My VH SL 304

[slo82]

Hello every1,

i thought id post up my project. this is my toy, it is a one owner and has a genuine 93'000km on the clock. it was owned by an old bloke down south and i found it on a showroom floor in a used car lot in Melbourne, i live in Central Queensland so i had it trucked up. the main attraction was the low Kms and totally original unmolested condition. as some of the early girls getting around are so far from factory its hard to tell what they even are lol... it has however a few battle scares from over the 25 years of its life, little dints here and there, nothing to bad not I'm just saving up $$$ to tackle the project doing bits here n there. its no show car and far from perfect but the clean original platform was a great way to start a project. It was however a 173ci 5 speed, so the car clean sure but the drive line was far from exhilarating haha, so out with the little 173 and in with the injected 5.0 5speed...

Future Plans: well basically my plans are this, keep the stock look in and out other than a tasteful sports steering wheel (got a MOMO COMPETITION at the right price the other day), a RipShift for the T5 with a cut down gear stick is nice as i had one in m VR, then just cruise and enjoy and start racking up the miles in the old girl.
Cost: not heaps but more then you would think. HOURS and hours are lost into this thing. i can find myself poking around for a full day on some of the smallest details that most wont even notice yet i cant help it, thats why is a hobby i guess i hope to have is all back together in a few months though. its time i drive this thing, i have only done 40kms in it since i bought it in 2007 and 25kms was the day i bought it so its time for another drive
