Some better pics uploaded. Also installed clear indicator lights, just because its not common enough already...

Still can't start the car, but that's another story.

Hi Cheb

That's a really nice clean VH and a terrific start for a neat street car. Keep us updated with the changes.

yeh pretty good bad choice in colour of carpet looks nice but will get very dirty but the car is in sick condition good start for a project

So a little update. The car is starting but blowing some smoke. I'll need to change the oil this weekend. Also i've put my 18"s on the car (i'll upload some photos tomorrow) and it looks way better.

The car does not turn off, so i gotta fix the ignition thingy, don't know how to do it yet but i'll work it out.

Here are the wheels on the VH. The paint work on this car is near mint, i'm so hesitant to sand it down it would be a shame.

The interior is a mess as well. And my ignition barrel is stuffed up. I'm going to be looking at restoring the interior completely but will keep it the same color.

Looks better than a red one as it is?: )

The colour is growing on me, maybe i will leave it at that and fix the little rust spots. But i'll see how i go with it, maybe next year i'll change my mind.

mate , that thing is nice, i would keep that color for now. if you ever do the motor, work out what color you want then when you can spray the engine bay first. definately keep posting pics, im just about to start a clean up on my burgandy VH SLE, same deal as your, needs carpet, the paints not bad but use a spuce up and just real little things. I can help you out with MOMO gear if you want and ive got a set of beige SLE doortrims, handles, console and stuff if your interested.
keep Cruizn with the project
