So all the prep work is done and the red should be on next weekend, it's taken longer than expected well because I'm partially lazy and wanna get the prep work perfect.

Also looks like I'll need a new bcm and loom to suit central locking so a statesman has come up for 600 but hopefully get it for less, thinking bout getting that and swapping the dash over aswell, strip some other parts and try to sell them and make some money back then give it to the wreckers.

So that's the update for now...

Hahah well surprisingly yes, ready for a buff this weekend then to put it all back together, can't put any photos up because laptop is rooted at the moment, might get some up this weekend maybe haha

Also didn't get that statesman because some idiot painted the dash white, so the central locking will be installed but not working until I get the right bcm

Been a while and not a lot of updates hahaha had a slump of motivation and not much got done but should be back on the road next weekend, will post some photos next time on laptop

Currently looking at statesmans but not in any hurry at all, hopefully to swap full dash over and body loom with bcm so all power windows, central locking can be wired up factory spec but until then I'll just wire up the windows so they work hahah

Also looking for some cv8 rims if anyone knows of any haha
