Humble beginnings
Cleaned up the car, after it served a hard life as family sedan.
Found some leather seats for 400 dollars in great condition but they really aren't that great, not all leather seats are created equal :/
Got a awesome mate of mine to detail the car.
Nothing much to see here, debadged the Poverty Pack Emblems hehe
Its hard to maintain, but man do I love Vespers Blue
New Wheels but looking really rough :bang:
VY Calais Front conversion under way
Glory Shots
Finally, the pesky black door moulds are off and Calais ones are on.
Calais Rear bumper on
Just editing some Great Ocean Road shots. Hopefully have them up soon.
