Oh true. Have definitely seen it somewhere though otherwise I wouldnt have recognised that you were from Gladstone. I drive into Gladstone a fair bit so I might have seen you on the way to work sometime. Will do the same if I see you driving around :thumbsup:

By the way my neighbour is wanting to sell a VP wagon and some VN sedans for parts if you're interested. About $500 a car

Hmmm, i'm trying to get out of the car collecting game. I have that many parts in my shed, i can hardly fit my car in to it. But i will keep it in mind, i might need some spare engines for the buggy im making.

loks good mat especially with the two tone one thing i might suggest is changing the lower window moulds to vn so you get a nice clean line all the way round the windows
one thing i hated about the vp's was chaging to the rubber on the doors

Yeah i love the 2 tone vps, I'd much rather black though.
I agree 100% that the vp lower window moulds was a stupid idea and i think i might have some vn ones somewhere. On the list it goes.. Thanks

I put my old tune back in tonight and keep the boost under 12psi, What a differance, wow, come onto boost so much harder and doesn't break up, up top anymore. hmmm

Had to tow her home yesterday arvo, It keeped blowing the fuel pump relay fuse every time i cranked it. I went through all the wiring related to the fuse and found no breaks or dodgy connections, But there was oil leaking from the oil pressure switch. so i pulled it off and there was a leak where the wiring plug connects to it. So i think it was filling the plug up with oil and earthing out or something making the fuel pump relay fuse blow.
As the fuse wouldn't blow until it was cranked. When turning the key to on it would prime the pump without blowing the fuse. But new oil pressure switch on and the fuse hasn't blown and the oil leak is fixed.
