just thought ill post up some pics of my vr.
specs are as follows

stock as a rock as far as body and drive train etc
only modifications is the stereo and dash. DVD player with inbuilt gps and tv tuner. running through strong standard speakers and i have one 12 inch sub in the boot in a ebay special fiberglass box.
the dash is a level 3 unit with roughly the same amount of Kim's as the vehicle has done (15000km less) works a treat and must thank the boys and girls on the vr-vs section for there input and also the how too section, looking forward to be doing some more add ons later (IE. front fog lights etc)

i bought it for the sum of $500 with 6mths reg and 4 newish tiers from the dealership i work at, only draw back is the balance shaft Bering's or timing chain has let go and is making some noise. i have a second hand motor i have picked up with low Km's removed from a vehicle for a Manuel conversion (he got the motor and box together and put them both in) i plain to rebuild the original motor for a spar.

these cars are no longer worth anything so i may as well keep it and give it to the missus once she gets off her ass and gets her linces


pics......

nice pick up for the price mate. I would be happy with that.
Good work, i would chase that problem fairly quick though as it may cost you a lot more down the track!!!!

you would be suprised what you would get for a vs, their value sits around $2500 to $4000 depending on motor / quality so if you ever intended on selling it, dnt underestimate what you could expect from it
