That’s Autobarn spray on mine. Looks a million bucks in real life. Washed them, 30 seconds with 800 grit and hit it with the can. Wrapped a plastic bag over the spring half and hit it.

Correct they came in both 16″ and 17″. They’ve been my “unicorn” wheel for nearly a decade.
No major updates at the moment. Prepping my boot and engine bay for paint still, pain in the ass.

Only thing left to do is wait for my braided brake lines to arrive and fit my drop box and B&M. I’ve decided to give my engine bay a quick spray before dropping the engine in. No smoothing or welding, just a once over.. The paint in the bay is original and chalky and pinkish. Once it’s registered and engineered and the engine comes back out for…[Read more]

Small updates but nearly there. Painted up my drop tank, first time using a spray gun, 3rd time lucky on the tank. Straightened out all the dents with filler etc.
Also got my Starforms restored and lips machined over at Advanced Alloy Wheels in Moorabbin. Great job as always, can trust them with anything.

Can I ask why your engineered asked you to get a VS fuel tank? Mine told me to use a VS one too but I told him I have a spare vl long range tank I want to use and he didn’t go into it further. Do you know whats special about the VS ones?

You weren’t kidding about the runs! Keen to see how it polishes up I’ve been practicing my 2k prepping and painting on a couple of old doors here and fuck me is it a prick. I’m trying to get the confidence to spray my bars on my car but the cost of just practicing is starting to add up lol

Had fun painting the diff up, turned out pretty well. Drop tank is next after I fill a couple of dings in it.

Little update: Picked up an LS2/loom/computer/pedal after searching for a good unmodified one for an eternity. Dropped it straight off to my mechanic who’s going to go over it and give it some fresh gaskets and start gathering some new bolt ons for it.
Quick question for anyone that can answer? I’ve welded in a section of replacement boot floor…[Read more]
