G'day fellas Im new to this forum and I am looking to pick up my first car this friday I've been on my P's for 2 months and dad found a nice looking 86 VL berlina for sale through a website that his work develops. We had a drive of the car and sussed it out it seemed great. There are a few things im concerned about though. This car I looked at has rear drum brakes, but dont berlina's have rear disc brakes? or is the only the 87 model and onwards? Also things like cruise control and power windows. Having power windows isnt such a big deal to me but dont berlinas come with cruise and power windows as standard or are they optionals? The odometer stopped on about 173,000kms but the seller seemed confident that it was on about 190,000kms. (so i'd have to assume its on about 220-230 thou.) As the odo has ceased functioning would there be a way to get it working again? i'd understand if i need to pull out the dash to fix this so im all cool with doing that.. Lastly We have an '87 VL berlina wagon thats sitting out in our backyard and I am wondering whether I could pull the disc brakes off that and install them onto the sedan? can I just do a straight swap or would it include pulling the differential off? any clues on how to do that would be much appreciated... P.S sorry if there are already posts on some of the questions asked but I need to ask them all as one. Thanks Matt Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

did you ever find a solution to that odometer problem? in the same boat here

dump it on a set of interceptors and it would look tuff

take that rear window thing off would b were i would start.

has anyone noticed how old the original post is

and did anyone notice the post date is the same as the join date lol
