For the first time in many many years my car has seen the freeway.
I brought this car last year as pretty much a run down, rolling shell from somebodys paddock. Its far from finished but I got it to a stage where It can be driven so I took advantage of the public holiday and the lack of traffic and drove it to work.
50k's later.. I made it! :) :)

Jason: I just had somebody drooling over it then (ive left it at work). No offers yet though lol
Dave: That is probably why, I snapped them up ;)
Its the standard colour, New safari red i think its called. I havent touched the paint yet. It needs a good buff. ideally new paint. I just had my daily completly resprayed and that has turned me off getting this car done due to the dramas I had with it :(

After reading the V4/V5 thing, I thought it would be as simple explanation as that! I really do like the mesh wheel look and have been
eyeing out these V5's on ebay

I may sacrifice my SHP 8's & 9 for them!
BTW I believe Hoony has the Versa style Simmons on her car!
