interior pics and updates are finally here!! lol Make / Model: 1988 vl commodore Colour: white over silver Bodykit: n/a Engine Type: RB30ET Engine Mods: Has t04z Garrett turbo, custom high mount manifold, 44mm Tial external waste gate, 1000cc injectors, 044 bosh fuel pump, rebuilt motor, forged pistons shot-peened conrods, all race bearings, Forward facing plenum chamber, intercooler, malpassi fuel press reg Power: 300kw Exhaust: 3.5 inch exhaust system Gearbox: r33 manual gearbox Diff: strengthened Warner diff Brakes: no idea what kind lol but it has disks front and back Suspension: monroe shocks and king springs Wheels/Tyres: sigs with 245 35 19s Interior: i think the interior is out of a vn Stereo: 2 x digital design 15" subs with two 1000watt amps, kenwood speakers and a pioneer head unit Other Mods: fluffy dice, calais front Future mods: re trim the interior, full body respray and just a general tidy up of the motor. so far ive only done a few things to it. i pulled the subs out cos the box was so big there was no room for a spare tyre and the battery was just being held in by the sub box and side of the boot. old boot so now the subs are out, the battery is held down and im making a false floor out of wood and tidying up the boot so you cant see the fuel pump. so the engine is putting out a decent amount of power at the moment but my plan is to dress it up a bit. like hide the wires and put all shiny bits and pieces on. as you can see it doesnt look very flash at the moment. i took the rocker cover of a couple of days ago and im planning on painting it white. but there are plenty more things that need doing up in there lol and as for the interior it has these blue seats that i dont know what there out of. dont have any pics as yet but ill add some later. but i want to re trim the seats soon to some posh leather and im currently getting an autometer dash made so that should look pretty cool. but yeah thats my vl so let me know what you reckon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Is this moey's old car??

I got it from a guy called daniel mantzakos

yep, moeys old car lol

but now with a painted rocker cover lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

on the weekend i finally got stuck into the boot. the subs have been out for a few months and i needed to secure the battrery down properly as well. so while i was at it i made a false floor and front wall for the boot out of wood and carpeted them. here are a few photos of what i did. this is what the boot looked like without the giant sub box in there then we made up a bracket out of stainless steel, bolted that up in the boot, then mesured and cut out a bit of board, then bolted it to the stainless. then cut another bit of wood for the floor and carpeted both bits of wood. and this is what the final product looks like.

last night i took off the rear garnish and put a new calais one on. the old garnish with the old number plates on the new one looks wayy better Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey man. i was speaking to daniel about this yesterday. it looks good on the new rims. as soon as the bay is tidied up it should look a treat. as you said, tidy up the wiring. change intecooler pipe to polished stuff, turbo beanie or polished housing then tidy up as much more of it as u can. throw up some pics of the interior. i dont remember what it looked like when he had it

updates?

Do you know what the white is that your car is sprayed in? It looks a lot better and brighter than the factory alpine white

interior pics ---------- Post added 25-08-10 at 16:54 ---------- heres a pic of the seats without the seat covers. there not VL seats and i have no clue as to what car/model they come out of, so if you think you know what kind of seats they are let me know Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

your dash cluster looks nice as man. i think moey telling me they were possibly VR seats. i can give him a call and find out for you if you like

a few people have told me there VP calais seats.......?

VPC for sure.

today the VL went down to a mates local workshop to get the gearbox and tailshaft taken out. another set of uni joints are going in and a CV joint and possible a new centre bearing as well. the r33 5 speed is getting a new thrust bearing and then hopefully it all should be ready to be dyno tuned!! fingers crossed

Nice work man, white Calais' look sooo good

slammed! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

put the ame's back on. and its not low enough! bay is looking really good man, and those seats will look nice when retrimmed.
