had one of these the other day in brisbane
had v8 twin carb (not exactly sure what motor..... and carby motors not my speciality (lol)as was only in for new seat frames
had steel wheels with wheel covers (plastic crap standards)
but had tubbed rear and wide as tyres on it went good as but was a true sleeper like even the old school BLINDS in the back window

^^^ cool...
bit of an update..... a while back i got all new shockers sl springs new front bar and a genuine calais front nose cone... oh and a set of 18s 4 free.... also got a nice crack in the front windscreen 4 free aswell

and this is my model that i have chopped (not just glueing the wheels in the arch) properly as in dropping diff and front springs and still also chopped the roof line haha

its currently sitting on the front lawn awaiting transport 2 a shed 2 start getting stripped and rebuilt I miss driving it tho makes my $2000 vt feel gutless.... oh wait, it is gutless haha. Shes not gonna see the road 4 a while. Taking my time cbecause i dont wanna rush it and stuff it up. Be a shame 2 stuff up such a nice vl body with a tight running gear.
Anywho gonna try and swap my vt 4 my mates vn ss haha. He has 1 sitting in the shed and i told him it has2 be driven not colleting dust so his thinkin about swapping

Installed some goodies yesterday should help with handling considering all the old bushes in the a$$ were stuffed

Also got another set of new shoes. Got them on my vt and i think they suit the vl better so they have a new home

Also the new springs I bought are 3cm 2 low in the front. So I gotta take them out unless i wanna see my wagon go 2 regency. (cops down here in victor are real bad atm for defects)
