Project "Better Than New" 1986 VL Berlina

[derjizm]

Nope, I started this thread 2 years ago with no knowledge of how expensive VL Turbos are.

 

[derjizm]

new pod and gauges

new walbro intank fuel pump

 

[stockies]

The top half of that dashboard really, really needs to be black.

 

[Hoska91]

Have to agree with stockies, the top part of the dash would look much nicer in a black or dark grey

 

[derjizm]

haha

Its not done yet, new turbo soon

 

[derjizm]

hmm, actually, only tonight do I see it now and tend to agree about the dash colour

 

[derjizm]

From top to bottom:

black roof, black top half dash, black pinch weld..
beige lower dash, beige centre console, beige seats..
black parcel shelf, black kick panels, black carpet..

I already have black dash parts spare ATM too, dash pad is mint apart from marks where I would be cutting a hole anyway

 

[stockies]

Lower dash - Tan/Cream
Top of dash - Black
Centre Console - Inserts black, console itself Tan/Cream
A, B and C pillars - Tan/Cream
Roof - Either colour (Black or Tan/Cream)
Door seals - Black
Top of door trims - Black
Rest of door trim - Tan/Cream
Carpet - Tan/Cream
Floor mats - Tan/Cream (Learn to keep em clean)
Parcel Shelf - Tan/Cream - Including Speaker covers
Kick panels - Tan/Cream
Seats - Tan/Cream

And thats how it should look
(Get it photoshopped, if you don't trust me)

 

[derjizm]

ok.. Ill be lucky to get it how I want, already have all the fabric

Rebuild turbo being fitted soon, maybe a hi flowed one. Then looking at getting a Nistune'd ECU and proper tune.

Will be getting a rebuilt turbo auto box eventually, have one ready to go. After that I will be able to actually drive her!

Then to do the paint and interior.

May upgrade to 28 spline axles and diff centre also one day. Maybe a rebuilt engine?
