Also never open zip files. If there is a link in the email and you use Chrome hover over link and look at the bottom left of your screen - the real address is shown. amazing how many links are not the same as the details typed in the email.

This is a very simplistic view. My youngest brother was 27 when he was diagnosed with MS. He worked for as long as he could and felt terrible going on "sickness benefits". There was no way on earth he would have been able to take out Income Protection insurance as no insurer would have...

I think the fact that the last one is covered in camouflage it suggests that this could be a new model. Either way I'm not a fan of what they look like..

Well the VL has gone. It was good fun whilst I had it and I certainly did enjoy it. Will have my eye out for another challenge... still prefer either a VC or VH.

Will be taking the thermostat/radiator out over the next few days. Think I will change to thermos which will clean the engine bay up a bit as well.

Yep - there are adaptor kits on eBay at times or you may find them on the CT forum

Good comment thanks for adding value

Somehow I missed this comment! There is a cruise on with SC next weekend - are you going on that?

Given you are sub contracting you need to talk to your accountant about the best way to structure the loan. There are a heap of different options but you need to ensure that you can claim everything you need to so you get the best return. BTW - I was in finance for over 30 years - I ain't going...

Car's looking good - sorry that we didn't get a chance to actually chat!

Agree - it has come up well.. especially given how much it cost for the wiring :S Remo **Removed Amount** It would be good to get out on a cruise - will see how it goes. Thanks - I have a great guy (Iggy at Gow St in Padstow) who has done work on my cars and my brothers cars previously.

Got the quote for fixing the pain - it will be about $800. It has been listed for sale now.. Some updated photos...

Taking her over to the panel shop on Saturday to get a quote on fixing the paint etc.. ahh more $$ to be spent..

Thanks guys.. I got the car back on Saturday and I am wrapped with the outcome. All Gauges work including Speedo (it didn't work before), pretty much rewired the bay and tidied it up. Immobiliser and central looking installed, monster tacho goneeee (anyone want one?) new relays (there wasn't a...

Well I checked the progress and let's just say I am really happy that I took it to an expert to look at. I think it was a disaster waiting to happen... now I wonder where I can find some $$$$$ to pay for it...

I'm off tomorrow morning to check on the progress of the, what is now, full re-wire... How deep are my pockets... will update once I've seen it tomorrow.

Car is in the shop getting the wiring and gauges sorted. Going to try and hide as much wiring as possible and sort out the wiring from the fuse box to.. well everywhere. It will be in there for a few weeks but it will be worth it. Looking forward to taking her out for a proper cruise when it is...

Funny I'm thinking of ditching those wheels - want something a bit more simpler.

Quick pic from yesterday after a bit of a local drive (the car does need a wash though!!)

Thanks mate - I need to get some new pics up and will do if this rain ever stops! You will see what we have done to sort the firewall out :) The wiring is really the next thing that I will get sorted. Looking at taking it to a auto-elec and get it sorted properly. Hopefully it won't be too many...

UPDATE!! Spent some time finally getting the front end sorted. Turns out the springs look like they are Kings for a 6 cylinder. Replaced with Ultra Lows for a 8. Now handles so much better and sits slightly higher. When pulling it apart last weekend found one of the rotors scored. So decided...

Looks good and congrats on getting it on the road. I need to get back into mine now that I'm back from our holiday. Going to sort the front end next weekend and then onto the speedo and temp gauge. It would be good to get together and compare cars, let me know if you feel like a drive.

Hey Lazza, thanks! Yes it is the one that was on eBay. There will be some more pics up in the coming weeks.

Thanks mate! I need to check that out. The cable is coming through the floor but isn't tuning, which makes me think it's missing a gear.. Clutch and pedal box all sorted. I need to take some pics of the firewall but it came together. Lot's more to go though.. I've just posted up a thread...

Hi Guys! So I have been stalking and checking a few threads out to see how I can resolve some issues with my ride. I thought it was about time that I posted up some pics. I took these pics when I brought the VL home about 6 weeks ago. So far we have sorted the rear brakes (handbrake...

I need to hook my speedo up - did you use the standard speedo? Where did you get the cable from? Is there any way of using the standard gauges - I'm trying to keep the stock feel inside the cabin.

Hi, i will do as soon as I sort some things out. Seems the guy I bought mine off was dodgy. I have spent the weekend sorting the rear brakes out (which then meant new axle bearings) because he had put the handbrake shoes around the wrong way.. I'm positive the pedal box is out of a VP thus my...

Hi Mate, great work on the conversion! I just bought a VL with a 304 EFI and T5. Do you have any pics of the firewall where your clutch cable comes through? Mine is looking a bit dodgy and I want to see what I need to do to sort it.
