Its been 14 months, he's probably gone if this hasn't been updated....


Looks ****in nuts tho! Love S pacs, and even better with SS spotties.

 

[spauldj308]

Still here, just havent updated it cause I havent really done anything!

Fitted a Manta grille, custom plates. Few pics from Powercruise and the drags:

And the sub box under construction, ignore the duct tape.

Got a bit of a fancy centre console too, but no pics yet.

Looks great, the Manta grille came up very well. Nice work.

Alright, so apparently its been a while..

A few updates:

VS Statesman interior

Detailed the engine bay

New wheels, 19x8.5 Speedy Cheetahs

Rebuilt the cylinder heads after the valve stem seals started leaking, de dagged and smoothed the ports while I was at it

I was pretty happy with the condition on the inside, the bores still have hone marks. This engine has done 240 000 kilometres.

Took it to Powecruise, here is a pic with the boot all loaded up - its not usually quite that low.

Centred the exhaust in the cutout and mounted a fire extinguisher in the boot

And at powercruise

Got bored, cleaned up and painted a spare manifold

MACE Engineering high ratio rockers

Then bought a new daily, to replace my old N13 Pulsar. VSII manual, V6. Something thats bearable to drive while I pull the VR off the road.

Unsure of where I want to go with this car now. Being an S, I would like to keep it a six and drop an L67 or similar into it. But if a cheap 5 litre pops up, I will jump on to that. Being in Tasmania makes it a bit hard, there are about 3 decent wreckers in the state and they hold a bit of a price monopoly. I'll figure something out, at any rate.
