Home Built By Jeff, Engineering Explained, Project Farm, The Fabrication Series and The Fab Forums are some other good ones. There are heaps more that I watch (like the ones mentioned above) but depends what you like watching.

Looks like a clean ute mate. Look forward to seeing the progress on it.

Yeah, that’s it. Lacked a bit of motivation, time and funds to a degree. Back into it bit by bit, I’ll get there eventually.

A little over 2 and a half years since an update. Not much has happened but slowly working through mounting the trans cooler. Mounting brackets made, just waiting on some fasteners for the fan. Getting there bit by bit.

Good to see progress on this. Very neat work on all the lines too.

Looking good mate very clean looking car. Good choice on the Tri-Spoke wheels too.

It sucks to hear this Gary. I hope you find the motivation to get the car back together and hitting the streets soon. As you say, sometimes it’s better to do as much as you can yourself. This is why I am very choosy with who I let touch my cars, making some very talented friends in the industry helps with that too.

Great project. Look forward to more updates.

Wow, I should check in here more often. Sad to see the Lexcen go but will be good to see the new build.

Looking good Ricky.

Looking good mate. Good to see your still progressing with it.

[NickVRParticipant AdelaideVR V8 Exec, VR SS, VF Redline Reserve View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 264]

Wow, you have done quite a bit of work on this. The intake looks great and don’t mind the top covers too. I should check in here more often, lol.

Good pipe work. Great tip on getting it right too.

That’s a nice looking wagon you have mate. The walky wheels really suit the old girls.

Quick photo today outside the Holden factory with my sister’s car and my dad’s car. There is a photo of him and his car on the building too.

Yeah, HSV without the extra power and bodykit I suppose. Sad it’s the end of an era.

[NickVRParticipant AdelaideVR V8 Exec, VR SS, VF Redline Reserve View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 264]

Yes and no. This is an employee only edition, has a plate in the engine bay with my dads employee number on it. Plus other stuff mentioned. The motorsport has heaps more but I bought this as it meant more to me. It was this or a Motorsport. Sentimental value was the reason I went this one. 

 

The motorsport is still based off a Redline but gets

Motorsport Decals and badging

Smaller lip spoiler

Build numbers

20inch Gloss Black Wheels with Holden milled in.

Cross-Drilled Front 2 piece rotors

Chevy SS Seats heated with memory function

Gun Metal grey calipers with red Brembo decals

Magnetic ride suspension

Engine and Trans (Manual and Auto) Cooling Package

 

That’s most of it anyway, lol.

Thanks mate. Hopefully I will get some more pics up soon.

[NickVRParticipant AdelaideVR V8 Exec, VR SS, VF Redline Reserve View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 264]

Thanks mate, awesome to drive.

[NickVRParticipant AdelaideVR V8 Exec, VR SS, VF Redline Reserve View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 264]

Engine bay came up great. Will be good to see the rest of the car done too.
