.....and ladies, of course!!!
matter of fact, I just went thru 10 pages of the Cladding thread and that Gatorback looks promising. I'm doing lots of searching here but a quick answer from those that know will def save time.
Thanks again, Kat.....

Man, I've got my fingers and toes crossed hoping the GB holds up to the test. I really like the idea that you can "fix" a spot w/o it looking like a patch (or so it says). Since I'm goin' get some abrasions from wheeling, I like this idea.
I know there's a couple of diff threads on cladding, but did you catch the one where RickOKC did some testing with 3 products. He also had to clean some product (Bonda stuff) OFF his VX. You could use some other products until you decide if GB is the final answer

Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
I only got to drive it w/in the confines of the shop
Unless there shop is the size of the Superdome I doubt you got any real sense of the transmision or engine. Without a real test drive I wouldnt offer any more for it than a parts car.

Good thoughts from all...especially about getting a better test drive!
LunaX is a great resource for "fixing" any dents, holes, and problems with the cladding. Gatorback does look promising and I'm waiting just like many others to see how it last long term.
On the fuel door and torx screws I removed mine, cleaned them up with some fine steel wool and them clear coated them.

You are so welcome tony.
On my personal opinion we need to get the VX for an true road test,when i first saw it while heading to brooklyn on thursday the guy who's in charge of the VX told me that he drove it for an while before the owner returned the tags back to the DMV.
He mention that @ 60 mph he can listen to an noise that he described coming from the front differential,but not sure of what can be the source of the noise because he honestly admitted he never worked on an VX before althought he told us the VX is completely drivable as is,we didn't take it for an road test because of no tags.
The VX what mostly need is a full detailling job,all electrical works fine,he infamous window binding is present,the engine bay is dirty but nothing that can't be taken care off & no leaks were found.
Tony as i told you,i'll call my mech today to share our findings,if possible we'll try to find tags to test drive it and take it to a car wash near by the VX's location.
Dakar was just the begining.
