Painted up the crash plate and fitted it up today and rolled it out in the sun the new 2pac white looks the goods. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looking good man, can't wait to see pics of it when its done. engine bay repsray looks pretty good. should've kept the pinstripe help with the sleeper spec.

yeah the whole car is getting resprayed in 2pac the same as the bay at the end of the build might look into it then see how sleeper it comes out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

any progress on this man?

yeah just collecting parts dude bought a original vl turbo diff off lex and got brand new rear disc and rebuilt the calipers just need to get shocks and the whole rear end can go in. Also bought a bosch 044 and sold the other pumps off im now going to run a new intank pump into a undercar surgetank and out thru the 044.

love a good sleeper man get a new stripe on later why did you decide to paint it when you didnt plan on it before? what colour?

I wasnt going to paint it just to save money but thought id kick myself if it looked below par when it gets on the road its just bein respayed in the original alpine white only in 2pac. It also helped that my mate and his dad opened there own panel shop and are giving me a good price. some more parts collected New rear disc (just Standard) rebuilt calipers and 3.45 turbo diff open center

strip the motor tonight just saving up for my pistons and rods the it will all be sent away to be built

collected some more parts today left hand NOS GM headlight never opened brand new grandpa spec head light protectors NOS GM

I love it. I have granpa spec lense covers too

i finally took the seat covers off the vl too inspect th seats condition as i didint even look before i bought the car off a mate and he told me they were good. Im over the moon to say the least! cheers Luke

atleast interior dont have to be touched.. its mint.. you gonna have some grandpa sheep wool seat covers? lol

yeah man il be putting in the beige colour woolen seat covers for sure Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hahaha.. sick Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bit of a update ive decided to go 2jz in my vl some people hate it cross breeding so to speak but **** it it just works out perfect for what i want. The way i look at it i want 400rwhp so i have to build my rb30 to handle that which will set me back 6K then turbo manifolds etc thats 9K at least. I can get my 2jz for 3K doesnt need to built to make that power single turbo conversion motor bolted in for 6K any way thats whats happining now going engine shopping tomorrow cheers Luke

wtf ??? Dont man, seriously! What about the box on a 2Z? X-members? Engineering? Wiring? Think your math is a bit out! Stick with the RB30. You dont need crazy manifolds, the factory ones have run 10's! 400rwhp/300rwkw isnt that hard to get these days out of a RB30, maybe speak to Maatouks? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ive done the math. i want a auto so the price of a built box is the same, x members i can make myself there easy, both engines need engineering in nsw cause mine is not a original turbo vl so no difference there, both engines need aftermarket ecu so wiring is the same. the differences i can get a 2jz motor and box for 2800 -3000 and have the single turbo conversion done with big turbo sitting in the car ready to be wired up before ive even built the rb30 and it will make 450+rwhp on pump fuel

thats it, I have 1 arriving soon, stock tt going to put some fuel system for E85 and a single turbo then boooosssst

Well now i feel silly im sticking with the rb30 after speaking with anth at maatouks racing he convinced me and he will now be building my engine sorting my gearbox etc. Since talking to him he told me to collect some parts 1 is a vlt oil pump which i got already thru mrsquigle the other a vlt auto that suits rebuild which im still hunting for. I have now fitted the vlt diff with brand new brake disc and calipers along with shortened kyb shocks and superlow king springs. I have also painted my fuel tank and straps and refitted it. Pics up soon cheers Luke some pics of diff and new suspension installed. new ride height in rear end cheers luke

started stripping the rest of the shell for paint now bumpers chrome etc so far so good no rust chrome coming off east pics up soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
