Hey.
My Names Jake im 17 and I own a 88 VL Berlina which i have owned for almost a year n a half now. It prety much standard just got some mags, Tints etc. Done 145,000ks.
Thought i wod finally put up a thread afta browsing around the site for ages. Some pepole my have seen my car on Just Commodores where im called VL'NZ.
Future plans are turbo, Manual conversion and hopefully a paint job this year.
So tips on colour ideas would be great also does anybody have any Calais side skirts i could buy?
