    Default Interior swap completed! Now.....

    At last i finished my interior swap, swapped out the VN brown interior for my donor VP's grey interior. Took 3 weekends to do but looks soo much better. Wasnt just interior, was also windows, door handles, boot latch mechanism and all plastics. The rear seat on the VN was different to the VP's so had to drill some holes for the seat to fit. Also today after finishing the transplant i put the gas strut bonnet assembly on and the boot spring things in. Tomorow i might tackle rewiring the L3 instrument panel. The VP also has central locking and alarm system so i might poach that to, couldnt poach them when the door skins were being swapped cos i couldnt get ahold of torx keys. Now ive got a set ill take the door locks off and the locking mechanisms (ready to transplant).

    Next weekend i will start the engine clean up and replace bits new water pump and put all new oils and coolants in, Then swap over suspension parts and shockers, and put the LSD onto the VN.

    Is it possible to swap S2 VP fuel rails onto a S1 VN?

    Hopefully get the roadworthy done in the next month or two. What other parts should i poach off the VP that were improved over the years?
    Also is there anywhere to buy rubber or chrome mouldings new? For the outer doors (Trolley guards)

    Anyone need some SS mags no gutter rash?

    Ive just finished the central locking removal.. Ill grab photos in a few weeks unless mobile phone pics will do? Ive got to drill two holes in the VN's bonnet so i can fit the gas struts, one hole is there already just needs another hole each side to insert a nut.
    Bloody rain is hampering my efforts but atleast the VP is almost ready for the scrap man! Just need to remove motor and gearbox and diff..
