Now the cars looking half decent thought i should post up some details 1987 VL BT1 304 V8 Shift Kitted Trimatic Lowered Pacemakers Calais front end and seats HBD XU6 Wheels Calais Taillights Basically Picked it up looking pretty bunky all white and sitting on pursuit rims Straight up had it tinted in 20% and serviced Managed to get hold of some XU6 wheels for a decent price and then had the bottom half painted and fitted chrome door handles so this is how she looks now Picked up some calais taillights on friday night has cleaned up the rear end a little just need to get the centre garnish now No pics of the interior or underbonnet because they both look like **** at the moment the exterior is pretty much where i want it now, so will start on the motor as budget permits for now it will just be a new carby, plugs, leads, tune and minispool before powercruise then will work on getting bigger cam, vn heads highrise manifold etc aiming for 350-400rwhp let me know what you think obviously its nothing special or quick yet but she does a decent skid and has plenty of potential Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

UPDATE New rims, new cam, new lifters, springs and pushrods, new waterpump, thermos fitted tranny cooler fitted. still not huge power but sounds a lot healthier and runs a lot nicer Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Coming along nicely. What's with the Ultra copper along the manifold/block join? Mine's quite wet around there and my coolant level is slowly dropping, so guessing the manifold gaskets are worn and leaking from the water jackets.

that was all around the oil pump thats no longer there the oil pump has been changed and resealed now too
