    Ok updated now with pics, gotta get some new ones up though once i take some as my car is dirty in all of these :P.
    The VR was makin loud noises for a while and running low oil pressure, my guess is engine bearings but it eventually died completely.

    When i first got mine, i almost threw up at the sight of the interior, and swore i would rip it out within 15 seconds of getting home.

    In the end i realized only 300 International owners, and limited VR Caprice owners have this interior, so i stuck with it.


    Great choice of car, not so great choice of rims, but we already established that on msn haha


    V85000i, i wont be any competition, i don't post threads about my car anymore.

    my interior is tan (no black) and i don't mind it, better than plain old grey or black or blue. but finding interior parts for them is hard.

    You just have to have the right friends on msn. Dude comes on the other day and offers me his old seats and trims for $150.
