Blackberry VR6 - Before and after

Recommended Posts

Well had my Blackberrry VR about 8 months now after giving up my much loved 16v

 

When i first got the VR it was in a right sorry state, all arches filled with rust, chains rattling like anything and pretty much just on its last legs. Since i've owned it ive had it resprayed, re-furb'd the engine as best i can, replaced two wings, cleaned out all the interior, fixed all the bodge jobs that the people have done over the years and i'm pleased to say that it's almost exactly as i want it (with help on bits and pieces from members on here of course such as lilfuzzer who lives round the corner)

 

And i've course i've treated the old beast to nice new set of wheels to go with it.

 

Got some new coilies coming soon to lower it a bit, some new headlights to get rid of those inpro ones and im still waiting for a rear boot plinth that i paid for from someone on here that still hasnt arrived 5 weeks later :( :(

 

Anyway heres some pics of what it looked like when i first got it and what i've done with it since then

Hey - I've got L691 RLG (a Flash Red 2.0 16v) - they must have been registered pretty much on the same day! :)

i think people who save corrado's from imminent death should be given some kind of medal, or at the very least a certificate or gold star. Big thumbs up from a fellow blackberry massive owner :thumbleft:
