[87 AVL]

A picture of the front seats will try get some pictures up of the engine bay and better ones of the interior tomorrow

[VL_5SPEED]

looks good

[87 AVL]

Just some pictures of the engine bay still need to do some things to get it running again but its getting there. Also some pictures of the interior.

[87 AVL]

just bought myself some chrome strut caps and chrome dome nuts for strut tower will put up pics when I get them

[<atomicL93>]

judging by the looks of the inlet manifold im guessing this use to be turbo?

[detox_nath83]

yeah i think so too man.. as the plenum is set up to recieve the IC piping and not swinging over the cover

[87 AVL]

Thanks for the comments, the car has not been turboed yet I bought the manifold because i was going to turbo it. But now Im not however i still put the manifold on because i had it here and thought i might as well use it and I also think it looks a lot better than standard.

[detox_nath83]

i would cover that hole where the airbox used to be bruz as it is a defect jacks may not like it

[87 AVL]

yeah I will be welding in a new peice and same as on the other side because when I cut out the battery tray there was some rust under it.

[nasty1]

very nice and the forward facing plenum is difrent on a non turbo vl i like it its unique

[87 AVL]

just some more pictures of my engine bay with my new strut caps

[nasty1]

i got the same caps how much did you pay?

[vsl67]

Good to see someone else is putting some effort into their engine bay appearance Top stuff mate

[87 AVL]

bow down: my strut caps cost $80

vsl67: thanks

[tobyp]

I have now got the car running good I have also fixed up the rust from where the battery tray was and welded in a new piece where the big hole was in the guard the only thing now to do is put the battery in the boot and wire it up then i can start spending some money on other things for the car

[87 AVL]

I have now finished wiring up the battery in the boot and have bought myself a walkinshaw scoop and by next week I should have some new rims on my car when I get the walkinshaw scoop and rims on I will take a picture and I will put a picture up of how the engine bay looks now
This is how the car looks at the moment
