Thanx guys

Anyway knocked off work at 11 O'Clock today...... so i droped passed my m8's work, (Mechanic) chucked the car up on the Hoist to see how the car look under it.... AND its FKN Clean for an 88 VL, I did find some things that are yelling out "CHANGE ME" quick Smart. like Brakes still has drum brakes on the back, change the diff and spool it the cooler had a hole in it, fixed that whist it was there.

But as for rubbers and stuff even though there old non of them are cracked/split or damaged to the point where they need to be changed, but im gunna put Pedders right thought the car.

anyway here are some pics of it up on the hoist, and a pic that might make you laugh.
