dude low enough for the time being.
clean the engine bay and look for the leak out of the radiator bottle.
detail the pullies on the engine and plate for accelerator cable.
replace cover on fuse and get it airbrushed.
Do something about the pod and bottom of the air box, looks wrong.
put vp bonnet struts on it.
move the amps off the subwoofer boxes. the vibration can damage them.
Looks good on the outside.
rear lh tail ligt is going to get you attention of the blue fuzzy kind soon, it's fading.
rope is not the prefered method of holding stereo gear in.
you are well on your way.

Hey man,

Nice first car...

I didn't get to have my VN until my 4th car :cry:

As everyone else has already mentioned, Its nice and clean - just needs a few minor details tidied up and it'll be sweet.

I can't decide if i like the colour, It's strange. :)

It'll be interesting in black, put pics up once its done.

I probs woulda left it as it is (just cos its different) or gone silver lol.

Anyways - Congrats.

Yeah! Leave colour as is, ceptors on, and lower it so theyre juuuust tucking under the gaurds, maybe even a whitewall on the tyres.

That would be uber cool IMO.

To each his own i guess.
