Mate the car is looking brilliant.

Maybe you better register the car quickly before the suspension settles

Cheers for the posts Guys!!

Good to see you are still surfing the forum Mal and thanks for the post, rego sooner rather than later would be a good idea!!

Ratbox, remember what John (oldnek) said "Never know what surprises come out of that NT Shed".......... there is a red herring in that there engine-bay and the replacement will soon be posted.

Update, front guards done and a "sneek preview" of the upholstery.

The colours on the door are Red and Black, same as the new VE HSV GTS. I have tried to make them look like a modern version of the original door by maintaining the original stile chrome trims, similar shaped arm rest to the "original" front ones and added the HQ handle to match the "more modern" apperance. There are still a few fittings (shiny bits!) to go on the door panels.

Enjoy (I am!!!

Dude this thing F*cking Rocks! Inspiring me to get back on to the FB, might have half spent my stimulus package on some more Lokar Stuff myself....have to wait and see i guess, but that throttle looks awesome, your a gutsy man welding onto one of those based on price.... fantastic finished item however, i'm probably going to go one of there elimator pedals.

and Red & Black Interior...good choice of colours...great footy team as well!

The manifolds I made up have just returned from Jet-Hot after being ceramic coated. Very happy with the quality of Jet-Hots coating.
