    If you change anything put some extractors on it, can pick them up for like $100. And don't add a pod filter! Looks clean hope you keep it to that standard, nice daily.

    planning on putting extractors about about the same time i do tint (couple weeks after my paint job) and yeah i find the idea of a pod filter a bit puzzling, more of a panel filter person haha cheers

    You know its grandpa spec when its got a tape deck with a graphic equalizer and a clock instead of a tach.

    I normally hate anything VL but it's nice to see a tidy unmolested example. thumbsup.gif

    Very nice except the interior color and steering wheel. I don't mind a decent vl and that is what you have mate so good luck with it and top effort. Glad to see its not gonna receive chopped springs, cut/dumped factory exhaust and a pod lol.
