hey people, (23/5/12 CAR HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND ON THE ROAD)
just a quick post of the replica vl walkinshaw i am building(full start to finish build pictures and updates in the thread)
i have had vls before which have been sold with regret,i have all ways loved the looked of the vl walkinshaw best shape to date i reckon(was way ahead of its time)
i now have 3 cars and was driving past a car yard when i seen this vl for $1400 with 3months rego, couldn't go past it,so thrashed it until the rego ran out and gave my vt clubby a rest,had every thing a vl does, including the rust lol.
also had 17inch mags,5speed manual,good old rb30 and neat as trim(which has now all been sold)
so thought i would do a search on ebay to sus out what i could do to it and found a walkinshaw body kit for $1500!!! so the plan is to make it a replica.
then the compulsive buying begun all brand new: full badge/sticker kit/tail lights/boot mould/light moulds/garnish/door and window belts/mirror's/door handles/wiper arms/front window moulds/boot rubber/solex locks/Arial/vl Calais dash cluster and scored a complete vl series 2 "blue" Calais interior fairly cheap.
i also brought a complete running vn Calais for $1000 i kept the engine and suspension and sold the rest of it for $1200.
i have had the rust repaired and a complete "professional" respray in panorama silver(2b053 for those that want to know the paint code)
has now got a vl v8 disc diff and a complete vn v8 front end and also the vn v8 engine which was fully rebuild,bored 30tho new pistons,bearings, timing chain, brand new injectors,oil pump,heads where shaved with a new cam and lifters.valve guides, and a recondition t5 v8 gearbox which i got of my mate fairly cheap,
then had the complete front end rebuilt-shocks, control arms,sway bar,tie rod ends,discs,brakes,rubbers you name it they were replaced(my old man is an x mechanic so labor cost me nothing).
the body kit was a pain in the ass to fit,it was one of the eBay specials me and my brother in-law had to ex-stand the side skirts and make new brackets for the door trims that was a task and a half!(at least 4 cases of beer and 4 weekends)
i have subs,dvd player,screen,auto meter gauges,sport steering wheel,genuine walkinshaw wheels all ready to go on,
i got a walkinshaw build badge of 423,
over all has been a great build with a lot of new things learnt,the car would owe me about $10,000 including purchasing it.
let me know if you have any ideas/questions,cheers.
