WHOA!!!! Thats insane mate, and i am not 1 to like VL's, but thats awesome. Paint work looks incredible!
haha cheers guys - you'll have to throw up a pic of your background so I can have a look. We just had our SC Cruise 4 Charity event so I should have some more pics fairly soon. On saying that, its probably the alst event the car will see until its back with its new engine and gearbox etc - and if $$$$ permit interior as well So i'll keep yas posted Thanks for the compliments
Cheers for the compliments guys - I've just taken it back from the panel shop with a bit more work done including deleting the aerial, shaving passenger door lock, colour coded door handles and flat fuel filler flap as well. They also resprayed the whole front end, I had the factory headlights reconditioned and a new front LE lip fitted (old one wasnt the greatest). Interior is stock Calais SII at the moment, will be going full custom in the next 12-24 months New random pics from our C4C5 event
Thanks Benji I'm getting pretty close now to getting the 2nd motor built so I'll hopefully be able to show a fully detailed engine bay soon with a pretty decent engine it there
that interior is also imaculate uve done a real good job keepn it mint do u drive it alot or is it just a cruizer
thats one awesome colour. and it just looks so good. not one particular part stands out. the whole package looks good. well maybe the speakers in the front doors stand out
Cheers for all the compliments peoples Yeah she's a cruiser at the moment - its being built as a quick street car - but that interior will be getting removed and replaced with custom gear Chris yeah I'm looking forward to it getting finished (are they ever?) bu its taken some big steps as of late so things are really progressing. And leave my yellow speakers alone lol - they're a quality speaker so it makes up for it
