Motor is a 308 with flat tops, 10:5.1 compression, big cam, Brock heads and manifold, modified quaddy and dizzy, 3000 stall, VL diff.
200rwk.

I've intentionally left the engine bay looking factory. I don't know, I just like the look of factory with added performance. Interior is original.
The obvious non original items are the V5 Simmons, but i still have the SLE's wheels.

I've owned quite a few SLE's in my time but this is certainly my favourite :)

absolutely LOVE it mate
The V5 Simmons are the perfect choice, glad you haven't ruined it with Tonka toy wheels

I love how you have kept everything original looking, yet has no shortage of power
Well done, one of the best I've seen

Very nice, love the standard engine bay and the choice of wheels. Have you ever considered colour coding the Simmons Mercury Silver to match the bottom half of the car?

It sits really nicely too, what springs/shocks have you got in it?

Damn, that looks tops ;) Will look through my collection, may have an unmolested passenger side quarter vent here :) This wasnt the red one from the southern highlands? It had the same rims and some other matching features..

No, bought it from Melbourne. It had the SLE wheels on it but I had my own Simmons and put them on instead.
Yeah, the quarter vents both are held in by screw. Trying to find some on Ebay :)

Really nice, great choice of wheels, I have V5 Simmons on my VH too. Have you ever considered colour coding them Mercury Silver to match the bottom half of the car?

Love the way it sits too, what springs/shocks do you have in it?
