Good to see you stuck with the RB30, it will pay off in the end, way less hassles.

finally have a update on the vl got a radiator.

Thats a nice looking bit of gear. Thought about hiding your brake lines at all? Are you going to paint your cooler black to keep the sleeper theme? As much as that would keep it sleeper, I love the polished cooler look.

yeah i will be painting the cooler black before the cars on the road just so i get as little hassel from the fuzz as possible. never thought bout the brake lines are the easy to hide?

Yeah man if you were in Vic I could give you the guys number who does them, costs under $150 and he comes to you. Runs the lines through the guard under the car with a join under the cross member in case you ever need to take out the front end. Check out how STOWLN's run http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=172071

thats awesome thanks for the info mate some other news on the build was talking to a mate the other day found out he has a a8 motor that came out of a running calais turbo and il be grabing that for a great price.

coming along very nicely! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Are you putting the original clutch fan and shroud on?

Wow, this has come a long way since last time I posted lol, coming alond VERY nicely! Makes me wana do the same to My exec lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah it came with a shroud that screws straight on also came with a thermo old owner said it ran better with the clutch fan and shroud on t

what lugs do you mean have you got a pic

thanks guys its coming along but very very slowly due to lack of money and time. this was this first time and money spent on it in 4 months Ive got this motor coming now which im going to freshn up a bit with new headgasket, waterpump, timing belt etc then throw a cam in big turbo and go for 10s on a standard 175000km bottom end should be fun. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i checked the radiator has litlle screw holes for the shroud fits perfect thanx for that mate

hell yeah good day today got a vl turbo block and head and won a vlt inlet manifold on ebay for $46

more updates Got my turbo bottom end now very happy bores are super clean and pistons are sitting in them nice and firm this is how the car is sitting now stripped waiting to be sanded. some panels ive sanded now have to be scotch brited. my son giving me a hand sanding. have to get the front and rear winscreens pulled out then sand the entire car then scotch briteit all ten its guna be painted early in the new year i hope then get the motor in.

been sanding all day just 3 doors to go what a **** job haha also finished mounting the cooler made brackets its solid as now. cheers Lue

Try using a block when you sand, it will come out straighter, otherwise this car should be very nice when done, not to many sleepers about these days.

yeah all im doing is taking the gloss off we will see how it comes out.

looking good! **** i love a clean alpine whight vlt!

thanks mate
