My VH SL Wagon.

[Crash]

So just an update on the shifter.
Now this is just sitting there and nowhere near finished. It was a quick throw together to see how it looked. I'll end up painting it brown the same as the console when its done.



That pic is with the B&M Quicksilver shifter in neutral. I think it looks really good.
I think if i was to go to a car event i'd leave it in neutral to just to keep people guessing. haha

Hey mate. Tough wagon.
I'm wanting to tub my vh. Can you tell me how much you shortened your diff by and what size are your wheels and tyre's? Did you have to modify the lower control arm's for clearance?

Cheers.

Thanks mate, means a lot.
I think i ended up getting 115mm cut off each end from memory. Just be careful though cos a sedan could be different (assuming you have a sedan).
My wheels are 15x8.5's with a 3 3/8" backspace. With the size of my tubs i could've gone a 10" wheel but would've had to have a smaller tyre. And yeh my lower control arms are notched as well but the rest of the suspension is standard.

Bit more progress..



The welding looks a bit average but there was some big gaps and i hate welding sheet metal. LOL
Besides, the trim will cover it.

Bit of filler work on the rear side thats seen.

Finished the filler work yesterday and put it in primer.




Just a comparison on a standard rear seat. I've had some paint mixed in that original brown so that'll be the next job.

Bit more of an update on the rear seat. I've shortened the in fill panel as well now and just need to weld it up.


I would've liked to cut 80mm off each end but the centres on those ridges are 70mm so that'll do.


This is the under side and the reason why i couldn't just cut and shut it through the centre.

Bit of an update.
Finally got around to painting the back seat.



The original and the modified.

Just need to fit the trim and bolt it back in.
