Ground-up FULL rebuild
Have most receipts, cost well over $20k in parts bought alone (not including the labour cost or the cost of the car). This car is a bargain at this price.
Below, in the list, when I say new, I mean absouletly BRAND NEW, NOT second hand or reconditioned, OK.
Small sample of stuff done:
Brand new (from GCG Turbochargers) intercooler and piping kit installed (all with receipts, cost 1 1/2 grand)
Brand new VT twin piston front calipers with new slotted rotors all round, new semi-metallic pads all round, new rear brake lines, new seals in reconditioned rear calipers, NEW VL turbo brake booster and NEW 1 inch master cylinder, NEW heavy duty (thicker) supporting bracket, new front wheel bearings (all with receipts, over a grand's worth in parts alone)
NEW suspension just done, adjustable and fully sorted, steers like a dream, even on rough or uneven roads. (all with receipts, cost nearly 2 grand)
NEW 3 inch mandrel bend full turbo back exhaust with 3 inch high-flow cat and 1 3 inch high-flow stainless steel muffler (all with receipts, approx 1 grand's worth)
NEW air-con compressor, hoses, receiver/dryer etc and re-gassed (all with receipts, around a grand's worth)
NEW turbo from Garrett.
FULLY REBUILT VL TURBO LIMITED SLIP DIFF, tightened up, new seals etc etc (All with receipts, over a grand's worth)
NEW LINK ECU, all installed and FULLY sorted.
NEARLY ALL MECHANICALS ARE NEW, if not, then rebuilt, even down to the wiper motor.
And that's just for starters.

VL Turbo 87 Model Executive (converted)
Car has a genuine low 122,000 km's, with the original Holden Log Book. The condition of the car will prove the km's are genuine. NEVER SMASHED in it's life, YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN BEATER OUT TO CHECK IT OVER IF YOU LIKE (has been thoroughly checked by licenced panelbeater). 7 months NSW rego. Car can be viewed in Albury/Wodonga (NSW-VIC Border), or on rare occasions in Sydney West, by arrangement.
ALL WORK done by licenced tradesmen. The injectors, fuel pumps, fuel reg solenoid, solenoid assist tank, fuel rail, fuel regulator, oil pump, carbon canister, knock sensor, engine wiring loom, manifolds, plus all the obvious bits, are all VL Turbo. The factory boost level is set at approx 6 psi, while the switch-able higher boost level is set at 12psi. Has been professionally tuned.
Absolutely NO rust (original no rust, not repaired or covered up). Fully rust-proofed, plus full extra rust proofing of the complete underbody, wheel well's, above the fuel tank (was removed) etc etc. The paint work and body is in excellent condition, the interior is fantastic and has no rips, cracks, etc.
Spent well over $30k in total.
Bargain at $15,000. PM me ONLY if genuine interested to buy.
