Looking good and nice plans for the future. I like how it is a "sleeper" with the stock CL badge still in place

Very clean, Where did you visit in Japan for parts? Heading back over again this year and keen for some MK3 goodies.
Also thought about going VR 5 stud upgrade?

Keen to see some work on this.
I helped with the head a few owners ago.
Does rear muffler still fall off the hanger?

Hey dude, we visited euromagic/voomeran in osaka and we got really lucky with finding some more little bits n pieces at Upgarage
but you never know man you could find stuff we missed lol
and yes i have thought about going 5x100 but i will see how i go, lots of cool wheels in 4x100 but if i do a brake upgrade il move over to 5x100 hubs

Thanks dude
i think you might be mistaken with who's car this was
james and nick bought the CL from a guy in Sydney for cheap with a 1.8l auto in it ( bloke didnt know what he had ) james and nick bought a VR in the same colour and 4 door as a parts car for the vr6 and the box motor had been rebuilt as well, james and nick also did the swap on the motor and trans and was finished off by Matt at camden for the immo delete and driveshafts. so the car hasnt even been rego'd or driven properly since the swap was done and even since I've bought it, I've driven it twice and hopefully should rego it this week in time for vits, you coming dylan ?

When the motor was in the 4 door.
Talking before Nick and James and before Dean who had it before them.
Even know the two owners of the vr before that
Yeah will be at Vits, hopefully you can bring the two door
