Damn, thats f*&ken hot!!

Awesome conversion man, well done

[QUOTE=bobo666]Hey Guys Just thought I'd show my project VL finally complete (the first stage anyway) Its a 1986 VL over the past 10 or so months it has undergone some major mods. Here is pics for now and ill list every mod a bit later on. Ill also post pics of the build up. very nice mate congrats you must be proud!!! must go hard as!!

Quote: Looks awsome mate i think this is easily worth a feature in street commodores Yeh hope so mate. One day. Shall I just go to shows n see if they contact me about it or do i have to see them? Quote: I certainly would say don't put the cam in until you have done the 3.9 or 3.7 diff gears at the least with a 4000rpm + stall. Would be heaps of fun then Its running around a 4000rpm stall now but i know i have to change my gears soon! 3.9s for sure just a matter of cash. when i do that i want to take the spool out ( i know they're a f*k load of fun but cant risk it with the tyres and being from a small country town the police are already onto it!) No details on the CAM yet as i havent had enough time to look into it. Got this bloke hooking me up with it so i'll get details later on. Quote: i remember seeing this on the stands when rob was doing my engine swap Haha yeh if that was ur VL there i think i remember seeing that too. That was when we were doing the trans tunnel mod i think ? Quote: was this car originally from Mandurah? I used to see one that looked exactly like the old pics driving around for a while. Iv seen that one too i think. About 4 years ago this was from perth, it only had paint and stockies back then. Quote: LE grille, VK Berlina tail lights and garnish, Calais side skirts in flat black... would improve the look a lot Im pretty happy with the look of it atm but now im looking at the back it prob could use a facelift. Get us some pics or do a chop of wat u think i should get and ill take a look and might consider some sort of improvement. Quote: btw was it you that used to have a small mirror next to your front numberplate for speed cameras ??? Haha that was not me! How could you think that! hehe :P Apparently that doesnt work now anyway.

that would be insane to drive with a cam ect lol

fark me mate, that is one HOT VL. man i want a VL V8 and i just found the love of my life. lol looking good mate well done, very unique

Hothouse Green goes real well with the engine combo mate. Very nice. T56 would be my suggestion. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mate this thing is INSANE! as said before this better be at cruise for charity in perth, one more reason for me to go lol good work mate ive always loved the idea of a GEN3 vl but this would be the first in perth! (dont forget H8FORD which is another GEN3 vl)

This thing looks awesome man keep up the good work.

Heaps tough Would be better without the plates i reckon, would shock some people

Quote: Heaps tough Would be better without the plates i reckon, would shock some people i no man it was a f*kn hard decision to make ay would of been good just to see the car then hear it sound like a vz ss go past. but yeh just needed plates so wat the hell.

Did u fit the engine and remove it again before the bay was painted?

Quote: Did u fit the engine and remove it again before the bay was painted? Several times bro . engine itself. engine with gearbox. engine with extractors gearbox after tunnel mod. alot ! engine with new extractors after tuned length ones didnt fit around gearbox.
