I already have plans to retrim the interior, lower it, put on some centreline wheels. Ive also been thinking about dropping a chev in. It has a baby V8, ill just potter around in that for a little while.
Dont worry, as soon as i get pics ill put them up in here for you, i know how much you like coupes lol.

So, either i do the interior and paint the VL, or drop my running gear in an early girl. God damn cars
Keep the pics coming
On a VL forum u will most likely get a biased response, but i think its obvious, TORANA!!!!! people say its been done a lot but how many do you see around compared to VL's?

lol
its not gonna be a showcar or anything special, purely BURNOUTS!!!
thats all, burnout car, and easternat car
we might be getting another HQ, only a coupe, and swapping drivetrains between the two, and having the coupe immaculate streetcar with a monster 350 in it, and swapping back to the 4 door for the nats ****around car
oh and btw.... put the 308 in the coupe, much tougher that way, at the moment you've got the better lookin car with the smaller motor in it, it makes no sense lol
