    Yeah vf is a world apart they are a much better built car.

    My brothers senator in the first year and it had a gentle life. Head unit failed, cluster failed, transmission selector light loom failed, tail lights filled up with condesation,  tail light mod loom for led hsv lights failed,  badge front grille plaiting came off, dash platics and seat plastics deformed, roof mount dvd which was never even used fell out of the roof, did front suspension isolators, pcm failed. And talking to the dealers and others with them its not all that uncommon

    My brother has a ve senator bought it new. This front visability is terrible. The build quality is atrocious.  They handle and stop well, go well as well. Get the ls3 not ls2. Nice car but be prepared for gremlins

    I dont think anyone sells them anymore they were a old school sort of thing and to be honest its all old stock. Only reference I could find was this and doesnt say to suit your model. Unsure the difference or if it could be modded.

    been buying a few repairable write off vehicle’s from the auctions over the last few months to try and make some extra cash, and to keep busy latest one is a 02 VX SS series 2, which has done 163,000k’s engine runs smooth no lifter noise etc, 2 owner vehicle (has some service history) weighing up a future engine swap on my VY which has done 143,000 just trying to work out what fits and what doesn’t

    As far as wiring stuff best to speak to ultimate wiring conversions he is ultra smart.

    Also do you know what sort of money badly smashed ls1/ls2/ls3 cars are pulling at auction.? Struggling to find info on this

     

    Are you going ls in the vs?

    Got a bootlid and lip in the right colour, not prefect but it will do for now. Still need to put a holden badge on, will do that one day. Car was filthy from being a daily this week.

     

    How did you work out the hole locations and seal it? did you end up having to do anything for access on the inside?

    When are you doing the final touch ups on the tune?

     

     

    Does this thing get much attention when you drive it? Sure it would get some interesting responses
