"White" "Aha. Manual?" "Yup" "Sedan or Wagon" "Can't remember but pretty sure it was a wagon" Sounds like your one Mike! (or possibly RIPV8S if it was a sedan) Do ya know if any of the previous owners lived in Hastings? Nah I'm the first north island owner has only been lower south island owners before me

This car is going to be so good when/if it gets finished Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yea that cars mint, everything underneath is polished too, so much detail. p.s. does anyone here use Accel ignition leads? are they any good? how do they stack up compared to the likes of NGK, Bosch, MSD etc?

polished Gearbox insane !

you mean, if it ever gets finished!

Turbo'd LS1 in a VL would be awesome. It's the only way I'd want to build another VL

do you reckon you can buy it for a lower price , considering condition http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-328164066.htm (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Holden/Walkinshaw/auction-328164066.htm) i so want it ...... !!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Considering it's a 22 year old car I'd say it's condition is pretty good! It would still be a good buy at $65k, and with $10-12k spent on a clean up you would have a mint car. I doubt you could get a decent tidy up for $3-4k as he states in the auction. The entire kit needs to be removed so car and kit can be painted seperately Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how many of these genuine walky's made it to NZ? but man id take the silly stereo and put the factory one in LOL and just tidy it up to make it look as it did from the factory floor... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Not to sure, somewhere between 100-200 would be my guess. I don't think I could live with 180kw, 16s, and factory suspension. I'd love one with factory paint and interior, but with FR18s and similar suspension and engine setup I had in EVLHSV. I'd probably remove the factory engine and box and drop in a VT 355 roller engine and T56 so I could return the drive line back to factory if I ever loose the urge to modify everything I buy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sweet thanks for that Mike...You going to powercruise yorself?
