Thought I'd put up some recent pictures of my VH SL/X 5 Litre. Had it for a few weeks now.. prob near on a month.. she's the cleanest VH i've seen round here for a long time and is one wicked cruising commode.
I've got a folder bout an inch thick of reciepts for things done on the car down to every nut and bolt and moulding.. will put a more detailed write up, up soon. Here's a few pics i took today after polishing up the outer rims and giving the car a once over with a dust free cloth.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks very neat... well done.
And love the rims... had them on my brothers SL/E before he was offered allot of money for them, and decided to sell.. then he pinched my 17's.
