Alright guys this is our 1990 vq 5 litre it was all original when we got it from our grandfather and it had been sitting for 6 years just being started every couple of days.Ive just put a couple pics up as the before pics cause its going in on the 13/1/14 to get a full respray and all chrome is getting cleaned up.Weve got all new headlights,indercators,tail lights and rear garnish to put on once its painted.Its got a 70mm tb mace cold air intake and memcal also putting on pacemakers/twin cats and probably just a single 3'' exhaust, Were keeping the venitions in it but will change the wheels if we can find some that suit and we'll lower it, Ill post some more pics once its all painted so you guys can see a before and after,Any suggestions on wheels are more than welcome

Went to the paint shop just before to drop off lights and garnish and the vq seems to be coming along very well. The painter says it should be complety primered tomorrow, the boot and bonnet were taken back to bare metal and are in primer at the moment. Ill hopfully get some pics up tomorrow of it in primer for anyone that's interested in seeing how its going.Cant wait for it to be done cause it will be strait off to the exhaust shop for a full system after that its fix the ac and put a stereo in it and then just cruise it around.

Looks great, love the wheels, I had a set on my stato (they were polished which makes them look even better) but they met a pothole :(
