ok so a couple of weeks ago i bought a vl 5speed non turbo off a mate of a mate and i hope to fix her up for roady then rebuild her
the bad:
gearbox is noisey
dodgy paint job
missing a couple of trims
lsd locks up when it likes
needs new locks
drivers side window regulator is stuffed
steering wheel and shaft comes out of steering column
ignition barrel stuffed
drum brakes in the back
seats have the spring coming out
need wiring fixed
the good:
nice strong healthy motor new 8mm leads plugs and rotorcap + rotorbutton
its a 5speed manual
lsd
aircon
no powersteering
good heater
bt1 speedo
ok so after i get it registered im going to take out the engine and the box and respray the whole car hide wiring and put the battery in the boot
then im going to strip the engine and rebuild the bottom end and put an rb25 head with turbo then bolt a r33 box to the engine and put it back in.
rebuild the lsd or put a Detroit locker in and lower the car about 2-4 inches and put proper race suspension in then do the interior
i will put pictures of the car in a few days
if anyone has spear parts like the window regulator or column or rear quarter window could they pm me cheers any help or advice would be nice as im 17 and this is my first car
