Depends on funds...(how often do you hear a VL owner say that ) I'll be doing the V8/Turbo Brake upgrade on this in afew weeks if all goes to plan...then who knows whats next? I keep hearing of VL Turbo's down South which makes me itch and want to bring 1 back up North.....Some of them dont like letting go of their cars though, especially when you tell them your from Auckland lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think he did a pretty good job and suprisingly it was his idea to fill in the gap. He said it would of been more work to put the line back in, so i wasnt complaining lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
