Very cool build, so envious of the super low k’s! Any intention to ever switch acorss to a VY-VZ cluster? VY-VZ dashes are so much nicer than the VT-VX.

Only thing that I hate about VT-VZ is that they changed from the grey to the black (would prefer black myself) but it makes doing swaps like this tedious as you have to change literally…[Read more]

New floor mats done

Suede seat backs installed (needs one extra clip)

Also, got all OCD about the rear inner guard liners not fitting the SS bumper properly so I ordered in the proper ones from Holden.

Washed 10 years worth of grime off the inner wheel wells on the SS wheels to get them ready for retirement – so clean!

Also, fitted the passenger glovebox, carpeted footwell kick panel & door trim. Just waiting on delivery of the passenger tunnel suede piece. So subtle but so nice.

New wheels! Nothing super special but VE International with double whitewalls came out mint IMO!

Also, drivers door handle popped out of alignment under the door trim so whilst fixing that I installed my suede bits including new door trim! Just need to sort out the courtesy light..

Bugger sorry to hear mate, its these set backs that make it so much better when its all done and your cruzing.

Sub box is an absolute dream! Just need to sort something out to 100% lock it in place…

So, a week out from getting the car all sorted I had an epic breakdown… Which I managed to limp to the mechanic thinking it was a coilpack….. But no, it wasn’t..

Notice something missing?

Yep, broken valve Spring & valve somewhere smashed into the piston… Seized engine!

So Hayden from HC Mechanical is hooking me up with a low k’s Eco…[Read more]

Sooooo things have been a little quiet lately on the car front, which has meant nothing has broken… Yet

But I finally sourced the last piece of my exhaust! Now just need to pull my finger out & fit it up
