Make / Model: Vl sl Colour: Originally white Bodykit: N/A Engine Type: rb30 Engine Mods: stock Power: stock Exhaust: 3" with hi flow cat Gearbox: 5 speed Diff: drum diff for now Brakes: vl turbo front brakes with 1" master and booster to suit, drum rears Suspension: Lovells front springs, pedders (Maybe king not sure yet) rears Wheels/Tyres: 15" interceptors Interior: Stock blue Stereo: unsure yet Hey guys/girls I brought this vl at the start of 2011 from a member here on ct. Picked it up pretty cheap. Bit of info on her when I first purchased the car: VL SL Non turbo Auto Battery in the boot Hidden wiring Fuse box relocated into glove box Tinted windows Lots of rust been repaired (Was around the boot channel) Around the windows is good 2 n 1/2 inch exhaust Smoothing of the bay started Cruise control Alarm system Here is some pics from when I first brought the car. These are the pics from when I got it home and took it off the trailer. Then I took the motor out, and took the tape off the car that was on there from the previous owner. Found this rust under the tape Then it was up on some wheels (Jack stands) to do some more work. Since I decided to keep going with smoothing the bay, Thought I would try something totally different that I haven't seen before. After removing the front windscreen, I found a heap more rust Decided to take the cowl out So since after so long from leaving, I'm finally getting stuck back into it. Here are the recent pics of the car. (I cant post anymore pics in this post. So as soon as its up, I will upload the recent pics of the car) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Here is a few pics of my vl. Have finally got the clear coat on today. All I have to do now is the bonnet and boot in clear. Spray my front and rear bars along with my guard/door moulds. Started to do a bit more on my engine bay.
