Haha, thanks for the hit up mate. I was smiling for about 10 minutes haha. Looks like a good base for a project, 87 VL SL manuals are the go Luckily mine came with power steering, good job fitting it up. Done plenty of hard work on my car and it looks like youre off to a good start. Just make it nice and neat, not over the top and do it to your style, not other peoples. What colour are you spraying it? Any question, message me and ill try to help yu out. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Update, Final got a Vl Calais front, started priming today here is a picture of some that i was able to finish

You cant really see it but on the back door there is massive stach and tryed to use some filler but didnt work out that well so i had to sand it all off but my mate the panel beater said that he will just fix it up for me then prime it and etc

ah ok fair enough.

only 2 more days till i get the VL back, So pumped for a cruise

Final got it back today, looks so clean but still putting on some parts Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good mate. whats the next plans for it??

Future mods at the moment. 1. Lowered springs 2. Calais garish 3. Extractor + Exhaust system 4. New rims (need suggestions) 5. Chrome door handles installed 6. VLC series II interior 7. VLC series II dash 8. New headlights That's all I can think of for now

Got some rims today for FREE! will be putting them on. There VE commodore rims

good score mate. should look nice on it.

Update (Finally...) got my rims on and suit really nice. just need to be lowered a tiny bit more (King spring SL's?) plus the centre caps then it will be prefect

Looking good there mate, finish off the Calais conversion and some super lows, she'll look a million bucks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

its good to see people take nothing and turn it into something nice

Finally get on with the car . got some 2nd extractors cleaned them up but still need a exhaust system (Looking for a 2 1/4) also cleaned the car up abit today to plus the centre caps came and are on Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Update (Finally....) Got the car new shocks and springs (Kingspring SL's) Before: After: How it looks now: Also got the extractors installed and have installed a 2 1/4 exhaust system (Pic's soon to come)
