hey everyone this is my vl turbo berlina HDT Look alike its an rb30 with T3/T4 high flow turbo, 3 inch mandrel bend with high flow catalitic converter, front mount inter cooler,turbo smart boost controller, k&n air filter,auto meter boost gauge, recently a big end bearing has worn out and had a slight knock so the engine is currently out of the car getting a full engine rebuild,(standard specs) ill keep updating this as progress continues And this is my daily driver vl commodore n/a 6cyl Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good mate just gotta add that ss grp a wing

naah im not a big fan of the wings

Very nice will go hard with the rebuild! like the colour of your daily Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i reckon if you're going to do a mock then make it look real... badges, all body kit pieces, interior, engine etc... those wheels would be worth a bit of money if they're real..

Looks good man, but you need the wing, toilet seat scoop, and HDT MOMO Stars to top it off IMO. EDIT: And the grill.

looks tha goods Sarsha... will have to organise a cruise sometime after the motor is back in... Larry

ive already seen most ov them pics lol sarsha, but looks good, didn know u took the engine out already

the engine just came out today, its going into the engine builders tomorrow morning Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

soo the engine was pulled apart today and the following was found.... bent con rod,spun big end bearing,cracked head thats been repaired, the engine must of had cracked the head when the previous owner owned it and filled the chamber with water and caused a rod to bend.

This looks good as it is. I never liked the rear wing or bonnet scoop on the Group A's
