bump

thank fark you didn't do that dash yourself or you were going to get reamed on here! *sigh of relief* yeah i reckon its great buddy. looks like you have heaps of parts for it, the chasers look mint by the way. you have done really well on the diff exhaust and giving the engine a freshen up, all i could recomend is doing a nice intake mod whether its cai or just a panel filter in the stock box (don't do a pod in the engine bay it will just suck warm air and be worse than a std box with a panel filter) also things like the afm / distributor and other sensors so when time comes to drive it you will have a reliable car.

Yeah the pod is going and im goin back to box with K&N high flow panel filter and turn the box into CAI with pipe coming out bottom of box facing towards front bumper with mesh over pipe. and the car has no sound system at all expcept for 2 clarion 4 way 6x9's i got off a mate(not in car tho). im fixing all boot rust now and stop all the water leaks and new carpet up walls and bottom with sound deadner and the boot lid has spray foam in it. and i still need chrome dress rims for pursuit rims then ill put them on with tires

bump update in one or two days. of pics of the rust around boot lid seal and pics after it was all fixed and painted. And new parts arrived today K&N high flow panel filter for CAI/air box and 4 guage holder for my gauges

minitubb? whats the point on an na? not having a go but its money wasted when you could spend it on much better things. i think its great that your doing all the work yourself tho

lol.. hey man again like the others have commented like that your doing it all yourself my comments and suggestions are - berlina tail lights, slap some nightshades and clearcoats on them if you must - standard dash, maybe plug some blue led's in the back or something i dunno - paint your window surrounds black so it matches the dark tint also how come you wacked flat top forgies in ? i wouldve stuck with a lower comp piston which wouldve been a lil off pace in the mean time but kickass for a turbo later on as youve got everything else ready for one minus a cam change

holy **** ru seriz, that sucks ass!!!

wow qld can go suck a big hairy ****! as for tubs back in the day hdt hsv and all the race cars had 'massaged' wheel arches. pretty much they got in there with a dowelle and a mallet and gave them a flogging. give it a whirl. it adds extra character to the car and while its not tubbing, it also looks standard and you can tell your friends its something thats pretty unknown and you picked it up from the group a tourers of the late 80's and early 90's. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i got a tripple guage dash holder thingy ill take pic and show ya this arvo after work, and rust aint finsihed yet to show u pics, i got before and after pics of rust it ****IN bad as the amount of holes and the size. i almost cried when i stripped out all the old bog,putty,silicone,skiaflex from previous owner. and saw how bad it was i might look into that way of how they did those wheel wells. i got more pics of head ill put up later new valve springs and big cam going in soon and lifters and spark plugs but in that pic its had acid bath new valves and valves seat cleaned head shaved and crack tested and welded 6 cracks, new welsh plugs, new gaskets port polishing it soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

THIS IS WHAT I FOUND TODAY! O NO! Any panel beaters on this website who know how much a quote be for this to be fixed.just wondering thats all. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that is bad, but have seen worse, it probly would be cheaper to buy a clean vl shell??? or just another one in general... but at the end of the day anything is repairable if ya got the cash$

be cheaper to buy a clean shell dude, dosent seem worth it to get something like that fixed if its cheaper to buy another one with minimal rust on it

bump new pics

bump but the body is nice on this is just the boot cause of all the water leaking in, i can get boot floor pan for $130 and weld it in and weld plate over the hole where spare wheel is and cover the hwole well with a wall to hide spare wheel well for amps or somthing

Bump back suspension pics not good, fixing it all up soon and the guy who owned it before me lowered it on ultra low springs with standard height shocks and standar pand hard rod not adjustable and with worn out bacn end suspension bushes, and shocks feel gone just not bounce in back end. But i did all front end bushes a month ago that was so bad all bushes where gone or cracked, the strut tower bushes where that ****ed that when i took of front control arms the strut TOWER FELL OUT!!! with out me undoing the strut tower bushes bolts!!!!!! worse steeering ever lol so dangerous too! here are pics http://s450.photobucket.com/albums/q...albumview=grid (http://s450.photobucket.com/albums/qq223/broman12345/Boot%20Rust/?albumview=grid)
