Little update the little grey pin stripes were coming off so I removed them but left the ss logo for something different and changed covers to VT engine covers and polished up the rocker covers and vt covers! NEVER AGAIN lol new strut tops and shocks all around.

Yes Mr 5.0L it has changed...

* Side moldings installed with new ss stripes
* Factory HSV cold air intake opened up with a heat gun and some wood can actually hear it sucking now......
* New Front bushes installed for control arms, sway bar and z bar
* VB-VL sway bar links installed
* Throttle body bored out getting rid of the nasty step
* Rebuilt and put a new seal kit through the power steering pump easy as $18.50 from Driveline Osborne Park.
* Fuel tank removed and return line replaced back to factory spec also welded up a few holes in her from past owners installing sub box and allowing plaster board screws to go through the floor and tank!
* Tank breather lines redone.
* Replaced Oxygen sensor
* Have redone the tune again got the old laptop and chip reader working after leaving them in the boot over a few hot days!
* Installed a separate relay for LOW and HIGH Beam no more melted fuses also running stronger bulbs.

pictures to come!
