    yea vs caprice seats. the wiring was suprisingly quite easy was just a matter of finding the power and earth cables and connecting them to the fuse holder and the ground. three will bolt straight in but one wont as the rail is longer. to i just drilled through the floor and put the bolt in with a washer and nut.

    yeah electrics are fun. umm im not sure as ive jsut been hit with rego and insurance in the same month. ive thought of a sunroof, not really nessecery but im always open for ideas.

    There's a place in melbourne that charges $700 for a manual sunroof fully installed on a VS... And i think i read somewhere they do a 2 stage electric sunroof installed for $1100. Pricey, but they look nice

    Man starting to come along nicely . Quick question with the interior painting. Do you take everything off to paint it or just while it's in there? (I'm pretty sure it'll be the obvious answer but just curious)

    no not so silly, pretty much everything i took out except the dash. i just masked off eveything with paper, cardboard, sheets anything really. just allow eveything a decent amount of drying time otherwise your car will smell for a while
