Looks like the twin 2.5 inch over the diff is a no go. Gets too close to the fuel lines/pump. Gone with berkly mufflers and 3inch over the diff.

Hi All, I'm still here. The car has been in storage since the birth of our son Lucas in May.

I'll look into finishing this off in the next 12 months. Before I packed it up I managed to get the car almost ready for rego. Just have to sort out a few minor things such as horn, wipers and speedo. All the electric windows apart from the drivers also need attention. not sure if this is a rego issue though. Are there any universal/aftermarket electric window kits availalble???

Unfortunately the Car will be up for sale soon.

I've owned it for nearly 5 years and was slowly finishing the car but with the birth of my first kid, i have no time or the desire any more to finish this off. Pity because next step was to get a few minor things fixed (wipers, horn etc) ready for blue slip.

I'll make a for sale thread shortly.

Hi All,

Just picked up a 1983 VH SL/E

Is currently a straight 6 but will be replaced with a VR 5L from a Calais with HSV upgrades

I can see it's going to be a long and slow process but I'll try to keep you all posted along the way.

Here are the first pics of the car in Melbourne
