Here's my new car guys. Its an 88 model It's a 5sp Manual drives like a DREAM and had a spray job about 4 months ago. It's got some 20's on it but need to get rid of them and get some ceptors for my roady ( Anyone got some cheapies? )
Anyways, My family weren't too happy with my picking it up and paying what I did for it and now having two cars and just finished school but I've worked hard and saved up so I'm absolutely loving it. Not to sure how I'm going to afford it though :P ... Oh and need to get my Manual license ASAP! Haha
Im trying to post photos now. Is Photobucket down or something?

Those wheels make it look like a monster truck lol Also, get rid of the Calais sideskirt i think it takes away from the car.
It looks like a very clean car, just chuck some ceptors with chrome trims on it and lower it abit and then you'll have a mint looking "BT1"
Also, any engine bay shots?

I'm not quite understanding how you go from a VL Calais to an XR6 back to wanting a calais and end up with a BT1 mockup? Very indecisive :P wish I had the money to do that. Still, very nice car none the less!

I've still got my Xr6 still trying to sell it to free up some cash. Don't know why I went and bought this but I saw it and fell it love! haha. Yeah I've been working full time lately so cash is rolling in nicely
Thanks mate, Yeah, I want to take the skirts off but it doesn't look like the guy sprayed it right underneath so I'm a little lost on what to do.

Yeah, deffinitely needs the skirts taken off, but if there not painted underneath them then you'll have to get the bottom part sprayed again

16-12-10, 15:26 GMT+10#10 Quick update - Changed the tires today. Got rid of my 20's and got myself some ceptors. Pretty awesome feeling turning a corner and the car not scraping...But ofcourse, driving home I had to have a flat tire haha. Fixed up a few other things today like horn, fuel gauge and little crap like that.
Next, I want to get rid of the sideskirts and get it sprayed underneath but I've literally got no money left so I'll wait a while. Still need to register it and get a roady so I'm hanging for my next pay day!

100% Agreed, only thing I would also do is maybe a grey rear garnish.
