Hi all.
At the start of the year I brought a manual 86 Berlina off of a mate of mine who had owned it for just over 2 years with the intentions of fixing it up but cause of moving to Melbourne and having his auto P's sold it to me. He originally brought it off of one of his mates who too had the intentions of fixing it up but had it sitting for 2 years also.
The main problems that are left now after owning it for 2 months are:
- The Dash Face, as some D******* was to lazy to undo an extra 4 screws so they have cut the dash face in half where the aircon/heater controls go.
- Aircon/Heater Controls, as one of the teats that are needed are snapped off.
-Seats need replacing, at first I knew the drivers seat needed replacing as there are some pretty horrific to the point where you can actually see the seat chassis. Whereas the passenger and back seats if you look carefully you can see places where the springs are poking up under the padding.
So now I'm open to options on what I should do as Melbourne is the closet place to where I am where Vl's are getting parted out fairly often but to get near Melbourne I looking at a 3hr + drive.
If anyone has any ideas on interior upgrades for example vt/x or even vy/z I would be happy to see some photos as nowadays good condition vl parts are hard to get a hold of whereas I can easily buy a damaged vt-vz with immaculate interior from my local wreckers as I have done some work there before and gotten on the bosses good side.
Happy for people to link posts related if they know of any.
Cheers.
