Picked this baby up for $1000 bucks. Was going to use her for parts to do up the VL Berlina that I had but this one was way too good to pass up on not fixing up.

Its not much at the moment but its getting stripped as we speak to start the prep work for the paint and hopefully will have that done shortly. There isn't much wrong with the VN, just needs a new coat of paint, small rust spots to be fixed up, new engine mount and new gear box mount.

She runs well! picked it up in melbourne and didn't miss a beat coming back home.

Plus very happy!!! Pulls twins with out much effort

We got back home from melbourne, and then the work started from 5pm till 11pm nackerz worked on getting the motor out so we can prep the engine bay

Nackerz emptied out the oil and this was what came out of her




IT WAS SO THICK!!!

The Interior is going to match the racing seats that I bought heres a picture



so I will get the door trims redone. Not as much pink though. Just where the carpet is in the door and I'll get the back seat reupholstered to match the front seats and the roof lining done as well.

heres some pictures of the engine bay

The engine bay has been painted but will be doing it again as it seems to be a bit dull. Heres some picutres:

Engine bay is all done and the motor back in. Gave the engine a service while it was out, new oil, platnimum plugs etc.

I ended up getting another 1L tin of paint with a little more pearl through it because the pearl in the other tin didn't seem to be enough.

heres some pictures:










DO NOT LET A MATE HELP YOU WITH AN ENGINE CRANE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE ON WHAT TO DO!!!
