well, do the paint up so its a nice neat car, other than that sound system? i personally would just turbo it now!!! but other wise start buying turbo set up maybe? so bang as soon as you can drive with turbo, bang you got a nice setup Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

this thread is WIN don't spend it on a VL... mine has cost me a ****load and is still a ****box which i'm scared to take to work because it likes to have weird problems (snapping dizzy was the latest thing) save it, invest it and get an XR6 Turbo

but seriosuly. i'd save the money bloke. ive got my hj gts that i save my money for, my vp 100% stock. Keep the 2 k you got, your car drives. You could blow 2 k on ****, the next day you do a box or other parts then your chasing your tail trying to find money. for now, simply just put it aside.
