    Default ///The Old Phoenix

    Ok little bit of a run down, My names Mathew, Im 17 turned 17 on the 9th of september this year, Had the car since March 28th 2005 Since I was 15. The car I received because both my father & mother are terminally ill and it was bought at that time without knowing how long either of them have left. Purchased for $2500 Including 12months reg & rwc, Since then it has had a full rebuild, pretty much shell up. I would post worklog photo's but just over a month ago pc died, lost 700+ photo's very disapointing so I have to start my photo collection again

    MmMmM Been thinking about that lately, was looking at prices for a Vn SS kit, front skirt addon, rear skirt addon & side skirts. Nothing too fancy but stick with looks. I love how the vn ss looks.
