Vh sl/e - 1983

[clubsport_replica]

The paint code from the tag says

1B002-B/2J011-D

tag indicates.

1B002 is indigo
2J011 is aztec silver

but it sure dosent look like indigo in those pics. possible respray at some stage.

But that thing looks dead set like the factory paint to me 100%

Looks just like my mates VH,

The SLE always seemed to have a shinier/glossier/mettalic look to the Indigo, to the Full indigo VH.

Awesome starting point mate!

Cheers

It arrived last week.
Looks like the body was resprayed to the lighter blue you now see. The engine bay is still in the original Indigo blue. The car will definitely need a new spay, the roof, bonnet and boot are all faded. So the question is do I go Indigo or the new colour. I have a while to make up my mind though.

Started preping the 202 over the weekend so it can be pulled out, have to get my self a hoist though.

Plan is to fit the 304, get it running and then strip it out and sort out the car body. While the car is getting sprayed i'll freshen up the engine and add a few things (cam, new pistons etc...)

Got a few pleasant surprises along the way. Te car has VK mirrors, 350 Holley, VL fuel tank, clear blinkers and has had the rust under the rear windws repaired. which has really saved me a bit.
not bad for a car that cost $1100


I'll keep you all posted.

UPDATE:
Had time on Saturday to rip out the old 202 block and gearbox from the car and chuck it up on ebay.

Next weekend I plan to clean up the engine bay and get rid of the unwanted wires.

Haha, I was just reading this thread and realised I'm more interested in the eh in the side of the pic.

 

[SLE-883]

I thought that there would be some interest there.

Its my mates. He's owned it for 10 years. It has a worked 186 in it. Last dyno run it pulled about 204HP@wheels and ran a 13.9 @ 103mph

It also had a draw through turbo set up on it for a while
