Polish it up and give the rims a coat of paint and it would look nice. I gather the rear bar hasn't been fitted or is it an old pic?
I always wanted an Aus spec purely for the 240k speedo and cruise lol.

the ralliart badge looks good on there, I like white VR4s, and the rims suite the car perfectly

I was amazed to get something so original & in such good nick. The interior is spotless!!!
The radio hadnt even been used, was removed as they were Bretheran.

Unbelieveable thing is, on the way up to get it (Nathalia, VIC) about 1/2hr short, driving thru Shepparton; there was another totally stock maroon one on side of the road for sale!!!
I test drove it, but it was slightly more expensive, and happy with the white one anyway

Looks disturbingly like my last white one. Even down to where it's faded around the door frames.

Good luck!

Updated first post - more items added to the list of bits coming.

some current pics with foggies fitted & functional.

got my 4ws removed so its handling much more predictable; but as soon as one problem is fixed another rears its ugly head!
now my start motor is fuct - it wont even crank over, have replaced battery and get plenty of power & relay's clicking. but no cranking :( so im getting around pop-starting it haha fun times
