Hey JC, IM BACK!

- 2 way sunroof
- Electrical windows
- Electrical mirrors
- Central locking, alarm, immobilizer
- VR SS seats embroided with "Calais"
- New carpet in car and in boot
- Very neat and tidy throughout

[SOUND]
- Almost have all the gear, ill update this when its in

[OTHER INFO]
- BIG powerful battery moved to boot
- Nice little air intake made and coated with heat resistant paint (will post pics later)

[THE BAD]
- Using way too much fuel and smelling like fuel? - http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vl-holden-commodore-1986-1988/171671-running-rich.html

yeah looks very nice on the outside.
Not sure if i like the white wheels just cos they clash with the silver/purple.

But the paint job looks awesome
Get some pictures of that interior up
