Mitch's 94 VR Berlina
Gday guys. I've been reading these forums for a while and decided it was time to put up a thread for my Berlina.
First of all my name is Mitchell, I'm 19 and this is my first car.
My grandfather bought this car brand new back in 1994 and owned it up until January of last year, when he then handed it down to me. It was kept in pretty good condition and had done about 175 000k's when I got it.
Since I acquired the car the mods have been minimal, although I have spent a bit of money on the mechanical side of things to keep the thing running =D. I wanted to keep the car somewhat stock looking, something different to the typical P Plate Commodore you see around.
Now for the details:
Model - VR Berlina
Year - 1994
Odometer - 199 000
Colour - Genesis Blue
Motor - Buick 3800 V6
Transmission - 4spd 4L60E Auto
Diff - Stock 3.08 Single Spinner
Exhaust - 2.5" Redback catback with resonator
Wheels/Tyres - 15x7 Interceptors with 225/60/15 Bridgestone RE001 Potenzas
Suspension - Stock
Interior - Stock Berlina Interior, black venetians, UHF
--------------------------------------------
Heres some pictures of when I first got the car:
Complete with lambswool seatcovers:
Those pictures were taken back in January 2010, not much has changed aside from a few subtle things (Clear side indicators, VS grill inserts, etc).
I've got pretty much every receipt for the work which has been done on the car lol:
Original purchase receipt:
Imagine paying $37 000 for a VR!
So that's pretty much my car. Future mods which I want to do is lower it slighty (leaning towards Lovells Sports Lows), 15x7 interceptors and an 80L fuel tank.
Heres a couple of the chasers I managed to get:
I also got some chrome centre caps and chrome dress trims:
They're not perfect but good luck finding a set that are :0
The wheels are all getting repainted at the moment, gonna be time to fork out for some bigger rubber once they are ready to go
Heres the 80L tank I managed to get for a bargain on eBay, complete with everything for the conversion:
It's going to be painted silver (probably hammertone) with black straps, for a change...
Well I think that's enough for the time being, let us know what you think
