just consider what your end goal is going to be, if you keep going the way you are now your gonna blowout your budget and redo everything or can it like you did with your last vl and buy a Ford . Decide what you want to end up with and work towards that. My vl sat next to my house for three years while i got all the parts together to get it back up and running the way i wanted it to Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Decide what you want to end up with and work towards that. My vl sat next to my house for three years while i got all the parts together to get it back up and running the way i wanted it to Making it run is my goal. Also I canned it because it had rust everywhere. Was not as clean as my current. I furthermore was on my L's so couldn't easily acquire parts. Hence why I lost interest and swapped it for the SS. Not a bad decision in hindsight because now I have the VL, despite its issues, it is a clean example, and I do not intend to sell it anytime within the near future. Oh and. I. Will. Never. Buy. A. Ford. Period. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I bought a Ford, it's not that bad. My Calais is just sitting there now (probably a good thing as the paint is in an embarrassing state) Sucks to read about the turbo set up in it. At least you pulled it all down before even more went wrong. Shouldn't be too hard to sort the CAS out. All the best! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks Nice!

I remembered XD Falcon's exist. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Car should be running within the next week or two. Turbo gear got sold (Updated in OP), and I will most likely be purchasing some Venetians within the week.

Headgasket should be done tomorrow. Here's some new pictures. Recent picture of her (took the other day... looking sad because she hasn't had a wash) Picture with a mates FG. Cleaned the interior (besides the seats). Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

- New Head Gasket. - New Dizzy (Crank Angle Sensor went, so replaced whole lot). - New Throttle Cable (Ordered; picking up and fitting tomorrow). - New Oil Filter. Hopefully this will be the last of my problems.

Car ran for a bit, then f*cked out. Some electrical issues. Gonna have someone look into it within the next few days. Removed intercooler the other day. Currently my short term mod list is: > 15x7 Pursuit Rims + Whitewalls. > Venetian Blinds (Rear). > Fix cosmetic issues. > Do general fixes here and there..

Car is fine again now. Running well, and electrics seem to be fine now. Wanting to buy the following items: > Venetian Blinds Please contact me on here for my number so we can negotiate thanks!

Venetian blinds are in.

Now sitting on 16x7 Pursuit Rims with Venetians in the Rear. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
