Posts: 189I hope they fit, I know the rh side cleared everything on the motor and the lh seemed to but I never bolted it to the motor. Tow bar just had a bunch of plates with bolts through them and a bracing plate on the beaver panel behind the bumper which ive left for now

Posts: 189might seem like an odd question but are you fitting cruise control back on it? if you are i’ve got a V8 Cruise module you can have, if you want it. took it off my VS cant fit it because the Torque Power Manifold. keeps getting moved around the shed because its in the way. I dont think i’ll be using it, saves throwing it out.
I would like to refit cruise control so I will grab that module off you. How/where did you mount yours as the v8’s have an extra bracket on the car?

Posts: 189Under the guards got repainted with stone guard stuff, looks brown but its suppose to be black
then all the new suspension, brakes I didnt bother repainting because im thinking of upgrading soon anyway
went to u pull it and managed to get an s pac boot lid and also managed to get a rear lip for the bumper without the tow bar cut out. Got some rear interior lights from a calais which ill put in when the roof lining gets redone.January 4, 2016 at 7:39 pm #13017

Posts: 189how did you get 8.2l/100km? I don’t think I could every do it in my VS Senator… EDIT – I note it’s not a v8, but I did have a VN 3.8l Calais, and still don’t think I could get it that low.
I drive it fairly easily most of the time, highway and 80 zones probably help a lot
