Might actually be VX. I’ll ask my mate that I bought them off.

To update: car is in to get painted and have the rust hole repaired.
Have found an s pac boot lid with the bobtail and put an offer in for it. Waiting to hear back. Hoping to have both fresh so depending on mood I can swap.
Gonna try and drop off the SS kit tomorrow to get prepped for paint. Can’t wait to have an amazing looking car!

I reckon it’s coming from the rear of engine. But I will still do all checks…
List as follows: dizzy cap and rotor Rockers, exhaust and idler pulleys.

It isn’t there under load, from what I can hear. I can only hear it at idle.
Even when revving it at neutral, I can’t hear it.

But it would be there at all times? Not come and go?

Under the radio. So Auto selector surround removed and radio surround removed to get to it. Or there is shorter switches which is about 6 inches long.

I actually don’t mind that! Came up good!

Brilliant car mate. Love every little bit of it. You’ve done extremely well! That is above show car work.

Random question, can you get a better pic up of the gauge set up you have?

[WomblesParticipant 1995 VS Acclaim v6. Soon to be supercharged 1995 VS Executive 5L. 1973 Holden Torana Deluxe View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 71]

Gary, it’s fine to stare under the skirt…. of your car…

Love the work you have put into this. Can’t wait for when you drive it to Gippsland Vic and take me for a spin. XD

Add an idea to the boot install. A sliding shelf that holds tools. Bolted to the parcel shelf. Yay or nay?

[WomblesParticipant 1995 VS Acclaim v6. Soon to be supercharged 1995 VS Executive 5L. 1973 Holden Torana Deluxe View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 71]

Just don’t look closely AJ. I’m not happy with it but have tried to straighten it up with no success.

[WomblesParticipant 1995 VS Acclaim v6. Soon to be supercharged 1995 VS Executive 5L. 1973 Holden Torana Deluxe View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 71]

When doing it, just wear gloves! Hahaha.

[WomblesParticipant 1995 VS Acclaim v6. Soon to be supercharged 1995 VS Executive 5L. 1973 Holden Torana Deluxe View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 71]

Stato dash with stato door cars and vt front seats under seat covers.

VZ rear seats.

Wouldn’t mind finding the same colour front seats and swap them over.

Cheers Gary! Hmmm decisions to make in the future!

Now time for me to get some interior pics…

[WomblesParticipant 1995 VS Acclaim v6. Soon to be supercharged 1995 VS Executive 5L. 1973 Holden Torana Deluxe View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 71]

Amazing, original looking car! Love it!

Please don’t LS or small block it… if you have to keep it all Australian and 5L it…

[WomblesParticipant 1995 VS Acclaim v6. Soon to be supercharged 1995 VS Executive 5L. 1973 Holden Torana Deluxe View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 71]

Hmmm. May have to think of that in the future.

 

Sorry no interior pics. Forgot/late finish at work…

Was actually thinking of getting a boot lid and lip off an s pac. Will suit the SS kit.

I kinda like the spoiler on it. Hate boots without spoilers.

I’m a black sheep ok? Haha.

 

Andy, this one’s been ruined by someone with silly ideas. That center piece has been painted.

The blackouts arnt supposed to be there. When it’s ready for paint it’ll be what it’s supposed to be from factory.

 

Nevin, got any pics on what that would look like? I dunno how that would look…

Since my Stato dash install, my ac hasn’t been used either. So… I might steal your idea! Maybe…

[WomblesParticipant 1995 VS Acclaim v6. Soon to be supercharged 1995 VS Executive 5L. 1973 Holden Torana Deluxe View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 71]

I was kinda thinking of grafting the vy gauge piece onto the vs dash… Might look weird though. I want some gauges but don’t want them in stupid spots like the a pillar or center console. Surprisingly use the center piece under the radio a lot! So I gotta think of a new spot…

 

I’ll try for tomorrow but don’t look at the center console lines… bloody horrible.

[WomblesParticipant 1995 VS Acclaim v6. Soon to be supercharged 1995 VS Executive 5L. 1973 Holden Torana Deluxe View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 71]

Cheers Gary!

First I gotta play with the stato dash to make the center console line up a bit better. Then possibly swap it to a darker version.

Kinda want to get a new carpet so it fits nicely on the sides. Lhr is pulled away and won’t go back under the plastics.
