nah got them re done from a trimmer. not as expensive as i thought aswell

Gees, maybe you should take them back, the chrome stuff would be like a tape they apply over the top of the plastic wouldn't it?

[Pez]

its a plastic roll but it is welded on into the door trim. it looks bad with the cracks but i guess ill get over it. if i get them done again will definately get them without the chrome strip

[Jo3_Blo]

Yeh shit happens I guess.

But they shouldn't have cracked up when they were so new and probs not even used?

[Zeussy]

Ahh sweet ride mate, thats a top colour choice...

Good idea about waiting till you get off your P's for the V8, save some hassling from the cops,

Got anymore photos of it in the paint stage? and finished engine bay pics??

Going to have to re-do the VH I think..

[Pez]

sorry mate dont have many pics of paint stage coz i didnt take many coz i was ganna keep it the maroon colour so i thought there was no point but when it was under primer decided to go green.

i will get some pics of finished engine bay for you

[Pez]

sound system oes in tomorrow and i get my seats so should be on the road soon

[Zeussy]

Hey Pez, good last minute change of colour, looks heaps good, lol..

I like to admire nice cars all the way through their progress.. not to worry, there is a few good pics there,
And cheers the engine bay would be nice, to see what to aim for with my VH,


Good to hear there is some progress being made on this beast, wish I could say the same for mine, haha..

Picss too, interior all together, and bay..

[Pez]

Guy hasnt shown up with the seats yet so pretty dissapointed that nothings getting done. Hopeing to get blue slip this week to

[Goon]

Get back at'em with your seats, or they just take longer.. perfect interior colour though bro, you know what u want

[Pez]

got seats today. only a few weeks late but better than never.
ganna be putting them in on wednesday night. should be good.
will get some pics when seats are in.
now all that needs to be done is to put the h/u in and connect the amp to it.

[Jack Drive's Here]

Hey dude, That's an awsome K (Same body parts as myn) and even better first car?

Love the coulor choice, Iv wanted a car atomic green for a long time (now i know how it will look on my K when i get my kit it will be a bit diff though)

With your spring's they are realy easy to do in the back, It's just jacking it up (make sure it wont fall if u bump it) undo the top of the shocker and you might have to put some weight on the axle to pull the spring out. Then drop in your low spring, jack the axle up till u can bolt in your shorter shock and thats about it. That's the short explanation anyway, The front I have never done but been told it's easy as long as you have spring clamps, not sure if it all has to be shortend or if you can just put low spring in and it'll be sweet?

Might save you a bit of cash and also Im not defenant on this but i think you have to get a shorter panhard rod and re-aline the diff, drive-line and might need a wheel alinment.

good job mate bring them vks bak to life

[nemesis_adrasteia]

thats one of the best VKs ive seen in a lon time good on you mate also i reckon a brock bonnet scoop wouldnt go to bad on it, hope it all goes well for ya

[Pez]

thanks for your reply's.

yeah I'm saving up and getting an exhaust before i get suspension done. want it to have a bit of a note.

Ive never really like bonnet scoops or the spoilers on the older cars.

Sound system is getting finished off on Wednesday and then just have to bolt seas in and where off. waiting for my console. there was a postage mix up on ebay which was pretty annoying but that's alright a new black console for $95 inc postage seemed like a good buy to me. just hope it comes this week so i can get it insured and drive it round.

[VK SS]

Nice ride mate like the colour looks good mate

[Pez]

Nice ride mate like the colour looks good mate

thanks man.

seats are all in now and sound system is all done. it is also registered now. just waiting for my centre console.

turns out the radiator has a crack and the gearbox is leaking oil. so gotta drop them out. just more work before being able to take it for a drive. But better now then later i guess

[Zeussy]

Yeah man, its better to get them out of the way early on.. before you either cook you motor or tranny, lol,

Sounding good ey, almost there, did you get an exhaust yet? or is that on the cards for when its driveable??

[Pez]

well im kinda running low on the funds. just bought a new dirt bike haha. sold one then next week got a new one haha.

but after all the motor work is done it is first thing on the cards.

i will also get those pics for you soon because interior is almost done just waiting on console and id prefer to show you full interior. and ill get engine bay pics then.

[Zeussy]

Haha, I know what thats like, a while ago, I sold my old one, saying ima save this money, only to buy a newer one a month later, lol

Yeah that makes sense, no point in getting it when its not finished..

Sweet, I know what you mean, i prefer to wait til my things are complete before showing them off, whenever you get it dones cool, just keen to see how good they can look, I havent touched mine yet, been too busy on heaps of other non car related stuff!! with low funds, lol

[Pez]

yeah im feelin ya with the funds

heres a pic i took the other day witht the plates on. has a cover on it now and looks better.

[Zeussy]

Yeah, I wish I was rich as ey, just do whatever you need/want to, and dont worry about the $$$ lol..

Haha you got 'PEZ' plates too, gold...

Man that is one clean as VK you have there..
Really, really nice, thats the ball park im aiming for the VH!!

[Pez]

im sure you'll get there. i would of preferred to do up a VH but when you get given a car you can't really be picky haha.

[jahan_86vl]

[HSV802]

Dam the VK is looking nice, gd work. Always good seeing the old school Commies getting put back on the road. not alot of tidy ones left here in NZ thats for sure.

[Pez]
