You might well ask. Number of reasons (read excuses). The only reason that the car is off the road is due to a recurring issue of bad workmanship. The car is in to be repainted because the last paint job I had done was too rough. The engine has been out more times than I care to remember . The last two times for leaking rear seal. Prior to that it was due to camshafts being incorrectly installed and ruining the motor. Other than the paint job and the engine the car is finished.
Then there is the me factor. I am pretty much computer illiterate as I have mentioned in a previous post. How I was able to get the picture of my VE up astounded me and I have no idea how I managed to do it. I had hoped to enroll in a computer course for oldies but with the Covid
issue everything is on hold. Our latest lockdown hasn't helped. However if I do managed to enroll in a computer class I will put up photos.
The car itself. 1983 vh sle. 355 vp stroker. Come racing twin throttle body. Pocket ported cylinder heads with 2.02, 1.60 valves. Beehive springs. Camtech 248 520 cam (to be installed). 4 speed auto. The suspension is finished. Camber caster kit, Koni's, coilovers on the front, 4 pot HSV GTS callipers front and rear. 18" ANZ rims with re 003 tyres. 30 mm front roll bar, I think the rear is 19 mm. Strut brace.
Certainly needs pics.
Hoping you can get them up in time.
