hi peoples here is some info on my 2 berlinas, both venetian red with maderia interior. v8 sedan purchased in 2009, currently in pieces awaiting a resto. interior has some wear and tear, but overall is in quite good condition. i have the std berlina wheel as well as a single spoked calais one spewing the previous owner cut holes in the front door trims for speakers (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/019.jpg.html) it had top half respray done just after buying it (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/S7301181.jpg.html) (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/5654_120004994658_2514121_n.jpg.html) sadly how it has sat for some time now (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/262393_10151142891029659_1836670283_n.jpg.html) (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/S7303382-1.jpg.html) n/a 6 wagon purchased in feb this year with the intent of it being a daily, and swapping some interior bits for the sedan. still not got it registered! interior is not quite as good as the sedan, but is not missing anything. (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/859981_10151443544159659_2097779822_o.jpg.html) exterior these photos make it look better than its is, its pretty sad (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/919045_10151557934439659_27288360_o.jpg.html) (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/920167_10151557934814659_323120071_o.jpg.html) plans for the sedan are pretty much factory spec exterior and smoothed engine bay with LS conversion. hoping to have the paint and exterior done by the end of the year, then can get started on the conversion. feel free to give me your opinion on both of them, especially the sedan and doing the conversion. thanks for looking Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

There both nice, good stuff.. Any idea on how long til you do the LS1 conversion?

Thanks mate. Hoping to start on collecting parts for the conversion early next year. As to when its completed, not really sure!

Ls1 wagon will be nuts

agreed, an LS wagon would be rad but thats for the sedan! wags is gonna stay as is. speaking of the wagon, gave it wash and took it for it longest drive since i've had it, all of about 5 metres! got a few more photos as well (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/472440_10151559758934659_2074510074_o.jpg.html) (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/472848_10151559758619659_1802805477_o.jpg.html) (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/459433_10151559759014659_549335569_o.jpg.html) (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/922273_10151559756314659_1834231952_o.jpg.html) currently gotta finish the exhaust off, give it a good clean up underneath check the brakes etc and grab a rear wiper motor. then get it rego'd Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Fark, I read it wrong. Ls both

got the wagon rego'd in december last year and have been using it as a daily since. loving it had to do the tailshaft on it a month ago also looking at going discs all round on the wagon as i've got still got the gear off the sedan. only progress on the sedan was getting it towed from the old ladys to my place (december also) and buying it a new car cover its both depressing and motivating to see some of you other guys making progress

Dont worry i know the feel! My VL sat in the garage for a year and a half before work began, and watching everyone else enjoy their builds is depressing lol You'll get there and you've got a good base to work with!

Sell me your wagon!

the wagons excellent mate. with the disc conversion get on it and while you are at it do the VT master conversion and the VLTurbo style front calipers and discs (same as stock vr / vs) It's a cheap setup and phenomenally good. after having done it myself i can't believe it tok me soo ong to get my crap together and do it. especially in a daily.

cheers SIroller, gonna start keeping an eye out for the extra bits i need Quote: Originally Posted by priceysVL [View Post] Sell me your wagon! lol, not the first time you've tired!

i don't have any red stuff but i do have tonnes of wagon stuff so lmk if its anything odd and i'll keep an eye out

Cheers mate

photo of the dodgy 16s i stuck on it the other week (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_49.jpg.html) ---------- Post added 22-08-15 at 01:04 ---------- Also very very minor progress on the sedan. I've got a fingered LS1 motor and loom, also have measured up some engine mounts to fabricate. ATM the plan is to make them up, fit fingered motor, make up headers and start on stripping out the loom...not sure when any of it will actually happen Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ha at "not sure when any of it will happen" true that

lol no progress to report in at all found some photos of my old berlina, 2002 spec with autometer and k&n stickers on the qtr glass lol (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_64.jpg.html) have a few more to put up when i get around to it, also got some of my ice blue? SL from around '98-99 lol old c n t Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I impulse purchased a series 1 vt ss with a manual box Things will (may) progress a little faster

photos of said vt (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_10.jpeg.html) Pulled the motor on Saturday (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/20278A06-7C63-4EDF-A00F-CF3AE7BB1A31.jpg.html) As it sits now (http://s517.photobucket.com/user/adzmoore/media/1B7E3747-A511-4A69-8623-7843D193A13C.jpg.html) Motor has 120 K on it, but hasn't been driven for a few years. The plan is to strip it and see what condition its. At a minimum I'm thinking cam, skimming the heads, but won't decide on anything until I see how good/bad it is. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

2 very nice cars! Shame the sedan has been sitting in bits for soo long!

Started pulling the motor down yesterday. Got the manifold, heads and sump off.

Will pull the bottom end next weekend so I can see exactly what I have to work with and formulate a plan for the rest of the build. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
