Thank god for the that. Open up the oil return at the back near the dizzy. And hack into that and get it super smooth

I wish you bastards would stop building cars like these and posting up pics, makes me want to go out and by a VL shell and build another one    Seriously though, nice work, keep the updates flowing!!

Nice man. Will be following this!

I’m doing the same thing, up to taking the dash out. Any issues getting it out or anything I should know about?

Cheers

Yep check/google so you know where all the screws are lessen chance of breaking dash plastics…it’s a mongrel gluing them back together 9 out of 10 times already broken by previous owners lol.

 

Also good time to tap them inner wheeltubs in in case want bigger 20×10’s to fit.

F;’,K now that’s Christmas very nice indeed is the blue on the guard the colour you going

[Brendo5005Participant Tassie84 vk calais View build HERE Member since: May 19, 2015 Posts: 28]

Yeah I have had some bits for a while just haven’t got around to putting them up and have other bits I haven’t taken photos of.
Yeah the blue on the guard is just a rattle pack of the colour I’m going, just wanted to see what it would look like and will be keeping the calais two tone with silver around the bottom
