not really considering a tough 400 is a lot cheaper to build than a tough 700.

Really, Well i stand corrected lol but anyways its still cool!

[PREDATR]

LOL Manual is more fun :P

[HAZZA-VN]

True, If i could have got a manual for the same sort of price i would have but still haven't seen a 5litre manual vn for the same sort of money

[HAZZA-VN]

hows your calais going btw haven't seen anything about it lately since you deleted the thread like a yr ago lol

[Renno]

Come on tom get a move on anything else new? Gonna get a Pro ratchet like me and Matt, build your standed 700 with manual internals like me Would be cheaper than Buying a T400 and building that, cause you don't have to buy it in the first place.

Nuthin else is new bro, been getting a lot more hours at work and time for the Calais is slim. Also I am buying a daily tomorrow, so when i have time in the next few weeks, it will be spent cleaning up the new hack. However I plan on finishing the exhaust up this week for the Calais

DING DING DING! Chris is right on the money!

[Renno]

Well its been a while, but my daily(s) are chewing through all my time and money atm

Now I found a nice clean VB for sale, so I sold my VR to my bro and he sold his VN to Rabbit as a daily

So the rims I bought for the VR are now on the VN







As you can see my house is now a car yard lol!

[HAZZA-VN]

[Renno]

Cheers Aaron, yeah thats my dads 65 HD Special wagon....

[Renno]

Thought i might aswell get that SII Caprice interior in the car to dummy up where some of the holes for the supports will need to be...

[Haydz]

woahh. i just realised those rear headrests are uber wide.

coz this is my vr ones


they look the same size as the front ones?

sound deadening coming out?

[Renno]

Yeah the VQ ones are heaps wide compared to the VR ones and onwards...

The front ones on the VQ seats are the same as VN ones, however I found a set of wide ones like the rear, but they have the adjustable tilt in them, so ill be using them in the front seats so I can have massive headrests all round lol

Oh and dynamat will be going into this bad boy me thinks

[Renno]

I ordered these on monday and they came in today

All I need is to order a DPS controller (As i forgot to get one lol) and they will be mounted up



This is where the shift light is going to be mounted me thinks

[Renno]

Outlaws got my DPSS Controller in today.....*drools*

[Renno]

Well the shiftlight is almost in. I was going to finish it tonight, but im off with the missus into town for a few drinks instead .

Here is how the bracet is going to be situated (Still need to sand back and clean up the hole a bit)



And this is how the shiftlight should be sitting once done. Not blocking anything

[NickVR]

Great work Renno, I like the new spot for it.

[Renno]

Cheers Nick. Hopefully considereing this location follows all the relavent guidelines the cops shouldnt have a problem with it

[Renno]

Welll plans went to shit and this weekend I spent most of my time working on the manging daily.

However a mate gave me a hand and filled up the hole in the column surround for me, so ill get onto it and get it painted up

*Note* Pic is of halfway through the fiberglassing, will get a pic of it completed sometime this week

[Renno]

Well its 1am and I should be doing uni readings....

so lets work on the car shall we

Shiftlight all in and mounted up, all it needs is a lick of paint to the surround and to be wired up to the DPSS and Jaycar Speedo Corrector
