    Might be interested but can you put up pics of the rust you mentioned? Also, what exactly is wrong with the pop up lights, hopefully nothing too major as replacements are an absolute **** to find.

    pop up lights is a wiring issue, I know the motor works 100% and all the arms etc are all working fine. I found that after it rained they stopped working and when it dried out they worked again, so maybe a fuse has blown now? not 100% on that one. and the rust il get some photos up for you now, il just go take them now.

    Ok, here are the photos

    The rust is behind the front wheel arches on both sides, i took it to a mechanic to have a roadworthy done and this is the only rust they found on the chassis. They called it the front rails or something.

    lol thanks mate, yeah if it didn't have the rust i would have never bought my VT. Everytime i went to upgrade, i had to fork out to fix somthing. So i didnt want to fix the rust. But i have convinced dad to let me keep a project car in the garage. so if this doesn't sell, well you will all be seeing it in a few years looking a lot better (and quicker). I plan on spending the cash from this if i sell it on another project, im hoping a vn

    Yeah i know what you mean about constantly having to fix stuff everytime you upgrade... I'm looking at buying a VK next year for a bit of a project. I'm curious, what do you do as a job? Got a fair bit of cash floating around?

    yeah, i just got sick of it, speaking of fixing some stuff. I have fixed the pop up lights on the VL Calais now. The relay is buggerd. so il get a new one to make sure it was the problem. Um this may suprize you, but i havnt had a job EVER. i had one for like 6 months and a fruit shop thats it, I used to goto tafe doing IT but the course was terrible. So i do nothing currently lol. But yeah, theres a enough cash around for me.
