Okay, been awhile. Finally making some real progress.

Sold the monster taco.

And also brought vr leather caprice interior. :)

Just need to find a donor stato for the dash.
Here's a couple of pics. Too bad I couldn't put the headlining in :(

Oh, you can fit the headlining....

Takes some work, easiest way is to fibreglass the centre VR part to your original VN headlining.
Or, start cutting things trying to make it fit.

I recommend the first one, been trying to get my VS Caprice headlining to fit properly for a few years now. Pretty much given up at this point. Check out MEANVN's thread, he did it the easiest way.

alright cheers, or i was thinking of selling it. :) haha

Has yours got a sunroof?
Or are you ever planning on getting one?
I don't recommend trying to fit the Caprice Headliner if you do. Too much hassle.

I want a sunroof (probably dreaming) but because of the Caprice headliner, too hard :(

If you can fibre glass, I would recommend that route, you'll need to retrim it, but it'll fit a whole lot better.
If you do install one that way, some extra brackets in the roof, between the roofs ridges/supports will be be needed to hold the weight of the roof.

Was your factory tacho not good enough?

I believe he said he sold it.
Perhaps he realized the factory one was more than enough...

Nah, didn't have a sunroof. Yea, as nice it would be to have the caprice headliner, it's just gonna be to much trouble.. :/

Haha, I sold it mat, always wanted one when I was little cause they looked tuff, then when I got one, and sold it a month later, lol.
