this will take a while to go through it all, but this guy did some VERY nice stuff, with his brand new Vauxhall VXR. talk about anal retentive.

he bought a BRAND new nurburgring edition VXR and spent countless days/hours/$$$ making it look 100X better than new.

also did a very nice ICE project, and did an amazing job on engine bay.

heres the thread..

now this is detailing

just click on the individual links in first thread instead of going thru all pages.. took me about an hour or so to go thru it all.

also, at the end, there is a pretty sweet cosworth (i believe) in the pics.

I would hate to be the first one to hit him or give him a door ding. He would probably kill someone after all that work.

While I admire his attention to detail hail.gif this guy it just plain crazy lmao.

Waxing the calipers and springs? Wow!!

I really like the strut tower covers and all the custom machining he did.

I could never do that and then drive the car on a dirty road hahah.

It belongs in one of those all white hermetically sealed rooms they build computer chips in. laugh.gif

Give a warning for the pics next time it laged and froze my comp for 5mins, anyways that guy is insane.

Is he ever gonna drive it?!

All that effort and I bet some old lady at the market will back into him or a stray shopping cart will f*** him over.

It does look very good, but there is a such thing as overkill.

2. Dude needs a girlfriend....

3. I'm going to go detail the Tib.....
