Haha thanks guys it’s getting there still plenty more to do tho the group a bulge will be gone eventually need to find someone with the same colour to swap bonnets lol anyway the rebuilt diff is in haven’t driven it yet but all seems ok keen to see how it goes with 3.73s anyways pics of the leaking old 3.08 etc
Poor sv89
Nah the guy I got it off rattled the pinion up cause it was leaking and stuffed the pinion bearing I only paid $70 or $90 for it ages ago can’t remember but either way crazy cheap for a vt 2 hsv 3.73 m80 lol so it’s just in getting bearings seals and shimmed up lsd centre should be good enough
Dropped my 3.73 m80 off to get rebuilt yesterday should have it back Monday arvo
Wheels look much better silver
Cheers mate I’m real happy with them anyway more pics cause I got some new wax the other day and paint was looking extra good
Took it for its first drive with the tris on and got a flat tyre so good a time as any for some pics
Cheers bud I ended up stripping the clear off the 2 wheels that had clear today turned out really well so far haven’t even polished them yet but will do all 4 soon might have to strip the centre caps too because they look dull anyway heres some pics I started with the worst wheel and these pics are all of it
Finally got my polished gts Tri spokes today I chucked 2 on one side for a couple of pics as I still need to get a new centre cap (ebay $175 new) and I need the factory holden style open ended wheel nuts so the caps will sit flush also at some point 2 of them have had the clear stripped and they look much better so will strip the other 2 wet rub them and re polish them anyway pics
You would be surprised what a decent cut and polish / buff then wax will do for it id give that a shot doesn’t look like the clear is peeling on the bonnet just oxidised either that or hand it over to a detailer
iPhone shot of my clubsport rear quarter after a clay bar and coat of wax can see my sv89 pretty well in the reflection
Not much of an update but my brother in law picked up a set of polished Tri spokes for me today just have to get around to going to pick them up one weekend as he lives a few hrs away stoked with the pick up anyway as I got them really cheap not much else other than that just disturbing the peace whenever I take it out :XD:
Great to see you migrated over here from sc love this build mate keep the updates coming
Waiting for cavas skid time comment haha good stuff Gary you must be over the moon for it to pass first time
Haha cheers Gary couple more pics I got of it earlier green pearl really pops in the sun but camera still doesn’t quite capture the colour will have to try with the mrs slr
Orange indicators look like shit too lol
Cheers bud waxed it today made the paint so much deeper will have to get it out for some decent pics soon
Fixed the wiring for the brake light today so that’s working now and re fitted the under boot carpet then I gave it a wash and clay bar will wax it tomorrow anyway couple of pics
Cheers guys will take a while but getting there slowly had it 2 weeks now time flys found a set of polished gts Tri spokes that I’m trying to do a deal on for it but just been cleaning it and driving it every now and then here’s some progress pics replaced the old Sony headunit with an alpine one and a set of 6.5 inch alpine type r splits I had in the shed also had it on my dads hoist the other day so got a shot of the half an exhaust that’s on it haha
It’s not an ls t56 tho only a 215i borgwarner t56 I had lined up to buy the current box from glenn as he was upgrading to the ls style and strapping on CPCs vortech v7 setup from his parted out vr senator build but that obviously fell through lol
Vs hsvs had them factory surprised my new clubby still has it although it’s probably way out of date
A mate and I are keen for a couple of these too if you end up making them and thanks ssen8r for the link
