Pats new VR acclaim S2 (NOT DIAL_UP FRIENDLY)

[phat_com]

hey ladys n gents,
well i needed a cheap run around car as i am getting my P's again (finally) and wanted something decent, a holden badge and something that would hopefully last a bit. Well this is what i have found (and snapped up)...Its a Vr acclaim series 2 (ABS, IRS)

I have been annoying my mate to sell me this car for about 6 months now (4 of which he didn't drive it) due to the fact i knew how its life has been and the plates. (YSS.345 ) Well he swapped another mate of ours for his VP calais as he has bought a kitted, worked 5spd vn that needed parts.
So they did the swap, and the Vr sat the until my mate offered him $350 for it back, and the deal was done my mate chris owned the vr then told me it was mine for $400 .

OK back to the car...Its had a rebuilt engine fitted (by me and chris) that is fresh thats 10k old! has the IRS n ABS fitted, dirty interior, lots of dents down 1 side, but other than that is what i wanted and at an awesome price

PICS TIME...






PLANS...

New auto or hopefully manual box
aftermarket chrome, black, frosted tail lights
Replace door and guard that are dented
Filler all the little dents DONE
2nd clear indicatior - DONE

Calais/statesman/vp calais international full leather seats
Install my sound system DONE
Add some go fast-er bits to the engine and full fluid, oil, fuel, ignition/spark service
Some random "pretty up" bits (pretty up is my misses term lol )

DOWN THE TRACK...
