I bought this ........urrr .......... shady lookin VL, from a shady lookin guy about a month or 2 ago, told me to get on here, but been on before i got it. Anyway, since i got it, i've done a fair bit of work to it, with heaps left to do, but should make a nice, clean VL once i'm done. Runs a stock RB30, with plugs for oil and water lines. (A6 block i think, not sure though, first VL i've owned) Extractors 2.5" Exhaust all the way through, sounds nice 5 speed manual conversion done Crappy VY/VZ 15" wheels King Spring super lows Crusty drum brakes on the rear Wires running everywhere under the dash, really bad. Here's the pics of when i got it, and some progress pics Some progress pics Plans are New 2 tone paint inside and out (Impulse Blue over special effects silver) Turbo conversion, Hi-flow T3, external gated, FMIC Disc brake read VT/VX twin piston calipers on the front Re-trimmed interior New suspension rubbers throughout New door rubbers etc Wheels .......... god knows Decent stereo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
