    I am not puting a 308 in anymore i am putting a 253 thats got in with ACL race top pistion's and molly rings and a crane cam to suite keeping for now the 350 holly then later on look at getting somthing else and when the 253 gose in a set of Genie III extractors going into a singel pipe 2.5" redback exhaurst system will be going in as well as a V8 commodore disk brake gor warner LSD diff and when the 202 comes out i will be respraying the engine bay before putting the 253 in

    Found a crack in the chassie rail which has been fixed and enginerred and fixed a few other thing to do with eathing issues

    Get rid of those spot lights, spray the grill black or grey and throw some vk indicators on it. Take the headlights apart and spray the inside surrounds silver and give the glass a nice clean.
    While your spraying the grill mask up the tail lights and spray the lips on them, simple cheap effective mods that will really clean her up!

    from those pics the paint job looks like it turned out alright. Nice VH you have there mate, 100 bucks for those rims is a definate steal! Good luckwith the 253.
