skid2leave's VS Berlina

[skid2leave]

Hey guys I thought I'd throw my small project up after reading some awesome build threads, I had a vs ss 5 speed but got over the whole manual phase and IRS + ultra lows meant tyres were a regular..

So i sold it because I had lost my licence and wasn't interested in buying a car until a mate called me up asking if I wanted a 5 litre engine out of his brothers 'written off' vs berlina, I went around and saw that he has hit a gutter and pushed the diff to the side a fair bit, So i offered him somthing ridiculous and he was over the moon that he had sold it.

Got it home and the next morning I had adjusted the panhard rod and took her for a spin but somthing was clunking around, it was just the centre bearing.. So all I've had to replace was a centre bearing and I bought 2 unis just to freshen it up and I've picked up a bargain 5 litre!

What I've gathered up so far.. (Im going to gather most of the stuff and do it all in one big hit..)

Torquepower hi rise manifold,
FAST, throttle body
B&M shift improver kit
Corvette Servo
B&M ratchet shifter
3.9 diff gears
Crane 286 cam, lifters, springs

Planning to:
port & polish heads
Mini spool
Twin 3 inch exhaust with twin dump tips
Gilmer belts
AU twin thermos
Buy new tyres
Centre caps
Chrome dress rims
Twin Bosch 044's
MSD blaster coil
Probably lots more but i cant think of them all...

Body wise so far, all Ive done is de badge it, and remove the 18s for steelies.

Get my licence back mid aug so i have a bit of time to play around...

Overall im happy with it and hope to get the stealth look in the end

Everyones opinion welcome!
