sorry guys.... l'm not putting an sub in it... my neighbour across the road does enough of the duff duff for everyone.

will post more pics once l've put the car back together.

[jayderichards]

Hi guys, sorry l haven't updated this in a while. Been working alot.

I recently acquired a lot of berlina parts to put power windows into beefy. From what l can tell, he has the full wiring (fuse 5 and plugs under the console) so it looks like the beef is going to get power windows after all!!

I'm returning the beef's interior back to stock due to the shittiness of vinyl dye. Perhaps, once l can afford it, l'll get the interior wrapped in vinyl.

[jayderichards]

Update:
*l got some calais/berlina tail lights. I missed the stock look!!!!
*Power Window Conversion underway
*Rear Garnish Painted

[jayderichards]

Update:

Hi guys, sorry l didn't get to take pics yet but the following has been done offically:

*power windows conversion
*Rear Garnish painted
*Berlina Door Trims & Seats put in
*Berlina S2 Tail Lights put in (old altezzas for sale)

[Silver_VS_II]

nice glad to see you put in the clear rear lights, after you paint that garnish debadge the rear end and it will look ALOT better, also what did your power windows conversion cost you?

[Trayner]

looking good just need to debadge the rear , Power windows are much better, then the manual ones ay?
Silver_VS_II mine cost $150 for the 4 motors, All the switchs, relay and the door trims if that helps

[jayderichards]

l bought an entire berlina trim from a wreck for $600 - all seats, all plastics, all doors, EVERYTHING!. l put in the electric windows and had to take it up to the auto elect to wire power to it due to the low bcm l have in the car. l found out two of the regs were on the way out. Bought two from work for $400. just a warning when putting them in, watch out for twisting and cracking in the regs. oh! and rear regs are more expensive.

I'm keeping my badges guys.... sorry! but l put clubsport ones on it and l like em!
hehe
I'm keeping in theme with my clubsport replica. Got a bodykit in the shed that l've got to repair also.

[jayderichards]

more pics! will add more soon

[jayderichards]

hi guys!

Beefy has got new locks right around!!! l've painted up the door handles but am thinking they may need to go the panel beater to colour match the white to the rest of the car. l think it's too white.
