The earlier dash in your model is a little more fiddly then vr onwards. Just take careful not of where the harness sits as you take it out and you will be fine. If you put the harness in a poor position the dash pad can sit out of position

The high mount air con kit is needed unless you want to make your own brackets and  mod a smaller unit like an astra one which ive seen fitted in factory postion before. Although the high mount alternator kit from crs you listed isnt needed its pretty tight but factory ls1 stuff is fine for that.

I always have people asking me “is that gun metal grey?” Its like that is the only thing people can fathom when they see grey..

Well there ya go. Always learning when your playing with cars i guess. I just assumed with the reform to engineering certification it would just end up in the too hard basket. Good to know though i am considering putting this thing back on the street sometime in the future so i can cruise with the wife and my lil girl.

Its not a legal requirement here to do a cell in the boot. If anything it can be a hassle for a street car rego wise having it there can cause a few legal/defect issues. Alot of the time its either a looks thing or simply a layout thing.

So not alot has happened really lately. Between work and buying a house ive been pretty busy. Have decided its getting a console and plastic trims etc back in it again its just too ugly without it and cut a big hole in the bonnet so that can finally go again too.

Aparantly there is a guy on the vn ss club site thats running a 28 inch slick on a srandard rear wheelwell but ive been searching through and can not find any width on that.
