I think its time for an update, well it has been about 3 months and thus far i have wrecked my doner vx ss and sold off what i didn't need. (also there is parts still availible. doors, rolling shell, roof, etc just ask). In my hunt to find the ls1 i wanted i came across a VZ ss, but unfortunatly it was an auto and i didnt want to have a fly by wire or have to change the engine around also it was an auto. But it was a good car and only had 95 000 on it (ex chaser) so i asked the bloke how much he wanted the interior for and he said $500, so i ended up bargaining him for the complete interior, including roof, plastics and seats (which were perfect, especially the back, which has probably never been used) After getting the interior i had to modify my VT pre tensioners and the electric harness to suit my vt which was surprisingly easy (I will eventually start so other threads regarding small jobs that i did flying blind as there was no photo guides on here) After that i did the semi painfull mod of getting the sunglasses and rear courtesy lights to work in a much simpler VT, although it was a pain, i learned how to solder quiet well in the process. So now the interior looks shmick, with the combo of the VZ seats and roof and side plastics and vx black dash plastics. Now to the fun part. I purchased an LS1 6 speed with 110 000 on it with a really good service history that was still running in the car and took the car for a spin (vx ss) was supurbe, the bloke owned it from new and only wanted to get rid of the motor cause he loved the car so much he wouldn't sell it so he got a VE HSV E2 Maloo for cheap as chips that had water damage and is doing the conversion for that. He was a top bloke and has given me everything like EVERYTHING, and it is all relatively together so apart from getting the bugger in it will be plug and play so to speak. All i had to use in the end was my VX ss K frame and Diff and the rest is there!!! So i have aimed for 3 weeks to do that and i should hopefully have a lil pocket rocket to match all the work i have done on the rest of the car.
