Stereo: havent quite decided what im going to replace my old one with probably keep my Kenwood 7x10s, and alpine amps, probably some alpine splits for the calais crashpad but definitely a new headunit but waiting to see whats happing new features such as Memory card readers, ipod support etc

I think thats about it and its been a long 13 months so far on the build but its going to be worth it

Sniff...rub it in I miss my VK !!!

All I'd do is ditch the rims, door side mouldings, and skirts.

replace with big black Simmons B45 16's and Group A skirts and add Group A air dam spoiler.

[wes_v8]

[big_c_43]

Mate u always give me great advice on any of the threads that i start. I think it is great to see that u practice what u preach. Keep up the good work, she'll be an absolute beast when she is done.

[vkberlina]

Well it took the best part of a day to fabricate up the mount for the battery, retaining brackets, paint it and install it in the car, im happy with the result.
A couple more hours work and the battery install in the boot will be complete., Im looking forward to seeing how the 870ca battery turns over the 5L

[VRSS]

your car is such a beast keep us updated!

[vkberlina]

The power windows, electric mirrors & central locking are all connected up and working now, wiring tidied up ready for my dash to be painted & fitted.

After 22 months things are really taking shape I cant wait to be driving it again.

[vk.jonno]

mate i know this thread is like almost 4 years old but ide love to see the completed car?????

[vkberlina]

Yeah its practically finished bar just a few little things
New dash, carpet, retrimmed headlining, seats, and door trims (door trims still to go in)
I had it registered for 2 years its off the road again simply as I dont get time to drive it.

I have to dig it out of the shed to get it ready for the track day will post more pics soon
Have to do the rear main, rack seals, fit my harnesses, do a fluids change and finally fit my door trims.

cheers
Scott
