Been a member here for years, not really active till now, thought I would update my ride... Some will know me from around the traps...
Been a fairly turbulent ride for this car, Picked up a Vb SLe to cruise in, Factory as, mint condition factory 202, 90,000km's
Was one owner from 1979 to 2012, Then the old lady had her license revoked and her grandson wound up with it, He sold it on to fund his VL project....
Current spec:
Name: Garrett
Model: 79 Vb SLe
Colour: Blue
Body: Factory
Engine Type: 253 V8
Engine Mods: Edelbrock performer manifold, 1" Carby riser, Rochester Quadrajet, Gilmer Kit, A/c delete, Hot cam
Power: None
0-400: Still going
Exhaust: single 2.5" no cat, dumped at diff
Gearbox: Trimatic, Aftermarket cooler
Diff: Factory
Brakes: Disks all round
Suspension: Lovells all round, Rake
Wheels/Tyres: Simmons B45's
Interior: Factory, Mint condition, Lambswool seat covers
Stereo: Alpine deck, Pioneer coax
Build Period: 34Years
Contacts: Albion Park Bowling Club
Mate borrowed her and near wrote it off...
So the rebuild began, just a bunch of mates having a go, none of us are panel beaters etc
Had a donor car with a 253, so we swapped it over...
Now she is just a mint weekend cruiser:
Massive first post, but that's where we are up to...
