So, I've been doing some photoshopping, seeing what my car will eventually look like in a nice blue over silver. I'm definitely not the greatest photoshopper, but you get the idea!
Thoughts?

very clean mate, the paint looks so nice in the photos, keep the red mate, you don't see many factory red vl's going round.
sits pretty nice too, killer first car bud.

I was thinking about it before, what might be better is just to fix up the dings and rust, then get it resprayed the same red again, just all fresh again..
much cheaper to do this too!

yeah I've had a look, they seem pretty good..
I'm pretty good at eBay window shopping.
Need to get my gearbox sorted first, dad reckons it's better to spend the extra money and get it reconditioned than buy a used one..
He's going halves with me though, so that's roughly $250 from me, seen them on eBay for $500 so it's all good!
My problem is that I'm good at spending the money, I just have no way of making it at the moment!

Mate I know your pain hahaha....
Very clean VL here, I'm also a fan of the factory red here, looks ace! Awesome first car.
Nice pick up (being 5SPD as well), really want to do a manual conversion on mine now now haha... It'll come with time
Look forward to seeing what else you do with her mate

Do it, i only got a s/h one and im a bit sceptical as to how long that will last to. And when your on your p's man that second hand gearbox will break fairly quickly, ill almost gaurentee it
If it's only a small amount for the reco i'd do it. Problem i had it was 1700 to recondition a box cause mine was stuffed or it was only like 450 for a second hand with 6 months warrenty. So i could go through 3 gearboxes instead of that one lol
