    I like the wheels they go well with the green of the car.

    Thanks, I think it will look better once the car actually settles again

    Agreed great choice with the wheels.   Will keep an eye out for it around gawler.  You know there is a Barrossa cruise next sunday?

    Good on you for doing it yourself. Although it’s all plug and play, it’s certainly a good feeling knowing you did it yourself once it’s running. Good luck with it.

    Good work mate. Now to get scrubbing to see how good that engine bay comes up. I gave mine a coat of paint while it was out, glad I did too. Just a can job but came up looking good.

    Thats one thing I regretted not doing when I did my 5ltr conversion was spraying the engine bay.I suppose If I spend some time detailing it, it should look good (I hope anyway lol) Its good to see another VS getting taken care of  as you don’t see too many good ones on the road anymore.

    Under the guards got repainted with stone guard stuff, looks brown but its suppose to be black


    K-frame then got bolted in


    then all the new suspension, brakes I didnt bother repainting because im thinking of upgrading soon anyway



    went to u pull it and managed to get an s pac boot lid and also managed to get a rear lip for the bumper without the tow bar cut out. Got some rear interior lights from a calais which ill put in when the roof lining gets redone.

    might seem like an odd question but are you fitting cruise control back on it?

    if you are i’ve got a V8 Cruise module you can have, if you want it. took it off my VS cant fit it because the Torque Power Manifold. keeps getting moved around the shed because its in the way. I dont think i’ll be using it, saves throwing it out.

    I would like to refit cruise control so I will grab that module off you. How/where did you mount yours as the v8’s have an extra bracket on the car?

    Ive seen the cruise control done on a TP manifold. Just need to get creative with a bracket

    They have a bracket spot welded in right next to the V8 ignition Module

    so I just drilled the weld out and riveted  it back into mine. Only problem was mine was out a silver car  as it’s very rare to see a v8 in my cars colour, but it wasn’t really that noticeable
