Some shots of the interior. (Needs a good clean up)
As i said it needs a good clean up.
The worst thing about the white and black is the way it reflects on the windscreen.
Not sure if i like the jack daniels, But i do like the black and white theme.

Yeah when we take the 6 out we're gonna do some work to the engine bay.
I'm gonna redo the interior and take the jack daniels off the dash.
It used to belong to a bunch of bogans hence the J.D,
It was orinally jim beam until the guy figured out that they sponsor fords, so he went for J.D, even had stickers up the side at one stage.

My VL Walkinshaw replica project
Yeah i'm gonna go with a t5 till i can get some cash together for a decent one, will just have to take it easy lol
Dads killed about a dozen t5s in his torana, they dont like being behind a 400hp 355.

how you going with it, any updates?
My VL Walkinshaw replica project
Sadly no, I've hit a bit of a wall with money
It's sittin in the driveway out of rego at the moment.
Fingers crossed I'll have it re-registerd next week.
How much you guys reckon a body kit like that would cost?
Holden special vehicles
i paid $1400 for mine was one of the eBay specials, though the guy selling them went missing lol,Originally Posted by richest2010
now they have good quality ones for around 2k.
to be honest if you're not very good with fiberglass/nicky/and sh*t loads of stuffing around just get the aussie made kit which has all the proper mounting points etc.

The guy i brought my car off supplied reciepts for all the body works, cost him $2500 for the kit fitted and painted.
Good news on the v8 conversion.
got some bigger slotted brakes and v8 springs.
And will be changing to 28 spline axle disc brake rear end very soon.
Will be ordering rings and bearings and a gasket kit for the 330 on monday.
Sad Sad Sad
I hit a deer this morning at about 630
It's not too bad, could have been a lot worse i suppose.
Dented the front apron, smashed head light and indicator, dented the gaurd, put a hole in my side skirt.
So glad it didn't come through the windscreen or something.
I'm amazed the front spoiler survived in one piece
Been quoted $350 to fix it up.
Holden special vehicles
not good to hear,i hope the deer is dead!
that is a cheap fix and surprised the bar held up,they seem flimsy as.
My VL Walkinshaw replica project
yeah it was definately dead lol
It didnt go under the car, sort of bounced of to the side, so i think that's why it survived.
It was only a small one so I'm pretty lucky i guess.
Yeah it is cheap. I've never seen his work before tho, and you know what they say, you get what you pay for.

Pics or it didn't happen :P
I'll upload some pics when i get some decent internet, ours has been slowed.
Just a few little updates.
Replaced the clutch and pressure plate today with a heavy duty exedy one.
Planning on upgrading the front brakes to 290mm slotted with vt calipers tommorrow. (Weather permitting)
Hopefully I'll be able to get a few photos as i go.
Will be getting some vn axels shortened so i can use the lokka diff centre i have sitting in the shed and some vn disc brakes on the back.
Also Planning on turboing the rb30 as plans for the v8 have fallen through.
Also got a vl dash mat to cover the horrible jack daniels on the dash.
