Its taken so long due to my mechanic in Adelaide being so busy and me lacking in the cash flow at times lol. the vl came with a 308 in it which i rebuilt with a mate 3 years ago its a nice warmed over 5 litre but it still didnt go like i wanted it to so pulled the motor back out a 1000ks later and now just sitting in the mechanics workshop waiting for a doner car. Now ive gone all out on the drive train this time round. The first 2 pics are after the roof, front, bonnet and engine bay were repainted a couple of weeks ago. Now its waiting for the motor and box to go into it. Then all the rest of the expensive goodies. The bottom pic is when i first got the car with the 308 still i it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
