    Default JD's 1993 VR Executive (Series I)

    Watch this space! Frequent updates!

    I'm mostly wanting to use this to list any changes I make to the car (repairs AND mods)

    Sounds like (Low Quality): http://jeltel.com.au/jd/my93vr.wav

    As you can see from the attached image, My car looks pretty stock
    I'm more concerned about the interior of the vehicle than the exterior.
    The pic below doesn't show a graze on the front passenger door, the scrape on my bumper, or THE NEW SMASHED UP BOOTLID

    Seems nice and clean, and has a few goodies to go along with it. At least a few pain in the ass things have been replaced to save you hassle later

    Sure might seem it, But it's not really... as above a few external damages, but in time will likely have that fixed, you might also notice the roof paint is DEAD!
    But she treats me well :-)
