86 you need to introduce yourself!!! Rarecarvr is a super nice guy and actually from time to time will sell an item or car or two. But he has to know it'll go to a good home first. Otherwise he'll end up selling you a used up cop car that the taxi guys have already rejected. lol.
93ztwo4, all I can say is good freakin luck!!! Of the roughly 900 VR's built over 2 years, a paltry 83 were 2 doors. One was for sale awhile back that was in MINT condition, it sold for OVER $10,000.00!!!!!!!!!! And, of course, there are fewer than 83 left over the years. I know because I got insanely lucky with my kit. I will post pics later.

The person that bought that car lives in my area! Very nice car and it's a 5-speed to boot! Less than 1% of celebs were a stick that year, so it's probably the only one with that combo. I was fortunate enough to see it at a car show, but the owner wasn't around to talk to. That car is even better in person! Oh, and I'll see if I can get in contact with rarecarvr, I'm sure I can learn a thing or two.

WOW!! Small world!!! I have only seen pics of that car and just from the pics, I can tell its real nice. AutoStyle Cars (makers of the VR) claim that this was the ONLY 5 speed VR EVER made, but I know thats b/s 'cuz my kit came off a 5 speed.
Here's some pics, as promised. Sad sad sad.

Those pics make me want to cry. It's a shame a Celeb coupe would end up like that, let alone a VR model! Is that the car you got your parts from? Most of the VR specific parts look useable.

[X11_STE]

Yup, thats the car that donated the VR kit to me. Only cost like $150 for the kit, 5 speed shifter, and speed dens ecm! Only wish I could have gotten the nose cone but it was gone and I can get one from rarecarvr. Believe it or not, I DID cry when I first seen the pics and even now my heart gets a little heavy when I look at them.

Aren't those u-pull-it yards great. I just installed a rear disc setup from a 88 STE that only cost me 75 bucks. Its just a shame some of those cars end up there though.
