Hey guys, finally got around to getting all the oxydisation out of the paint of my VL, waxing it and polishing it... truth be told, it hasn't looked this good in years!! lol. Pics arn't the best due to taking them at a really bad time of nite, but i'd just finished after 2 long days of rubbing and buffing, and wanted to get some pics up!! My VL: 1988 Berlina n/a 6 auto 230xxxkm champagne gold (or thats what i call it ) dark tinted windows lowered - superlow king springs whiteline adjustable panhard pedders comfort gas rider shocks Lukey extractors full 2.5in exhaust cat back with 3in chrome dump pipe tip 17in anz matrix's saas sports steering wheel custom built stereo thats about all i can think of at the moment... let me know what u guys think!! ush Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lowwered superlows springs does that mean u got them reset or just norm s/l's? good looking car btw

Looks nice mate. Can never go wrong with a good dark window tint!

Nice. What are your plans for it? You going to turbo it some time in the future?

I've owned her for almost 4 years (4 years in december) no real plans to turbo her, was looking at supercharging, but i think she'll just stay stockie and maybe one day (big dreams) might drop an rb25det with a 5spd into her...

Have you got any pics? very VERY oxidised... i didnt use a "cut compound" as such, i went to an auto paint shop and brought 3M professional formula one step cleaner wax MEDIUM Oxidation Remover Part No. 051131 (39066) then ontop of that i used 3M professional formula Premium Liquid Wax Part No. 051131 (06005) did it all by hand with 100% cotton cloth... And put in alot of elbow grease.. this is what it looked like straight after i washed and chamoied (sp??) it just before i started into the oxidisation, the bonnet, roof and boot were all pretty much the same, look at how bad it is!!!

I like my bars in the dark grey, my mate has a VL the exact same colour as mine with silver bars (little bit lighter than asteroid <custom colour repainted, kinda chromish...>) and it makes the gold look a bit funny in my opinion, i like how the dark grey sets out the champagne colour... thanx for the input on that tho guys and everything else, much appreciated!! keep it commin!! ush Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
