Just a quick thread to show my rig.. Or actually just do I can ask questions in here and ask for parts rather than try to deal with the pain that is the wtb section on here!

Car is a 1981 vc sl 308 with trimatic, drives great, starts well and is great for cruising!

When I bought car:

Hdt air tray
Manual steering swap- in shed still to do
Filter through bonnet- in shed still to do
Replaced all globes inc console to led but dash- ( dash to do still)
Custom parcel shelf with basic stereo
Removed gas kit
Line locker- in shed still to do

Lots of other little touches, any questions just ask:)

CURRENTLY CHASING A SET OF ULTRA LOWS PLEASE

^please pm me!


Any input or ideas by all means throw em my way.
Next up after the ultra lows I plan to widen the interceptors to 8.5" wide with big dish and fo some panel smoothing etc.

Long term is t700 with either a tuf 11:1 308 or a pd blown 304.

Question: other than whipple and yt what valley blowers are there for the 304s?

Cheers,
Aaron.

Looks great mate, been waiting for some pics of your ride :p

How hard was the new carpet install been meaning to do it to mine for a while but was wondering if it's a big job seems like all you would need to do is remove the seats center console etc and pull it up and replace with the new molded ones??

Ha ha not a fancy ride bro.
But Needs more low asap.

And Correct...

I got a thicker, plush one piece carpet as it looks and feels quite a bit nicer than the thin two piece factory.

I'd say it's easily worth the effort:)

Love the VC.
Are those the 16 inch chaser wheels that i have heard about?
I'd buy those Super lows seeing as you are getting Ultra Lows but I am in Qld :(

Cheers..

Yea their the 16" chasers. They look ok now but with an extra 1" of dish I think they will be tuf as:)

Postage isn't much if your honestly wanting a cheap set of sl's..

I just gotta score some ultras first!

Also I finally got my ass around to fitting my chrome radiator resivour tank today..

It's not where I wanted to put it as my Trans cooler lines were in the road but it looks alright IMO.

About time you started a thread on this one. If your going for the JDM look, why not go HDT flares and 10 & 12 inch chasers FTW.

Ha ha yea I just didn't want it to be a "look at my boring car" thread.. But I need the input and help!

I considered the flares but don't think I will. Yea this is hopefully gunna be a jdm/euro muscle styled vc. Trying to prove you don't need to turn a holden into a yanko to be cool;)
