Hey guys I thought i might just introduce myself i bit more rather than just being a random commenter and popping up everynow and then. Ive owned my VL for 2 years now , its a manual 5speed RB30e which im keen to upgrade and slap on a turbo one day ive only just painted it a few months back from Holden Red to a Gunmetal Grey with a Slight Blue Pearl , 2 tone with Silver. Havent done much to the car as much as i dont have a job at the moment but im looking around so i can buy some brand new parts for it! I also changed the water pump , as the old one rusted out and pretty much fell to bits. Ive had to put in a new exhuast/Cat and Muffler Tip from PitStop which set me back $750 but it had to be done to get the warrent and couldnt look alse were ! Its had lots of rust in the boot , and had to get the boot well cut out and weld a new plater onto it. I bought it with the wheels it has , and the Group 1 Rear Spolier and Front Bumper Here's some pictures Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks like a nice paint job man, I just don't like the wing or the plastic window covers on it

Looks good Man, keep us posted on future upgrades Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'll PM you about the trim

Wow! The colour made a big difference. Looks good!

looks good man,awsome paint work for a home job,are you a painter?

yeah , big difference in attention too ! dont get funny looks from bikers and the police no more LOL but nah im not a painter but we had a mate who was real keen to do the job so yeah ! big ups for him ! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that paint job looks pretty awesome for something done in a bloody car port! good work!

bugger , saw a mechanic today , told me i needed a new driveshaft and i believe him since everytime i accelerate a sharp noise [metallic sorta sound :S dont know how to describe] comes from underneath , and when he hoisted it up , it wasnt in too much of a good shape. so was wondering what should i do ? go to the wreckers ? or something ?! so suggestions please !!

could just be the ahnger beringman,find out whats wrong with it>could be an easy fix

New driveshaft sounds pretty radical - not much on 'em that can't be replaced. What do you mean when you say it's not in a good shape? Wreckers would be a good start for a "new" one. Pick a part is usually pretty good too!

lets hope so , dont know what else to do , so im turning to you guys for advice here Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i ment hanger bering lol,not much can go wrong with them

the auto and manual rear half of the drive shaft are the same, as for the front half you willl need a manual one,2L or 3L the same, someone correct me if im wrong

they vibrate alot when you get airbourne then land like the dukes of hazzard.....my poor old vacationer....lol

i have a manual drive shaft,i might be willing to sell,butmy bet is that it will be the hanger bering or mounting,thats really the only thing that can go wrong
