This is my maranello vl that i have be working on for around 7 months now. It has been a working progress an i have done a number of minor modifications to the car to get it into better condition. I also have plans to get the turbo build eventually when i have sufficient funds but am currently driving the stock rb30 with exhaust mods. I want to make a hybrid rb25/30det engine with the twin cam head. Modifications done so far: 3 inch super low king springs After market steering wheel 2.5 inch exhaust 2x sony xplod 12' subs head unit 17' vx ss rims calais front an rear style gauges pod filter Here is the car with the standard front and rims i had on my first car. Here is my interior before i had put the gauges in Here is the car as it is at the present, with the new calais front and the gauges put in. Next i have plans for a much louder exhaust and a number of minor interior modifications to be done before the turbo setup is started. Tell me what you guys think . Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just thought i'd throw in a few more shots of my car to show ya what ive been working on in the past few weeks and months Heres my custom sub install that i made up This is a pic of the new resinator i put in place of the centre muffler on the already 2 1/2 inch exchaust. Just a little bit louder!

looks nice man normaly i dont like single tone red calais but i rate yours

Yeh i am goin to be puttin a two tone paint on it when i get the funds. Hopefully candy apple red over calais silver.

Hey again, its been a while since ive posted anything on my sight, so here are some more recent shots New calais moulds on and the ass end lowered

looking good get that front right bumper mould sourted n window jams black and will be looking tops

Hey all, im kinda in a pickle with my car, im not so sure what i should do to my car next. I can do much to the engine bay yet but when i do it will be a stroked 355 with twin throttle body injection (decided that over turbo). so in the mean time, besides fixing up the mouldings, any ideas???

an update on the build, the car was taken off the road about 5 weeks ago in order to begin a proper build an has begun to be stripped in order to get ready for a full respray in red pearl two tone. An inside out respray will be carried out, and the whole car will be retrimmed. front and rear bars interior tailshaft disconnected motor out stripping the bay Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good mate What's next? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeh thanks jack, next i gota start sanding down and priming the car before its respray. at the moment sourcing some quotes for motor trimmers to get some stuff done.

progess Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

there yas go, some paint. happy lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

A six point cage is coming this week, so ill get some shots of it when its in the car. Should show some interesting updates soon.

The car being smoothed top an bottom, including full underbody work started puttin in the cage Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey guys, i kno im goin to get the whole "thread from the dead bs" from some guys lol. but yeah its been a long time since ive posted on this thread as the car hadnt progressed for a long time due to study commitments and work. There was also a long period that I didnt post much on the thread but have lots of photos to show of the car. Ill try an show a few of the work that was carried out. However, ive recently reignited my passion for the car an am working hard towards getting it painted. Basically, ive put so much effort into it now that its pretty much turned into a full blown show car with everything smoothed (engine bay, all welds and seams etc). Im currently doing a few little things just before getting the car painted to make it stand out from the usual vl mods that people do. Those mods will be kept a secret for the moment until later hehe! Ill keep the thread updated every few weeks as the car is progressing quite fast so ill keep the photos running... cheers guys Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice man - good to see you are still committed to finishing off your project! Any more recent photos?

Any more recent photos? ok so its been quite a while since ive posted on this thread. Its been a long paintstaking process with progress on an off the car, but im still going to finish the car i wanted to build all those years ago lol. Im now in the process of test fitting up the new block so i can finish remodelling the bonnet (moulding steel hump into it), as im going to have ITB injection on it for some different looks. So ill get some photos up tonight of the motor thats goin to go in it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

YEP this is still the same car project from all these years and im still commited lol!! Here is some progress of the car. Im hoping to have the car done in approximately a years time.. prob wont happen but one can always dream lol. Going with a sunkist orange over silver tone as i wanted a moderately different look to how it was before. As the cars now going to be a full blown show car, here are the photos of the undercarriage being painted before to after on the day... Painted in two-pack and came out beautiful. looks so lush in the flesh Sanding and priming diff atm an hopefully painting this weekend. Then put back on its wheels and building suspension once bay is painted.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

good on work the under carrige, i was looking at doing this to mine, but i just painted mine a gloss black, wish i had chucked colour on there now. good luck with the rest of the build.
