    anyway a week ago i inspected this car and put a deposit on it,

    since then checked the VIN number with HSV and its genuine, checked it with vic roads aswell, no finance owed on it, not stollen and never been written off..

    senator? lol i never was gonna get a senator!!!!

    i was considering reshelling the vn but i decided i wanted to move on, sold the v6 motor + turbo+ trans last week...

    its pretty loud for a stock exhust :) got a nice note to it, and as far as i can tell is in good running order! (no burning bearings or smoke out rocker covers, no gunk anywhere etc no bubles out radiator, sumps a bit messy but its dirt build up not a big oil leak
