if i told yous what it now owes me, you wouldnt believe me any way. Plus when the gtr head goes on and the lot is transplanted into the calais sedan with director interior after its been painted and suspension tricked up well its going to owe a hell of a lot. But I think its well worth it to make a vl enthusiasts wet dream come true.

Spent most of my money on Momo stuff for the interior and just for the Steering Wheel,Gear knob and pedals would almost be $1000. But ive roughly spent almost $3000 on it. But my VY 18s will cost $1600. And my Sound System is worth about $4000(It was in the car when I bought it)
