I swapped my old VP Exec for this ride, its a 94' VR Berlina V6 mocked up as a calais. Needs a fair bit of work, but im getting there. Its currently in my backyard slightly stripped ready to have old busted parts replaced with new sexy parts lol. This is what it looked like the day i picked it up.. I havnt done anything to it yet, besides spraying the dash facias, and niblies under the bonnet.. Making it look liek this I got bored at one stage an wanted to see how low i could get it, so i cut the bump stops, removed the rear spings and cut the front springs leaving 3/4 coils in then ripped the diff centre out, can gave it to my mate Craig's neighbour (Tool-Tech) to weld for me... then left it like that for about a month with constant driving. and i can tell you, it done more harm then good But this is what it looked like. Now that the reg has ran out, its in my backayd gettin goodies fitted. this is the current list of mods getting done for now:New Struts & Springs New Z-Shaped Link Pin Set Full Air-Con removal (dont use it) New radiator New alternator New Waterpump VT front slotted brakes New rear bumper bar (old one has tow bar section cut out) A long distance drop tank (sprayed silver with black supports) Once each part is brought i'll post pics of them and then again of them fitted to keep yas updated.. Meanwhile as i do the meachanic's side of the work my partner is re-upholstering the door trims, seats etc in black with Idian red finish. i'll post more updated pics tomoz when i have daylight.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
