VF Valiant Regal - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

LASTND · 11-08-2008, 04:43 PM

Hay all Here is another of my projects, along wit my dad (Errol) we are completly restoring the VF valiant that has lived in our shed on the farm in Western Victoria for the past 15yrs.
It belonged to my Mums aunt who bout it brand new and onyl ever drove in melb arount Hawtharn... Its only on ist second set of tires in 28yrs and has only traveld 39,000 Miles. Its a 69 Valiant Regal with the old leaning tower of power!!! 165hp of Valiant slant 6. This how ever is being replaced by a Mild 318..
Over the past few weekends we (my dad, causin Andrew and I) have striped it to a bare shell cut out the obvious rust then some more we found and a little more again.... As in the Photos its mounted on the rotisory now very bare and naked with the boot floor cut out ready for the donner and new rust free pannels!
The seats have been sent of for a reetrim in the original blue as she will be all ridgy dige exept the motor and then wheels after the perpose its being build for... My sister wedding! The only 1 thing we (I) havent dicided on is mini tubing it as every 1 knows the width of the rear tires is very limited on the Valiants!!!
