Anyone feel free to add your input as I really have no clue where to start and would like to hear it from someone with a bit of experience.

Awesome ride mate, love the flex in the GQ too ;) How is the driveability with the 286 cam and how big of a difference has the manifold and throttle bodies made to how she drives?

Gotten too cold!

Hi mate , nice clean vh you got there! Keen to see how your build goes as I am hopefully undertaking a similar project to yours very shortly. One question I have is what are you going to do re: tail shaft?

Thanks and best of luck with it !!

:-o That paint job is spot on. Can’t wait to see some pics of it all back together 

Top work mate, these all look like great new features 

Sweet as, aside from the necessities (machine work, balancing) I will be trying to complete as much of the whole car myself. This obviously includes engine, panel/paint, wiring, etc etc. The car needs full bare metal respray, after reading reply to my post on your build thread it sounds like getting the car professionally blasted is the way to go.

Whoever did the job last time failed miserably as big chunks…[Read more]

Ok that sounds great, remember to keep us posted about the cruise. With the rear end, the 3.55:1 must be pretty lively compared to my 2.78:1. How do you think you will be going about taking it back to bare metal ? That’s probably 1st thing on my to do list. Again let me say it’s great to see how far you’ve come with this car and I hope you enjoy…[Read more]

Just had a read of the 1st page/saw pics…

Gotta say that looks to be the cleanest example of a VN I have personally ever seen! Absolutely MINT. I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure.

Hey mate that is one fine looking paint job!! Did you take it back to bare metal yourself and if so, what process did you use? I imagine sanding the whole thing back would take forever. Love the look of the rear end too.

Cheers
