Does your window winder foul on the speaker pod? I have the same set at home to put on but wasn't sure on the clearance to wind the windows up and down. I almost opted for Calais power windows on the front.

lol, nah it doesnt foul, but your figer does hit the pod. a bit annoying cos' i always have my window down when i drive. but would prefer to risk skinning my knuckles as long as my speakers dont fall out of the doors each time they open and close.

Hey Ari,

After reading your Impala thread, I've now read your VK thread (no work = much time on JC ).
Mate you've got some serious commitment, this car is absolutely awesome :thumbsup:

 

[ari666]

thanks man!

i really wasnt expecting to pull this thing off the road as long as i did. its basically killed about 6 months of time on the impala, but im glad i did. much nicer to drive now. it feels good to look at your car at the servo when you are paying for fuel and think "yeah, i did that"

i mean its not a showcar by any stretch, but just the memory of the BS that you go through. and looking at the finished result. yeah its cool. thanks for reading

Thanks heaps ari for posting all this, looks like a sweeeet car now! This is one VK definantly one i wouldnt mind.
How did your interior turn out?
You have inspired me to make a project out of my VH.
It is great to read through the problems occured with the build and find out how you overcame them.
Are you glad you didnt sell, Hope your enjoying it mate!
Also, was it worth making it a project instead of selling and buying something else?

 

[ari666]

Are you glad you didnt sell?

lol, well to be honest, now that its all finished (to a degree) im kinda sick of it. everytime i look at this car all i see now is enough money to buy a 454 for the impala once i give it the final cut/polish i will take some nice pics and stick it up for sale.

i love the fact that i have done it, and would probably do it again. can highly recomment doing the same to anyone. not only can you take pride in your work, but you also learn sooo much in the process. but now that i have driven the impala for a few months, there is nothing quite like it.
