Evening all, I was talking to a mate from one of our branches today and it turns out he is good mates with the owner. He helped him with a lot of the build and he shared some info that may help answer some of your questions. Firstly - I hear it goes just a good as it looks! Quote: Originally Posted by NZ_BT1 That blue VL: mike is AWESOME....shame its a V8 though....ruins it a bit hehe...also the calais front....ditch them and its awesome....love the colour Ruins it?!? Whatever... it would be half the car it is without all that chrome awesomeness towering out of the bay! As for the Calais front - clearly the owner (like many others) understands the age old rule - Calais Front FTW - End of story! Quote: Originally Posted by SIKVLT It's the kind of car you go "Whoa look at that !" and then you start seeing the flaws But all credit to the owner to get it in one of the sheds... These 'flaws' you speak of may be ironed out in the coming weeks - from what i understand there are a few bits a pieces that need to be finished off - it wasn't quite ready but he wanted to get it to the show! Quote: Originally Posted by VL-Dan Nice Car indeed.....No WOF or Rego did spark my interest even more in it though Not to mention the plates dont belong to it lol As for the no WOF and Reg - he didn't get time to get it all certed before Kumeu; no cert = no wof = no reg. As for the plates not matching the car, that is apparently because in order to get the plates he had to have them registered to a vehicle - so he just rego'd them to his VN and put them on his VL at Kumeu.

This is not a dig,But at Most car shows and certainly national shows the have to be road worthy.The last nats a car was withdrawn as it did not have a cert,(redrat)And the last hot rod nats the car that one was also withdrawn Becouse the motor was not a goer,(no pistions in the blocks)What was required for this show?and was it driven on the road? But for my opinion she looks like a fine beast,And yes I do know the hassels of trying to get it finished on time. Cheers Marty Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers Marty I'm not sure on the exact rules at Kumeu - I don't know if the car has to be road worthy or not. Judging by some cars i've seen there in the past i am assuming not. It's basically just a good fun day out as far as i am aware. Perhaps if you want to be entered in the competition then its needs to be road worthy... I'm not too sure. Cheers, J
