Hey guys my name is Kris iam 17 and live in Preston the northern suburbs of melbourne. I have recently brought a VL BT1 Shell for $900 bucks, and yes it does need ALOT of work i thought id buy it because ive always wanted a bt1 and a project car and now i got one, its got pretty bad right panal damage but chassie is not bent either is the dash panal , the body is straight with pretty much no rust. heres a pic of the damage : It also has BT1 badge on the plate , Ash trays on all 4 doors , and A/c but no p/s nothing works yet tho. This will cost me some $$$$ for this project but iam working hard and cant wait to get this thing on the road. I have all the panals to fix the damage just need too find someone who would do it, Also the interior dash some parts r falling off like the glove box n so forth , under the steering wheel the panal thing is open and wires r everywhere also lol. Give it 7-8 months and this thing should b on the road just round when i get my p's so iam looking foward to it. In the future id also like to b running 11's , 10's with this thing but will c what happends i got alot of work in front of me N e wayz here are 2 more pictures of it and i hope CT can help me if i ever need it. Thanks Kris. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

welcome to the site mate- and congrats on your buy. its good to see someone restoring a cepta instead of letting it die or even buying a ready one from habib down the road. mate if you need anything along the way dont be scared to ask. also - take it from me , take your time and spend your money wisely, do it once, do it right. and that may mean spending a bit more money. cheaper is not always better all the best mate - i love it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
