ok guys here it is.. and the story
i got this car about 2 months ago for 550 bucks (yes i got it that cheap) the reason why is that the guy who had it at his house just wanted it gone out of the backyard so he could mow his lawns n build his shed (it was his sons car)
i got told about the car and immeadeatly went there and had a look
he produce a reciept with this list
acid bathed block
forged rings and pistons
nitrided crank (blue printed and balanced)
stage one cam
all bearing housing machined and matched
malpassi rising fuel reg system
upgraded fuel system
it had blown seals in the t3
and a fair bit of ancer in the back and front window
so far it has been sitting at mum's every since i got it and only a few people have seen it and cant believe i got it for that price
so hear is some pics
enjoy

the guy didnt know much about cars to be honest he jus saw it as a vl lol
his son was well into them and got it all done a speed pro it was located in frankston, did a background check on some work they did and people i spoke to said thay were real good
it wil get a major service aand tune before she gets on the road compression test etc
no stone wil be left unturned before she is on the road
especially because i wil b crusing next to dixie most of the time lol
well... he wil be trying to keep up * throws out baait waiting for bite*
