs or sumthing to just crap me off.so on a voting pole do you all think i should follow my dream and make it shine.or should i just scrap it and move on?
    (also even if i get an alarm or camera,that really aint going to stop some people)
    so leave your messages and tell me your thoughts

    well I spose you cant let something like that deter you. My car very very nearly ended up in somebody elses hands this morning but my neighbour stopped them. If you dont build your dream car then thats all you wil have.... a dream car!!! I say go for it and be happy while it lasts
