Money spent on vehicle so far: $500
Future Mods:
- Respray (Full respray, tempted to keep the same halfcast scheme).

- Engine bay clean-up (Self explainatory really, just clean it all up and make it look nice).
- Cam (Of course).

- New diff.
- Pacemaker extractors (Still has stock manifolds).
- New VY front bar.
- OTRCAI and tune.
- Chrome door handles (Interior and Exterior).

Notes: Not really a car I want to crunch dyno numbers or 1/4 mile speeds. My objective for this car is to clean it all up and be proud of it. I want the engine bay to look mint, I want the exterior of the car to look professional and just something to be proud of, whilst keeping a half factory look

(I welcome negative and positive feedback, IF it is negative, please make it constructive).

Tom.

Nice sterio set up mate the only bad thing i hav tO say is get rid of the vy front end imo it looks very mis matched with the rear of the car and maybe go a vt ss front end u cant go wrong with an ss front end imo but good work so far mate

Some VY mirrors would set it off nicely. and maybe some series 2 rear lightS?

I personally didn't do the front end. It was sold to me like that, but I am aware he had trouble passing pits with it as it needed more front end mounts or something.

-UPDATE-

Got some nice new accessories in the mail today. Got my new air vents and some new o2 sensors, let's hope for better fuel economy
