I bought my Vl in july last year wrote it off 18 days later (my fault!) Then spent 6-8 months of hard work and money swapping the imacculate engine interia and various body parts, Full respray that i could see my reflection in and i did myself. Registered it finally on jan 28. Then an hour ago some ass decided to run up mine while i was contemplating a right hand turn. ITS GONE WRITTEN OFF only insured for 3500. MY MASTERPIECE that i created is screwed Well im gonna try to save up for a VLCT with my pay out, maybe ill get to keep the wreck? what you reckon? Anyways im gonna go have a cry Glenn ps, if you know any one that has a spare vlct, that they no longer want and are wantin to give it away, give them my number lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Na man Racv are shhit If I want the car back I have to go and bid for it at Tullamarine and im not going out there to buy my own car back. Anywayz the car is mangled Ill post some pics when i get them developed all the doors moved I got quotes for like $5000 to fix. Whole car is BENT and needs to go on a rack. They hit at 70kmh in a 50 zone (while i was stationary) ***cin mo fo. And No IM NOT AT FAULT that is like the only good thing bout this crash! Panel beater said wreakers will be bidding up to $1000 :'( cos the engine only has done 140000 the whole front is brand new 2 months ago and the interia is 100% perfect. I just gotta think at the end of the day, It was just a car. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

heres what i think you should do if you aren't overly wealthy. - get ya 3500. save a bit more then you should fine a decent n/a calais. - From there you will have a nice daily driver. - save again until you can afford a vlt engine (1000-3000) - if the above isn't viable (financially), source some vlt parts one by one from here, and go the conversion path... Good luck mate, its about time you got some.

mmm damn ey man, i wrote mine off 2 wednesdays ago The one in my avatar. It was so nice and it was my fault i rammed into my mates nissan pulsar at like 100kmph. I was so sad, but as long as u come out of it healthy, its all good. Cars can be repaired but lives cant. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
