well iam o here doing a ride thread on my VE valiant which back in 08 and was rego'd but due to many bills back then i could not afford to keep the it rego'd and so it came off the road only to fix her back up and get it to pass roady which it did about 2 months ago, But the paint was really faded and so it decided i was into the light blue with the white roof contrast, So i decided it was time to freshen up the paint i repainted the white roof and keep the two tone it had i just changed the blue colour to a darker blue OCEAN blue and looks awsome.

 

Exterior:

its completly stock on the exterior even the wheels have the original hudcaps with them and surrounds when i got that car which was a huge bonus

there is no body mods at all before the roady i had to put some new tyres on car and i can tell you that the near new ones i got were perfect they are prellriels however it is spelt and the cost me $ 240 including getting rid of the old ones

 

Interior:

its all pretty much stock it has no carpet in it, Has original bench seats both front and rear and also has original dash and cluster in miles,

The steering wheel was pretty badly cracked and when i priced a reconditon one i nearly fell over backwards so i went with a sports steering wheel which makes the car turn corners better but when you see the pics it works well with the interior colour.

 

Engine and driveline:

its running an awsome 225 slant six and 2 barrell carbie with a aftermarket chrome air filter as the car never came with one when i purchased it the gearbox is a three speed column shift.

 

i will put some pics up

well guys just thought i update the val ride thread and well i shall throw pics up hopefully tomorrow some stage as i have found out the alternator brushes are stuff so iam going to replace thoughs sometime next week and since she anit moving i decided to put the ball joints and new tie rods in to her and its looking heaps better now and should steer heaps better.

Great cars these and other Valiant's. An old bloke down the road from me has one that I'd assume is a one owner vehicle that he drives daily.

 

Looks terrific! Keep up the good work

I had one of those in as overrated condition as that, same colour and all and some stupid person decided that having a fight with their partner was more important than stopping and boom, shortened mine in the rear by a few inches. :)
