VH SL/E 5L Indigo over Mercury project "SLE382"

[dgp]

Awesome build mate keep us informed. I love these old girls. Wish I still had my VC SLE 336.
My brother has got a 5lt out of a VK 134 if you know anyone who is interested. I think they only had Brock inlet manifold, not too sure.

Damn, the wheels turn slow with a family and home improvements lol. All i've done since last post is build a new room and build a fence Car wise, I bought some VL heads and sent them off to Westend Performance for a freshen up. I just couldn't bring myself to put hardened seats in a set of B-Cast heads. Pics will come soon

Not much done of late due to house renos, but the stock pile of parts are lining up for a good weekend to fully redo underneath the car. I sent anything that was black, underneath the car and in the engine bay off to Narellan Powdercoating including the diff. It was all done in gloss black and come back looking sharp. The diff was rebuilt to the original spec besides 3.08:1 gears.

Bought some 16x8inch V5's and split them for powdercoating. Only pain was that the little colour chip that looked gunmetal grey in the office ended up having an army green tinge to it:

Also polished up one of the two sets of SLE rim's

Got Westend Performance to tickle up a set of VL heads for me to better spec than the B cast and flogged the B cast ones off. The motor should be assembled shortly and painted in 2pac "GMH new engine blue"
