12-11-14, 19:57 GMT+10#62 14's are back on and staying on. The vl goes in for some fresh rubber tomorrow [Federal 215/65/14] Which should do the trick.
As stated before i'm really not a huge fan of walls. But, for some reson a red wall appeals to me on this. I need opionions haha. Somehow found some photo's of a berlina with red walls on facebook.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks mate! Appriceate it. Alot of blood sweat and tears have gone into it.
I will be honest it's really not my thing either haha. At least the red walls are different compared to the white walls everybody gets down here.
I'll just leave it, looks clean and simple without it.

Cheers alex. Sold your rig yet? Definitely not getting walls. It would spoil it

New tyres are on. Nice to have fresh rubber for once.
Unfortunately it needs tie rod ends, race ends and wheels bearings replaced before they can align it :/ , just something else that needs fixing!
I have also decided to not go with walls. If you doubt yourself, it's not meant to be

13-11-14, 20:23 GMT+10#68 Couldn't agree more. O thoight i'd think outside the box and do something i hadn't done. Needless to day that thought was brutally murdured.

26-12-14, 18:53 GMT+10#75 I drove about 20-30k's this morning and the vl didn't get hot.
Took apart the thermostat housing when i got home and found this
Out with the old and in with the new. Just proves that you always need to use coolant.
I thought i may be able to save the top outlet pipe but it's too far gone and just leaks unfortunately. just another job for tomorrow along with an oil change.
