Its For Sallle!!

Haha, I didn't end up selling it though! Figure this thread is over due for an update, just in case someone uses these forums anymore The VL has gotten pretty neglected over the years- paint faded and the rust has taken over. I've just been slowly doing engine mods to it with the intention of having it resprayed down the track. The other night I had a good look over the car and realised the rust couldn't wait any longer so I've ordered the front and rear windshield rust repair panels and gotten to work! As you can see it's looking pretty worse for wear (Front bar is in the shed, took it off to rework the intercooler piping to suit the forward facing plenum) Engine bay is looking a bit better though- Since the last update I've: Rebuilt the engine and fitted Hypertech low comp pistons Rebuilt the trans with a shift kit and high stall converter Redone the exhaust- 3 inch turbo back Fitted a T4 turbo Fitted a forward facing plenum Upgraded the fuel system- Bosch 044, undercar surge tank, 550cc injectors, Sard fuel pressure reg.. Nistune ECU Oil catch can (Planning on relocating this so its a bit more hidden ) + what ever I've forgotten. Didn't take long to get the back end stripped This explains the water in the boot! Glad this panel will be replaced Next up I'll be attacking any rust I find in the rear end, then stripping the front end and dash to do the same. All of my knowledge is on the mechanical side of cars so I'm treating this as a bit of a learning experience. I'll try to keep this thread updated as I go! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
