My VX SS has been dusted off

What electric power steering pump are you going to use?

From an Astra I think unless I come across something better.

Yes, thats what l used. 1998 - 2004, are the ones to use, if l remember correctly?

I am going to relocate the abs into where the battery used to be, and I am trying to think of ways to move the cruise control if I can.

So I have come across this crack and not sure if this is something I should be worried about or can it be fixed?

I am also moving the coil connection to the loom down by the coil packs on the drinker's side, as well as moving the petrol tank purge valve back a bit so it's not an eyesore on the fuel rails.

I also came across some melted wiring so I have also started restoring the engine harness as well as deleting the MAF plug.

I have also come to the decision that I might tear the beast down and do a bare metal respray.
Oh boy this is getting out of hand haha

Thing is with cars, they usually do get out of hand!! Go nuts if you can, why not I say.

If you still plan on the Simmons can’t go wrong with silver/polished lip.

I think I am going to go with the silver with a polished lip but black is close aswell. at least I don't have to decide yet as about a million other things just got put in front of that lol

That's a wild crack

That's a wild crack

Tell me about it! I am no panel beater so I am a bit worried if this car is worth fixing, after seeing that crack I have decided to strip it down to bare metal and get it resprayed if its fixable, but if that crack is not fixable I will try and find a new shell.

Strut Tower crack is a common thing on VT - VZ. If I recall its the seam sealer failing due to the car being too low...
On my old vu ute we re seam sealed it and fitted a strut brace and changed from ultra low back to Low kings......
