Hey Guys,

I'm writing to you today because I have a dirty love affair with an ex that's gotten really rough.

The thing in need help with is my VL commodore, I first fell in love with her in 2006 when I bought her but then a Japanese lady got in the way (WRX) which turned the relationship sour, then another japanese lady (R33) stole the love away again!

But now the reality hit. Well hit my old man....

My VL has been cluttering up his shed for a while now and he's sick to death of it. I've just dropped a new donk in it and then the oil pump broke. So it needs a new one. The old one off the old donk is good to go, I just need to swap her over.

I really need some help to get it going again so I can sell it and get it out of my old man's shed.

The car can either be in Devonport or Hobart. What ever gets more support really.

Can you guys help me out? I'll be honest, working on cars scares the hookers out of me after f**king up this car the first time so I'd really like your help.

Dad say's if it's not going this weekend he's going to take it to the tip. Seeing as I've recently put $3k's worth of suspension in it I'd rather not see that happen. Can you help!?!

If we want it in Hobart I'll need a tow car and a trailer to get it there, tow car donor can borrow my WRX for the day.

Help me SAU, you're my only hope!

Zoid.

That will help. May need some assistance pushing this bad boy up my driveway mostly :P

Your driveway? Surely it will be kept on display on your front lawn like all good VL's?... (commo dig)

I have the ute as I mentioned before, but I don't think she's up to any long towing trips at the moment unfortunately ;P

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
