you lucky mate you got it off first time my crank pulley seized and wouldnt come off managed to put a hole in my oil pump in the mean time Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

working on ur vl commodore is one of the most australian things u can d0!!

yeah i bought a bearing pulley tool home from work and didnt even need it, the pulley slid off into my hands lol. yeah and i spose your right zaksvl cant get much more aussie lol

really impressive build man

well got car running pretty good at the moment, and have made myself a final list of what needs to be done. - bleed brakes done - bleed clutch done - get and fit trans floor cover - fix hazards done - front and rear demister done - chip in windscreen - handbrake connected and adjusted done - rear sway bar link and D bush's done - fit tail shaft done - wire up reverse lights done - new fuse rail wired up - 2nd bracket for pod filter done - plumb in rear rocker cover breather - fix power steering leak done - fix coolant bleeder bolt that snapped and is leaking - get good spare done - bolt up power steering lines under sump done - speed o cable done - fill gearbox with oil done am going to ring up during the week and book in for my inspection.

man, them polished heat shields look awesome if you ask me.

well bit of an update. hooked up handbrake cables and adjusted it. fitted new pan hard rod bushes cleaned all the tint glue off of the front windows filled up gearbox with oil (need to get some more, ran out) have a speedo cable set up kind of a bit dodgy but will hopefully do for now. list seems to be getting smaller finally lol

vl's look amazing with crystal clear windows imo, tinted windows just dont do it for me. cant wait for some newer pics Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

gearbox full now got some more oil today. demisters working now wired up reverse lights hopefully will have it off the stands and on the ground by the end of the weekend, will give it a wash and take some pics then.

mate, this is an awesome built. I'm trying to find a way to get a turbo, motor one day, on First Year Apprentice wages haha! hello overtime!

thanks mate. yeah i was there not so long ago. only second year appprentice myself at the moment lol. always wanted to turbo my first calais but never could afford it.

well just scored nother near complete red calais interior off of ebay for $50, in adelaide to. so will hopefully be picking that up soon and replacing the dodgy bits on my interior. new pics on weekend to..

clutch bled today, car on the ground. didnt get around to washing it but tomorrow hopefully. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looking sweet dude! maybe abit lower? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i was thinking the same but at the moment thats how it will stay. the specs, Front 345mm (from the centre of the hub to the guard) Rear 285mm or 295mm (cant read it properly on the defect sheet lol) and my car sits at, Front 360mm Rear 320mm so the front is close could maybe go a cm more to still be safe and rear could go **** loads more but then it will look stupid in my opinion.

looking good mate how long till the defect is cleared? rear is 295mm btw

well i dont wanna ring up yet as a mate of mine just went through and the longest he could book was 4 days after he rang up. im not quite ready but getting very close. picked up my other red interior today. started swaping a few things over. interior is looking lots better. took car for a drive today and as soon as it hit boost cracked the ****s and spluttered al over the place. so am after a vlt computer to see if its solves the problem.

Lookin sweet man...still...keep it on calais.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

everytime i look at this vl its lookn tuffer an tuffer....keep it up mate lookn good
