Congrats on your purchase Mo. This car lived up to all my expectations plus some. Sorry to hear about the sh#tty fuel and the damage to the engine. This happened to my mate Graham who owned several quick VL's also from Busselton. He filled up with a bad load of fuel in Perth from same brand servo as you did. It leaned his car out and he threw in the build after 2 years in the making. The Chad (Jack) has alot of his engine gear now. I will be keeping a close eye on this thread and will be happy to pit crew or help out in anyway possible when you head to drags. Goodluck with your future mods PS; you love your low riders I actually raised it from being on its guts when I purchased it. I put grandad spec FE2 on it then did my 10.80 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

she gota be low for the street, beauty is front has coilies with 90/10s so can be raised with ease and back is only put the stock springs back in wen slicks are under it il know by next week if block is salvage'able wen applied look at it, internals should still be gd fingers crossed.
