JAPANESE STEEZE MEETS AUSSIE ICONOGRAPHY IN JAY DUCA'S GENRE-HOPPING VL
ROTARY INTERNATIONAL

PURISTS look away now. The concept of a sacred cow is foreign to Adelaide maniac Jay Duca, so he had no qualms with cutting up this factory 5.0-powered VL Berlina to achieve his vision of what a VL should be.

"I wanted to do one in my style, and I'm all about being super-low, on small Japanese wheels," he says. "I don't have a problem with people who jack these things up on 20-inch Simmons, but it's just not my style."

The VL is by no means Jay's first wild concoction. A drifter at heart, he's been building cars like this for decades. In 2020 he started documenting these escapades on his Low Standards YouTube Channel, kicking off with a 10A rotary-swapped VN Commodore. This VL is one of Jay's eleventh-hour Street Machine Summernats builds, starting just five weeks out from 'Nats 36.

"I had the engine already and I wanted to put it in something, so I asked my mate Tow King to find me a VL," he says. "He ended up dropping off two of the things for free!" If the price isn't a giveaway, the Berlina was by no means a minter when it came to Jay, with a rough body and crap paint.
