Cool car, the only group a ss I havnt owned before, I think this car was owned by a Maori guy in pukekohe he used it as a daily around 2002, I would love to get my hands on a project like this, I have brand new interior material I brought when I had my Walky same pattern as Brock vl, saving it for a rainy day.

yeah sikvlt i rekon but thats what i like bout the vl genre heaps of tough engines that are similar but very diverse. i do prefer the sound of the sohc BUT have to admit that i went in a vl hillclimb car at powercruise last year and with its rb25det it had 450 rwhp and all for under 10k(engine work). was only passed by this mean rx7. awesome man i loved it. handld great to but had full custom front suspension. but he was surprised that i had a vl v8 diff as he could not find one and went with a vn v8 diff an flared guards. great advice thanks i will stick to sohc.done the diff and driveshaft rebuild. end of the year hope to get r33 gearbox conversion. chur i was looking at the link to!!!

There's heaps of places about, but the cost really depends on how bad the kerbing is, and how big the wheels are. I priced up my 19s a couple of years ago, and from memory most the quotes came back at around $200-$250 per wheel... I ended up getting them done as a cash job through my brother in Cambridge. You can try: http://www.wheelrepairservices.co.nz/index.html These guys service a lot of the car dealers in Auckland http://www.wheelfixit.co.nz/
