Yeah very true, I went through a recent respray with my VL and am having a hard time coming to terms with driving in the wet lol, I'll get there! Good to enjoy your hard work and not just stare at it! Loving the colour though, looks mad. Would love to see this thing at a cruise

was abit of a rush to get it ready towards the end few little things i still gotta do here and there, still alittle anoyed i couldnt get into vip cause thats what i was pushing for all year, only had one problem with the car at c4c and that was probably my fault temp sensor was unpluged somehow on the way home and the car overheated just out from cranbourne, found out the radiator cap wasnt on properly so fixed that then fixed the temp sensor wire yesterday and drove it for 3 hrs last night and seemed fine so im guessing that was it, gotta find someone to get me club rego now hopefully thats easy cause 2 regos isnt cheap when i only really drive one car and after this major build it should be %100 roadworthy now ANYWAY pickies lol C4C 2014 (http://s1103.photobucket.com/user/Kahnage25/media/IMG_10107420992359_zpse45b66b6.jpg.html) (http://s1103.photobucket.com/user/Kahnage25/media/IMG_25681387786106_zps0f645083.jpg.html) (http://s1103.photobucket.com/user/Kahnage25/media/IMG_10110421267018_zpseb7fa695.jpg.html) (http://s1103.photobucket.com/user/Kahnage25/media/IMG_10079915712817_zps2b7bd685.jpg.html) BigM22" cheers man, Would love to take it on more cruises but i only like going on ones with other 1st gen commodores but i never hear of any Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

To anyone interested in how I did my mirrors the product I used on the mirrors is a new product from autobarn called "meguires ultimate black" its $10 for a pack of 2 sponges and it already contains the formula in the sponge so you literally just wipe it on, the more coats the better it says but I just did 2 quick coats and it came up mint, couldnt find anything on the net about fixing the mirrors color so I just took a gamble and thought id be the first to try it lol ---------- Post added 09-12-14 at 22:12 ---------- Mirrors arent painted like everyone else seems to do as I dont like the look of gloss mirrors on a vk doesnt look right imo Heres a before and after again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
