my rescued vl

[walkierep]

hi thought i would put a pic of my mistreated vl that i took pity on and bought to save it from anymore abuse this is what it looked like when i bought it it's looking happier now though

the previous owner had a rebuilt rb30 put in it and he also put a rebuilt auto trans in it but got the shits and put it up for sale cause he couldn't get the transmission to work (he didn't bolt it to the motor or put transmission fluid in it)

you bought this? looks like he shouldve paid you to take it lol. full restore??

 

[walkierep]

yes paid $100 for it basically only bought the new battery thats in it he spent some money though on it receipts total $1000 spent so it's kind of a bargain it's a diamond in the rough do's have good bones though and i put better looking wheels on it to

least its got a tacho haha. whats the inside like apart from messy?

 

[walkierep]

lots of pop rivets and gaffa tape holding things together velour seats in average condition its a berlina model oh best thing was there was $70 in change under the back seat but about $30 was monopoly money so it actually worked out quite well. the other thing i was told it's supposed to have a turbo motor in it how can i find out what it had in it originally

Farrrk man, she was a rough'n. Good to see you're going to fix her up a bit

Wheels look like Nascar rims With the sticky stuff on the door skins, you can use either prepsol and a rag, will take a while, even try scratch most of it off with your finger nail, or if you're going to prime over it, scrape it off with a razor blade, lol then sand it smooth - prime :thumbsup:

Looking better already but, keep it up!
