Yeah I like the low klms, (the main reason I grabbed it,) also the v8 and manual :D

All my plastics and door trims are now black and just waiting to find some nice seats.

the cluster I do want to be the Calais/statesman one reprogramed to my klms. but I may go the full vy loom

soon and see how I go.

It’s slowly getting there.

I have the Leather hand brake on now and blue leds are half done now.
I have the blue leds in another mod and headlight switch, just have to change the plugs to vy.

Took a few more pics of the steering wheel on and gauges done.

Took the front seat covers off and found the seats are in good nick for its age.

But the seats and door trims will be changed soon.

power figures are something

once I sort out all the little bits on mine to finish off. it will be respray time and then look at running gear overhaul. could get the LS swap after all or will just copy what you have LOL.

Id have to rob a bank to do that though.

Interesting build. but I like it, keep the updates coming

[SIRV8Participant SE SUBSVT WITH A TWIST View build HERE Member since: August 11, 2016 Posts: 19]

This is something I always get asked. I want something that is different to just a VY,

Both rear quarters were replaced and had to get a structural integrity report to show the new welds were same as factory.

this way insurance too is covered and I feel safer driving it.

Front panels and dash is a easy bolt on.

It shocks a lot of people. most can not believe its a vt until I open the bonnet.

I have to still finish off the interior bits and pieces. I have most parts except the seats and steering wheel.

but its a work in progress and will someday be all finished.

[SIRV8Participant SE SUBSVT WITH A TWIST View build HERE Member since: August 11, 2016 Posts: 19]

Looks very nice. job well done. airbrushing is good touch

[SIRV8Participant SE SUBSVT WITH A TWIST View build HERE Member since: August 11, 2016 Posts: 19]
