Very nice 1st car mate.
Are you keeping it in the original blue or are you planning on a colour change?

Gonna malt black it


beetleboyjeff - March 5th, 2012 at 03:38 PM

Would love to see it in person.

You'll have to get it to Valla - Dyllan will have his matt black bug there as well (with a licenced driver) but I don't think he gets his Ps 'till next year.


Paulc1964au - March 5th, 2012 at 05:24 PM

Awesome look forward to seeing updates


Lachlan VL - March 5th, 2012 at 05:54 PM

The kid has worked hard, theres nothin on the plate that he has not worked for...
.
Its a good solid car with some good little specs
1835 very strong little motor with good accesories
Suspension should be good...Modded Zs for adjustment rears
Lowered Beam fronts...no irs but is stiff and not much
droop now
Brand new Bilsteins all 4s with fronts modded to suit
Fresh new disc an drums
Runs full Bolt on spacers to fit the tens on back
eights on front and bolt on spacers front
These r standand widen Gaurds...(great job mr brown)
Kid has bought himself some good bolt accesories as well (not bad son):crazy:

Body not perfect will take work but clean for first car:cool:

Good work on the car. The only thing I can think of is to check the legality of the size of the wheels. I don't live in NSW so am no expert by any means but from other posts I have read, you may not get them approved by an engineer.

Would pay to check with someone that actually knows though so you don't waste time and money if they are illegal.

Good luck with the project and I hope it can be done for you.

Yeh you r right mate....we have kept most original parts just in case..
I do know the spacers themselfs have to be bolted on and not floating, 10s could be a problem..
When time comes for gettin it re regoed see how the slap on the wrist goes

At least there is a plan B. Will be an awesome first car and all respect to Lachlan for being able to do what he has done. Even more so due to his age.
