Losh's VR Ute build thread

[wildfiremaint]

Hi Losh. Great looking interior.
Did you remove the headrests to fit the new seatcovers?
If so how did you do it ?
I think you have to strip the
backrest to get to the headrest retainer clips.
Is that correct?
Cheers.

My seat covers are in three pieces each seat, so I was able to just lift the head rest a tad and velco it underneath

Thanks Losh.
OK so looks like I will have to strip the backrest. I have an "offcut" from the wreckers to
replace a frayed section of the cover near the driver's seatbelt.

Thanks.

Bloody good read mate, you've really gone the extra mile and pulled this ute back for near death. Keep it up! I'll be using your thread as reference to a lot of things I'll need to do. Do you have any recent photos of the beast you can upload?

Thanks Pete, I did notice today that I have lost a centre cap off my front mag.... Haven't tried to find on one eBay yet but expect if they can be bought I will have to buy four.

All that hard work is paying off.
They do look good in white.
Those spotties would really make a big difference on dark roads.

I do like the look of those wheels.

Notticed your wheel center caps are hsv . The only ones on eBay that'll fit are second hand and they usually want a bit of money for them but should be able to buy one off.
Could try wreckers as well and unless they only have a complete set should sell individually .
Those yellow, blue , red etc ones on eBay that are the common adds are for ve/ vf and won't fit your wheels.
