History
This is my vc valiant. My parents brought it in the early 1980`s as a second car for my mother, and i got it from my mum in 1997. Although in excellent condition at the time i wanted to give it a respray, so me and my dad resprayed it. I drove it around as a every day car for well over 10 years, then i decided to take it of the road and give it another full rebuild. I never thought it would take as long as it did, but work life and having a family made the rebuild take over 5 years to complete. This year (2014) i decided to pull my finger out and get it finished and i got it back on the road in September 2014 on club plates. I had all the guards off, i painted behind guards, front end ect, i cleaned and rust treated the floors and repainted them in a rust kill enamel very close to original colour, i fitted dynamat to the floors & inside roof, new carpets, head lining, completely repainted and rechromed dash as per original, it had v8 ve vip seats in the front, i sold them and replaced them with a fully rebuilt and recovered bench seat as the car came out with originally, it has a rebuilt slant 6 with extractors, 2 barrel manifold and 350 holley, electronic ignition and slight cam,.
As they say they are never really finished and in 2017 i also converted it from originally a column shift 3 speed manual to now a torqueflite 904 auto which was fully rebuilt and fitted with a shift kit, has a aftermarket Davies larger transmission cooler and is column shift auto as it would have been from the factory if it left with a auto trans. Also it has vg ventilated disc brakes on the front and standard drums on the rear, and its fitted with a reconditioned vj v8 offset booster and new master cylinder to help make it stop . Its a great cruiser and im always doing something on it to improve it but this car will always be maintained and one day it will be my sons car hopefully.
