Hey, guys.
Just putting up some pics of my sl. no big story with it. It was my grandfathers and he gave it to me as my first car. (I drove it and my dad's v8 vn on my L's) It's been garaged it's entire life so the paint is still perfect.
The only things that have been done to it is power steering, 2 1/4 cat back, pacemaker extractors, king springs, 18's, and a tacho
Here it is:
^^i wish my bed was as comfy as this seat^^
^Only rust spot i could find on the outside^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

it was rust, i had to touch it up.
well.. the paint was like chipped away and it was all brown, maybe it wasn't rust, but i don't see how it could get chipped there

ya gramps mightve been putting something big in the boot and smacked it on the side, I've seen chips in that spot often. but if thats all the rust in the vl you'll be cheerin!

almost looks real if you ignore the stripe, lack of a chrome strip, the drum brake rear and the lack of a side skirt
