The trick in all these upgrades or modifications is keep records for the cops
who might want to see heaps of paperwork for inspection and do a minimum
number of hours a week and it will progress, there is always a chance of
getting despondent or depressed if there are hiccups but if you can give it
a minimum time each week almost like a fixed appointment then things are much
easier to progress and you raise your sense of accomplishment too,
takes focus though and hats off to you for continuing it
Cheers

@ bLuj3t - no worrys mate let me know how it goes ok
@ BrownVLSL - i almost gave up there before i painted it i wanted to get rid of it and buy a car with rego but i stuck with it and now its almost finished
@ Mike_M - theres no major modifications just minor rust repairs and rear window panel replaced and welded properly, even if they got in my boot they wouldnt know its been replaced
its been pretty hard to get work on it as im doing it up at my work (panel beater/spray painter) and i still have 2 work for money 2 spend on the vl haha circle of life, but when we have quiet weeks at work i put in the effort 2 get as much done as possible
all thats left 2 do to my beast is spray paint bonnet (which i might get done tomorrow), spray paint back doors, get some carpet, put vl seat rails on my vs seats and throw them in, buy a windscreen and glue it in and thats about it oh yea and buy some new bumpers and paint them
my m8's future car and his plates lol trent
