I spewed a little looking at those pics. You could clean it up, but it would be a lot of work to make it something id been seen in public in. And people who know me know I dont have very high standards

only way you can clean that car up is with a full jerry can and a match

My feelings are the same from the other eBay VL thread...
Buy it, stick a cometic headgasket on it, ebay top mount manifold with a stock T3 turbo, dose pipe and a 15" Rampage subwoofer from Supercheap...
Drive it down to your local HJ's on a friday night, grab a bacon deluxe burger & onion rings and let all the 14yr old locals take photos for their Facebook...

Hmmm... it could clean up. Youd have to weigh up youre options.. if you got it cheap it could be worth it. It does have s2 calais seats.
Id put some stocker bumpers and door bars on it sprayed silver. If youre handy with a spray can you could do it yourself for cheap.
Replace or respray the interior. Itll need new door trims... could spray the all plastics a grey to match the seats or even black... its all about your taste... lets hope it better then the previous owners!
It says it comes with stockers.. if theyre chasers just spray them up silver with some center caps and itll be a neat cruiser.

21-01-11, 22:05 GMT+10#16 lol @ that price list. it would definitely not cost $30,000 to turn it into something decent.
$5000 alarm? you may as well hire chuck norris to stand guard.
$5000 could buy you a much better cruiser than this car would ever be for alot less hassles...
in short, don't buy it.

$5000 will only get you Chuck Norris's picture on the car...that's enough deterrent.....
