    Hey guys, this is my 94 VR6. Has actually seen a lot of work since coming into my posession.
    Bought it with some front and rear end damage. Ive replaced front radiator support panel, replaced damaged rad with larger aluminium unit, reinstated aircon.
    Repaired and resprayed most of front end and boot lid. Fresh pads and rotors all round. Fitted the (sadly rep) RS' (16x8 +25 front, 16x9 +20 rear). Fresh seats all around (clean and untorn other than drivers).
    I have a euro lip coming this week, not 100% sure where to spend my money after that!? Haha! Thoughts, ideas, opinions welcomed.

    Pretty.

    Only thing I could suggest is trying to fit a set of foglights (OEM or aftermarket) into the blanking plates next to the indicators on the front bumper.

    Looks mint man, love the colour
    2 questions if you don't mind.
    Where'd you get headlights?
    and
    How much work did it take to get your aircon back up and running? I had a very similar crash experience last year and fixed it all but still haven't gotten around to diagnosing the air conditioning and looking to what needs to get fixed.
    Mk3 2.0. Mk3 VR6 CC. Future Mk2?

    Thanks guys! I'm actually fitting a pair of kamei vents into the blanking plate spots!
    Just replaced damaged condenser and took it down to my local auto electrician who checked the system for leaks and re-gassed it for me

    No way I can't believe I found it. I own this car now. Looks a little different now though. Since I have to get it re-registered in WA. Dude are you the guy who owned it in Tasmania?
