JAR-308
New Member
Not actually reptile related as such, but it will be a demo car for John's Aussie Reptiles!
As many members may know I have been driving a VL walkinshaw look alike for several months. I recently sold the bodykit (because it was too low) and have returned the car to standard trim.Also sold the calais tail lights and walkinshaw wheels. I have purchased brand new executive tail lights, headlights and corner lights (corner lights are being painted 2pac candy yellow) and a set of 17x7.5 G-zero's in blitz silver with gold emblems (am yet to purchase tyres for these and am just using chasers at the moment). Also purchased all new panels and a calais front nosecone. New wipers and blades, full auto arial and a million and 1 tiny bits and pieces that create a new look to any car (including new nuts, bolts, washers, screws etc).
I have begun preparing the panels for paint and today I finally got to spray the final colour on the boot. Hothouse green (from the new SS commodores and Monaros) and I have to say this colour looks awsome straight from the gun, even without the clear, cutback, buff and polish it looks a million bucks.
I have series 2 calais grey velour trim less seats (soon will have aftermarket seats retrimmed in VN group A colours) and have momo "race" gearknob and sports steering wheel. (new guages and full stereo system are on the cards in the future).
I am talking with an airbrush company at the moment about a jungle theme with a few snakes, frogs and lizards painted along the sides, boot and bonnet.
Unfortunately the motor has minimal work (due to me selling the standard turbo set-up as I was going to build a 308 stroked to 355 with VN group A heads an twin throttle body injection). However I have decided to go with the turbo 6 so am now looking for replacement parts
Current set-up is a mild RB30E with extractors and 2.5 exhuast, 5 speed.
I will have a website up soon with plenty of progress photo's taken between the time I purchased the car (with walkie kit) to the time completed (with new paint, interior, wheels, motor etc). As well as a list of costs and dyno figures. Will also update on a regular basis events the car is entered in such as shows/drags magazines etc. And a list of workshops that have sponsored or contributed/helped in the build up of JAR-308.
Future mods are plenty and will be listed on the site.
Will also have plenty of parts for sale that I have/will replace with new items.
STAY TUNED...
