Looks like lots of fun

Strangley I don’t mind wiring, not the working out of which goes where but the mind numbing task of stripping,twisting and soldering something about it is relaxing ;-)  hahaha

Is that back seat all factory styling or have you added a few touches to it? Looks schmick!

And beats Blake for best VN in Australia! I’m calling it now hahaha

Colour looks nice, is it factory colour?

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

Whole car is looking absolutely schmick mate!   Only thing I could change would be VZ Calais tailights (and your already doing that  ) and maybe a Rear roof spoiler

I know those seats are functional but dam they are ugly hahaha rest of the car looks mint and is progressing quickly

So the other day I was lucky enough to have the chance to buy my original Grill back :D hahaha the bloke who I bought the car from sold the original grill to a person down the street and then put the SV3800 Fiberglass grill that’s on it now. I was on FB the other day and came across the person selling a White SS grill undamaged with everything intact, so asked if it came off my car and it sure did!

 

So i’ll get it repainted some time and I’ll have to find a badge so if anyone has a NOS or good conditiion secondhand one let me know

The one thing that wasn’t leaking on the SS was the Diff  hahaha

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

Spend big and build it into something mint!!!

Are you able just to buy the rubber?

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

Well what a weekend!!! Had an absolute blast! Made some Great Friends and became severely sleep deprived for the 72 Hours I had only slept 16 of those…. Drove over 1000km’s and gave BP over $200 Dollars : hahaha But can’t wait to do it all again!!!

 

Ready to leave for Sydney

 

Dat Ass!

 

Not taking any chances with you, you bloody knights supporter :p

 

And made it to the AHD! Turned out to be a good day! Car didn’t end up getting washed until 5 O’clock that morning at a servo with a quick hose down…. hahaha and then hit with quick detailer when it warmed up and some wax and grease remover Thanks to Lloyd :p Came up alright. ;)

 

And some Photo’s that came up on FB

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

So with the up and coming AHD (this weekend :eek:) I have been doing a fair amount of work to the SS to get it ready for the drive down there. So far I have replaced Front & Rear Swaybar links, Front wheel bearings, Complete Front lower control arms, Chassis to Radius rod bushes, pulled Gearbox out and re-sealed it and changed the fluid, new water pump, new fan clutch, all new coolant hoses, thermostat, new inlet manifold and extractor gaskets, new fuel tank breather lines (because they were not there at all and if you filled it up over 3/4 full it would piss fuel out everywhere….) and of course oil, air, fuel filter change and oil. Well its a completely different car!!! Heaps more stable on the road, no longing hops & jumps around, alot less body roll and no more knocks coming from the front. Motor idles better and sounds heaps better with no more annoying exhaust leak tick! And it now gets up to running temp and stays there without leaving nice green puddles everywhere.

 

 

And I also pulled apart the centre console and remove the shitty aftermarket head unit fitted and replace it with something a bit more period correct (I haven’t been to able find a S2 VN SS Head unit but found a VP SS one and the only difference is the VP has a different print on the cassette flap and it has the Security Light and Code).

 

The Mess I was expecting, seems who ever had it apart last couldn’t be bothered to put it back together probably and left half the screws out and even left out the passenger side A/C air ducting…. WTF!!!

 

And such a lovely job they done to wire it up… not

 

All fixed now! Never to be cut again!

Looking into making custom brackets for these brembos, allowing virtually any wheels to be used, including standard HSV / Holden wheels, as the range of wheels that will fit over the VE style rotrs + calipers is very limited.
