Hey All, A little update around the VT, managed to get it cranking and supplying fuel happily, and also made sure I had the distributor in properly, and had it sounding much happier with much less backfiring, then for reasons I don't know he gave up and sold it for not much, I am a tiny bit...

Hey all, been doing a little bit here and there with my friends 5L, I helped him to replace the fuel, heater and vacuum lines from around the back of the engine, and replace the distributor, and inlet manifold gaskets. I have been able to get it cranking over happily and have noticed it likes...

Hopefully these work, I had the view permissions set to private, so they should be working, if not I'll imgur them I took these later at night so hopefully they are respectable.

Hey all, I have been working on my Friends 5l, he put the cluster in his other VT and it had nearly 330,000, so I'm in the middle over that giving the condition of the car, it seems to turn over by hand fine so at at least the chances of bottom end problems are less, but i have included a few...

From what I know he intends to bring it back to life and drive it, I did strongly recommend him to give a Vehicle inspection centre a call and make sure he isn't pouring money into something that cant be put back on the road. I also recommended finding another shell or a sick V6 put the V8 in...

Hey, I personally haven't had a really good look but I can tell stuff is missing and damaged, it's engine wiring harness has been hacked to buggery and there is a heck of a lot of rust stains around the radiator support and chassis rails, half of the fuel injectors are missing the engine...

Hey all, here is another update on the old bird, I have upgraded my gas injection kit that I had stashed away as well as finishing a few niggles with its climate control upgrade and putting most of the under bonnet A/C lines, condenser receiver drier TX valve. then of course Murphy had to visit...

Hey all, sorry if this has been asked to death but I would like to know more about the VT 5 litres, I have a friend who has recently bought one in a pretty rough condition and I have been asked if I could help get it running again, I have been doing basics on it but I know almost nothing on...

hey all, another long over due update. I have the Verada progressing well towards roadworthy status, I've finally gotten around to pulling the heads to give a freshen up, i had a few surprises in store for me starting with a known leak at the rear bank exhaust manifold, I was thinking it was...

hey all, a lot has happened since the last update, I have done an AU motor and transmission into the old girl, I got my LPG shop to do it as they have done heaps of AU conversions in the past. it took 3 days but the end result was worth it as now it now doesn't sound like a ticking time bomb...

yeah, I had priced up doing a major service, and that's probably why the right front calliper has gone sticky, the person who gave it to me said that if it was completely rooted when I tried to start it, that if it had a blown bottom end or transmission to just get rid of it to Upullit, or as I...

Yeah, when I got it it home it was filthy, it had sat under a tree for 5 odd years, so the engine bay was full of spider webs, leaves, and a lot of oil and grime, I cleaned up the engine bay with a s##t load of degreaser before I removed the trans to get to the torque converter, as it had ground...

I know, I like pain, but I cant afford bondage equipment, and hey it was free, I had the idea to fix it up a bit then look into swapping it for a VT or VX wagon, then I could be in a Holden again. I am a member already there, nutcase96 is my user name there. you would be right with me having...

hey all, nothing much has happened on the Verada, I've done a bit more work and a set of more recent and better photos, as well as have a good look at the under body and found the Left side inner and outer boots have torn, the inner C.V joint grease had mixed with water and the outer was more...

Hey all, this is a new toy for me, a 1994 KS XI in Aspen green metallic over quartz silver, it was given to me as a 21st birthday present from a family friend, I got it not running with a chewed out starter motor pinion as well as the ring gear had taken a beating, but I fixed it and done the...
