thread from the dead lol i think i'll get a vt badge they look classy, do the 2 pins fit through the stock holes? i have been starting to strip the vl to get ready for paint, rear bar, back seat and rear trim is off, and taking off front bar trim and headlights off tomorrow i got a new dizzy cap as it was runnin slightly off, due to a crack in it, and now its purring again. painters comin down to have a look at the end of the month, dads mates with him hes fixin the little bit of rust and a couple of dents then its getting a fresh paint of 2pak Blue Ice so should look something like QIK86's car except with silver bumpers and moulds, and without the fmic :P Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Alrighty then, been busy over the weekend, taken out all seats, door handles out, rear trim and those black things near the headlights, mirrors, door trims, the trim on the outside of the doors the black ones on the bottom of the window, few other things, all i have to do is take off the front bumper and the little trim around it and it's fully stripped The VL is goin to holden tomorrow to get looked at, runnin real rich some days then others perfect, and running really badly Car is off to get painted in the next 2 weeks im hoping, depends on painter My seats are getting redone, but the chick thats doin them reckons she might not be able to re cover them with the exact design, so i am thinking of getting them all done over in leather, or another design in cloth. What you guys reckon? I'm really open to suggestions on this, keen to see what ppl think. Jez

Check the AFM resistance between pins 1 and 6. Should read .386, or .384 is your timing is advanced. As for the interior, why the hell would you bother recovering stock Exec seats?
