ok thought id post up a thread about my car finally its an early model vl berlina, auto,224,000 km, extractors ,2.5 exhaust with a 3' dumpy and a clarion sound system, absolutely rust free and has mint interior too heres some pics of when i first got it haha was dumped on cut springs but not for long put some stockies with tread on it, and put some stock springs in it ,front was a bit of stuffing around but got there in the end (front looks higher because my driveway is not level) cleaned the engine bay, also painted the the manifold letters and lines red and polished around it BEFORE AFTER put some vt hubcaps on as the stockies were looking like crap, made it look nice as then took the hubcaps off and painted the wheels silver again, managed to find a really nice silver (its actually cheap chrome paint from super cheap auto, but comes out a nice silver ,not to shiny...) gave her a minor cut n polish and put some interceptor caps on i then de-badged the commodore and holden badge BEFORE AFTER gotta hate that white burn mark on my right tail light was like that when i got it. might get some vk calais or vk berlina taillights but not sure here's some more random pics, one of the steering wheel i put on nice looking seats and centre console my boot ,pretty basic but it sure has got some kick that's about it for now guys will see what happens when i get my p's in month, planning on putting super lows in soon and new shocks and doing a custom boot, in the near future as well, might even get a shift kit for it WOO L plates!! so yeah feel free to post up your thoughts and suggestions or what ever will be happy to hear from people, cheers Aace Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice VL mate, I'd just replace that one tail light with another original Berlina one. Keep it looking neat and original. You also should consider going manual if you are going to keep it n/a as they go a lot better than the autos.
