cheers db08, i need to polish it now and start cleaning it up for road worthy! went to a blokes house tonight with a smashed one, to get the mirrors, no luck, his were manual ones... ended up getting a hand full of screws mine is missing.

might hire the britex machine on the weekend, do the rooms, and the cars!

One thing I've noticed with the orange one, besides the fact it has had more hits than Elvis, it has no car park dents! Usually a 26 year old car looks like a ripple strip!

i got bored today, so i fitted a different grille, its from a 'Passage'  im also currently wiring up the AC fan to work manually from a switch on the dash (i fitted a 2nd rear demister switch in an empty spot) so i can activate the fan when i please or anticipate high load/low speed.

productive day, i finally bolted the pod on properly, not just one bolt holding it to the AFM, and i got the AC fan all wired up as an auxillary.

fan switch, that will confuse the buggery out of people, no point buying a new toggle switch when i had this lying around and it is more than capable of the job.


relay and wiring, on the right hand strut tower






bye bye VL... bloody shit tin... god i hated that thing, and im sure it hated me... fuel tank ruptured and a slow leak raped the poor grass, then as it was dragged on the truck it managed to leak fuel out UP HILL!! how the does that happen, how can fuel leak up hill?



LOL the boot of the Vl had most of the interior in it, and all the fluids from the car, i also stripped out all the stainless moulding, the wiring, heater core and AC evaporator, no point leaving valuable copper, brass, stainless steel and ally in the car.

These mounted under the front bar, i reckon would give it the 80's jap look big time!

ACTUALLY,if you could get a set to either fit or be fitted into the two slots next to the number plate in line with the indicators that would look way Cool

you could probably get some slim line LED lights that size!

actually im sure i have some lights at my parents that would work pretty well in there...

and unfortunatly i cant put a front number plate in the middle for now... some nugget has lost the clips that go in the bar for the screws... i do have a 'fully sick and hektic' side mount made up here some where that goes in on the indicator.

Noice,haven't noticed before this shot,but looks like there is a bit of touch up body and paint to be done on the front drivers side.

All silver needs to be done again... typical country car, full of stone chips, and under it looks no better!

I may send it in and have the roof rust fixed, its about the size of a 5c/10c coin, the sill looked at, under the fenders fixed and have the silver done agian, depends on how much of a smile it brings to my face when i get it on the road :)

if i dont smile, ill get the 2pak out and a gun and just do it myself, bog the roof up and put sikaflex under the fenders ;) also falls back to the price, its a $700 car at the end of the day...

in other news im looking at purchasing a 'lokka' for it, its a mechanical locker, locks under acceleration, unlocks when you back off they are a  better option than a minispool, or a full spool, but no where as good as a KAAZ or a tru-track, but better than the 'cone type' Borg Warner LSD...

Get a ballistic case for it. Mine has survived 2 years of both mine and the kids dropping it.....It costs a bit, but it is worth it imo.
