And i heard in the grap vine that there is an old farmer dude in the central Hawkesbay that has a turbo. prity sure iv seen it but it was couple years ago now.

Marty, did your Wagon leave the Factory a Berlina V8 Wagon then converted by HDT? Or did HDT have it from the start?

Factory Berlina wagon From factory.Remember Brock was no longer supplied cars becouse of the split.So he out soursed from loyal dealers then converted. Things were getting tight for him at this stage(money wise)so he used parts from different models from the VL range to build these cars.He was selling 14 different VL at the time.From the designer series to the Director.And then you could pick and choose was bits you wanted,eg at Group A air dam, or a Group 3 air dam. So he was no longer supplied cars direct from factory,But new from dealers. Ours new back in 87 was about 44k which concidering was a lot if the VL GP A was 30k.But that was becouse when he got the car from a dealer he had to pay dealer price(but not full price) Cheers Marty

i found mine but i have to take the seat out as they bolted the seat on top of the paper and the fu*n bolt is tight as lol,il get it

Thats a history lesson and a half I met with Brock back in the Early 2000's when he was doing a TV Show in NZ... If only i knew then, what i know now Quote: Originally Posted by UNONT2 [View Post] i found mine but i have to take the seat out as they bolted the seat on top of the paper and the fu*n bolt is tight as lol,il get it Danny, if your able to get under your car find which bolt it is (they stick out under the floor) and coat it with CRC or attack it with a wire brush. They are coated in thread lock, and its a pain in the arse lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Interesting to read if you know what it all means You know too much lol How did you find out about this guy? When he worked in Ch Ch I meet him,Still talk to him today.(about twice a week) Cochrome Holden in Riccarton Rd used to be the holden dealer,He came over to vet the cars before the hit the NZ roads(only the NZ assembled ones)Boy the stories he told about the NZ ones.We really wen't the best at assembling cars.But he alwayes made sure that the cars from his plant(adelaide)the paper work was to be put in.Easy for the wagons as they were all made in Adelaide.So when you here about the stories that it has a manual in it,And the plate says auto some people claim there was a hiccup at the plant.??When it went down the line the boxs marked is what it got.

If sum1 cld let me no il hav antha lok Your production broadcast sheet,Basicly it is a bit of paper that sayswhen the car was ordered and what was ment to go in it as it went down the production line,Have a look at the paperwork a few posts up.But if you have had the carpet out most likely it is gone,Or not put in. Some are stuck to the sound deadining and you cannot take out,So in those case's just take a pic of it. Cheers Marty
