well sold the vl a lil while ago to endavour try and get a house, then a member of ct had to tempt us all by putting this up for sale xmas eve.. anywho a deal was struck and now i own it.. details: 2001 vx ss tiger mica factory sunroof auto gen 3 145000 kms as i got the car there was alot of body work needed ( enter josh ) , electrics were'nt working, no rims, no interior, no exhaust NOTHING and i mean literally NOTHING, car was only gd for its driveline... so over the last couple weeks iv been gathering all the parts needed from headlights to genuine foggies n interior n ehaust to complete the car.. not far off now and its almost ready for paint.. day i got it puttn the mrs to work haha rims goin on it every body part and interior part has been sourced and she also sports a complete 3i x-force system + a set of HSV extractors, so next couple weeks should hopefully see her with new skin and a new set of shoes!

I kept all my toys while buying a house! it is possible believe it or not haha Anyway in your project travels, i'm still chasing a stock LS1 for when i need to get rego as i got no chance with the cammed engine I reckon you should keep it when you're finished, however at the low purchase price, good profit could help your house deposit easily! How long you lost your license for this time?

How long you lost your license for this time? tru, but im not selling to fund the house, more of a friendly transition into more family orientated car.. house is already approved tru profit is to be had, but pls do consider im still yet to 1: paint the car 2: replace the diff 3: get tyres for 19s 4: front windscreen 5: chase up all the lil fiddly bits that cost $$$ oh yer and thats not even driving the car yet, who knows, could have it all finished and something is totally wrong?? also car has cost me in excess of 4k already including asking price then add up the list above!!
