Heres my project Vl '86 exec sedan. Its my first project car and its been fun and frustrating to get to this point which still is basically nowhere... I bought the car for $400 unregistered out of some guys yard. Since then a fair amount of work has gone into the body as far as straightening out dings and cutting out a little cancer. The main dings were in the rear side sections of the boot - where something had been rolling around in the back imprinting the sides of the car nicely. The majority of the rust was in the boot - around the spare wheel well and also in the corners of the body you can see just as you open the bootlid. The drivers door was 50% Steel 50% bog so that along with all the other doors were removed and now 3 of the doors are back on. The engine was in terrible cond so i pulled it out - It was full of water from a cracked head. Ive bought a second Vl for the engine and trans its a boring N/A with 5 speed manual trans. Money is tight so I had to settle for this. I dont know what color im spraying it in. Im getting a set of ROH Fury Shadow Chrome 18s off a mate so that will look shmick. Anyhow tell us what you guys think. Heres the pics-- Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
