Few updates on the rig nothing major just starting cleaning and putting it all back together , still needs exhaust fitted and brakes bled. I have a full vr statesman interior that came with the car which I will be selling as I have the full caprice interior. The car outside is great condition has been repainted few months ago just needs polish and clean , the interior is in gd condition very dirty and just has few problems cracked dash stupid holes for speakers and sagging roof lining but everything is there that needs to be no broken clips or cracked plastic. I have a tonne of vr, vs interior parts to finish the interior. Future plans be all interior for now then outside work down the track , so far I plan fit front electric seats, caprice dash, vs calais woodgrain under dash, wh steering wheel with radio controls, series 3 centre console , blue and white led dash lights. All these parts already own .time for some pics



first look grubby coona and filled with parts







Roofs always suck



Dodgy speaker install one screw holding them in







rooted grab handle


caprice trim :)





Rears seats gd condition



cracked dash :(



More stupid speaker placement



got foglights



calais woodgrain

fuuuu I'm so jealous of your seats. I've been looking everywhere for those same seats without any luck. she looks rough right now but from what you've got planned it will come up looking slick. besides lets face it, fixing these cars up and making them "yours" is half the fun isn't it?
