Hey guys. Well this is my project. I'm 18 and it's my first car. I saved up.. n up n up for the LE kit, calais eyelids and the paint. Now she is a nice clean, reliable NA. Since if had her if lowered her with KYB shockies and Low Kingsprings. I'm getting a full 2.5" Lukey with extractors next week, rims will be comming soon, and some nice seats coz the stock ones will destroy my back.. then the engine work begins. Any sugestions or comments are welcome. Cheers guys, VL Pride!! Here's some pics. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey mate that is a beautiful car but is really being let down by those tail lights, get some berlina black taillights with a black garnish and she will look a million times better! Also a dumpy exhaust tip would be great! PS i like the idea of black wheels Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Agreed. Black garnish and VK Berlina tailights and it will look schmick. Black window frames and front bar reo wouldn't go astray either. But on a positive note.. Love the LE kits! And black rims are gonna look tough! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
