That'd be a sin.....if it's the Ford 4L inline six you're talking about. Otherwise, enlighten me, because that's a hell of a stroking job!

yer the xr6t was in the thoughts although i have another straight 6 in mind but dont think my budget would streach that far, M power would be nice but this is later on Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

BMW M3 3.2L DOHC inline 6 turbo would definately be an interesting and unique converison. The XR6T motor would go absolutely off in a VL as they weigh nothing, but everyone will hate you for it. Considered stroking the VL? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

_____________________________ Yesterday just won a set of chrome handles on ebay for $24.50 so ill be heading to the other side of the city to pick them up over the weekend apparently no deep scratches just a few small scuffs which will polish out ________________________________ Today just spent $36 at u pull it got two 1/4 window trims which arnt cracked or broken both centre gutter moulds, long ones all four 1/4 trim chrome moulds both front door belt moulds and also found power mirror control pad spent a hour half chosing the best ones in the wreckers just siting down now and polishing them up with egale1 trim polish then ill fit them _________________________- fitted both front pillar moulds and both roof gutter moulds removed the 1/4 glass and baily channels sanded/primed the baily channels removed all the window rubbers which were not rubber anymore, bittle and hard cleaned up my 18s and fitted i thought they wouldnt go well with the blue but im actually surprise they dont look half bad also im going to have to buy a new master cylinder as this one has started to leak under the resiour so currenty price ive found for one is $295 but i reckon i can get one a little cheaper Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Fuck man, for $295 it's not worth it. I was quoted $194.10 incl. GST from Holden for a brand new VT master cylinder, $224.40 for a brand new VS V6 brake booster, and $36 for the Hoppers Stoppers line adaptors. So that's $160 for much better equipment. Looking absolutely mint mate. Got plans for the interior? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

wow mate that colour is such a great colour for a VL, similar to Brad's Berlina Turbo

cheers Gavin whats peoples thoughs on white? haha nah its only primer Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was going to say......no!

last night i put the back window in, quite happy with the rust repairs on the back cowl panel, they sit perfect with the rubber and there is no gaps

little bit done yesterday had too take the back window back out as the roof liner needs tucking under, so removed that, fitted the roof lining and put the window back in rear seat belts fitted rear inner 1/4 trims in parcel shelf in and seats in fitted my new boot lid mould and the lock the other night aswel roof is a little creased as its been rolled up for 2 years but they should come out slowly

Just a question - how did you take the window out and put it back in?

I changed my roof liner without removing the rear window, just fiddled for ages with a little screw driver and my fingers to pull the seal back and push the liner in.

tricks of the trade with just a bit of rope yer you can get away with it by leaving it in but its better to use contact adhesive to hold it over the window edge then have the window holding it too no diffrence though a minute to get the window out and about 3-4 to refit it so it isnt a big job Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well soon ill be on a spending spree for the vl -will be ordering my gktech intercooler kit -turbo injectors -nistune computer -z32 AFM -new front and rear bars -possibly exhaust -and more clear then just add one to one and a car should be made today picked up some new vk berlina taillights and a taillight garnish Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
