hey people just been trying really hard to get my beast on the road again (been off for 2 years). thought i might share her with ya.
well all started when i lost my license for a while. didnt have anything else to do and hard heaps of spare cash so it went into building the vl. I was workin on the mines for 3 months so rocked up some cash and bought a 26dett and rebuilt it. after a while of doing it i came to the point of no money again so i sold her and started just modding the original rb30 which i kept. until then its been pretty quick progress. almost everything has been pulle off once and replaced or cleaned.
anyway heres some stats.

LE bottom half in asteroid
17" mags
superlow springs with adjustable panhard
3:45 lsd v8 disc diff
VT twin piston fronts

the silver skirt then the coloured door and then the silver bump strip along the door just looks a bit wrong, where as it would look fine if colour coded, or if you had silver calais panels under the bump strips.
otherwise, keep up the good work.
