lol you can buy mine if you want.
double post. whoops
hey guys well. wahsed. polished and waxed the car today with mischas help.
cheers buddy. looking good. now and so does yours.
having your car out on that street at that time of the afternoon are you crazy?? lmao
that mean your still looking for a Calais?buy mine. yay problem solved.
yeah man i still secretly want a Calais. but at the moment im thinking about buying one with a good body and ****. putting it in the garage. and slowly building it up. using my vr as my daily. but trust me if i buy a vl its not going to be a RB30. im thinking maybe an LS1. or just a injection 5 litre.
but thats after im happy with the vr.
probably keep my eyes open for a vl calais wagon if anyone has one for sale.
lol. at least it would be insurable. unlike my car now. but a light vl shell with an ls1 would be pretty sweet. might keep it registered as a rb30 lol
Mate what a colour!!! looks sick bro!!!Cant wait to see some more progress of your beast. .
yeah. it will be a long build but well worth it in the end. its almost holidays time again. so thats more than likely when the conversion will take place.
At the moment the car is up on stands under the car port. been cleaning off all the crap from under the guards so i can properly sound deaden them. i will write up a tutorial once i hav finished it all.
but other than that not much happening. im very happy with the outcome of the polish and wax. got rid of a lot of the smaller scrathes on her
The Fun Starts Today.
Today i picked up the Donor Car for my manual and diff conversion.
drove it back from belmore without a hitch except it smells like crap inside.
the lsd seems rather tight. might have to get it looked at after the conversion but all went well.
Anyone after any vn wagon series 2 parts??
i Will Post up pictures of the wagz tomorrow. after i give it a bit of a wash. and tidy up..

Ok well no real progress to my car to report. but more with the donor car.
i got the manual gearbox, clutch, flywheel, tail shaft and gear box loom out.
now the only things left to take out of it is the pedal box, clutch cable, manual starter motor, manual ecu and engine loom.
then i have to move on to the lsd and taking that out.
only came across one real problem. couldn't get the exhaust off from around the gearbox so i pulled out the angle grinder and cut it off.
