Gday guys. Just thought id put up some pics of my build thats been happening since last october. I pretty much built it from a shell and used most of the parts from my other vl which had to bite the dust due to rust. Its sapphire black metallic. Minor things done to the body inckuded vn fuel filler cap, remover passenger lock and aerial. Its good to build up a car from nothing as you see it coming together but is something ill only do once! All it needs now is the driveline and some fr19's. A big thanks to steve (sikcalais) for the paint job. It is exactly what im after and looks awesome in the sun. ---Pics of the front---

Yeah yellow pages. Its havnt hooked up the handbrake yet. All wires will be hidden. Fuse box has been relocated as well as the overflow reservoir and wiper water so there will be nothing on the strut towers

Rb25/30, gt3540, autronic, argo rods, transbreaked 3 speed, poncams etc. I want something that is still good to drive on the street and capable of a 9. I was contemplating going a 2 speed with a bigger turbo but i thought driving it on the street would not be as fun. What would you guys do?
