We? Is this a personal car, or is it in conjunction with an organisation?

We? Is this a personal car, or is it in conjunction with an organisation?

The car was gifted through me to The Safe Haven Outreach - I am the founding director and everything I have, have had and will have in the future I give to the cause of assisting street kids and homeless youth here in Tasmania. Therefore I refer to we as the organisation.
Sorry for confusion

It's actually a VL. Best to get parts for the VL SS Group 'A' as opposed to the VN SS Group 'A' as most of them will be different.

Wow that would be fantastic - we will take whatever you have - olease send COD if you can via mail - if not then we will be very happy to send you a Cheque or money order - your choice.

Bless you heaps for your generosity - do you want some progress pics sent as we take them ? - we have a lot of work ahead of us here but the kids are really getting motivated by the project - street kids taking pride in sharing ownership of the project.

Dave

[JET-6]

Yes Dave keep the pics coming, im sure there are a lot more ppl with spares laying around they would donate!

Good Work, JET

[GMPSI]

Looking forward to pics!

Just a question Dave - If you are restoring it to its original condition why do you require a "CD / MP3 Player – speakers – Amp etc. with appropriate base drivers" and "Brake, clutch and accelerator pedal Monza snap ons" :?: :?:

[DaveDavis]

Looking forward to pics!

Had a heap of pics taken yeterday - including all the crappy bits and faults so will send them through as soon as we have them.

[DaveDavis]

Was also told by KIP (previous owner) that we will need a sump guard as he DESTROYED the sump guard during the Duttons Rallee last year

damn..
Looks like it was pretty thrashed :P

How many K's are on the clock?

Finding genuine parts wont be all that easy things that were only made for a walkinshaw will be the hardest to get(der)

If your looking for it to be fully original you wont want a CD player ect etc..
You will want an original deck that came in a walky..

How Original do you want to make this car by the way?

I wish you luck..

PS: Maybe get some plates that are a little more blending.. EG: Not Red :)

[vlt-dreamer]

[SirGeo]

[vlt-dreamer]

I want it - Walky will be my next car - vl no 6.
