well havnt posted in a while figured id show whats been going on. after selling my vn ss i regreted from the moment it drove away! 3 hours later i found a vr calais in the paper and had to have a look! bought and drove back to albany within the afternoon! had my fun in it for 4 months and decided to sell it to fund another vn! found a really scummy 1! (which is what i wanted) to start from scratch.
So i swapped with cash adjustment with owner and now here it is, had aftermarket fuel pump, group a bodykit which i have now removed and going for a stock kit slammed on its ass, extractors, exhaust and is a roller motor according to the engine numbers. pics will tell what i have changed and is now in the stage of paint job and then finish up the interior and then suspension and brakes! only 17 so funding is hard but being a spraypainter makes this step easy.
body looks stupid at the moment but have faith in me :P dont judge till its painted just thought id throw it up now so u can see the before and after
