Project VX SS

16 hrs is about right, but $203 an hour, wow. They did all that and didn't replace the seal plate? Surely they pulled the engine out and didn't do it all in the bay?

My bad, sorry works out at $140 per hr, so frustrated i was looking at gst not hr rate, looked at wrong box..

Now it's on the road again i can start getting stuff done....

Picked up the Front Seat today i dropped off before Christmas to be reskinned.
Now i can just swap the Passengers seats over with no down time. Once done I will sort the Drivers to do next the same (if you go back a few pages i showed what i've been doing with it) That will just leave the center rear pull down part to do which i still need a new clip/button.

Also ordered a set of MSD Leads and ACDelco Plugs

Looks comfy.

It is

Fitted the Drivers Seat, look good feels great compared to my ass sitting on the floor.
Only prob is the seat remote not working, so it's stuck up and tilt forwards a bit. To hot to redo it today but will need to come out again and change over the wiring or motor or such.

If you go back and look at page 1 or 2 to see the original interior it has come a bit of a way, Leather Seats with stitched logo, Leather Door Card with Red insert, Chrome Handles, Chrome Shift Knob, Leather Center Console Lid with logo...

Leads and Plugs turned up today.
Hope to fit them this weekend..
MSD 8.5mm Leads

 

[Phillbert]

Got the seat out to find it was a wire not plugged in. Put it all together and now i got adjustable seat which is very comfy.

Tried to do leads and plugs but... last lead on left just wont come off, pulled twisted... so i got 1 plug and 3 leads done today lol. Need a flex drive for socket to get spark plugs, the 100mm extension just a bit to long and no extension to short, a flex joint is about 50mm the right size to get at them.

But i must say it does feel better already.

Needed the Center Back Seat Press Down Button to finish off the back seat.
Pick one up today for $50 at Wreckers (center back seat with good button)
Picked it apart and got it all ready for Trimmers to do there bit.
That only leaves the Front Passengers to do to finish interior.

 

[Phillbert]

Picked up the Rear Center Seat to complete the Rear Seat section.
I spent a bit of time getting the center arm rest to work, Seems like it was never used and stuck so the old wd40 soaking before it went to the trimmers. works like new now

Wait. That’s the exact same part used on the rear seat base of the Crewman! I sourced one from the UK when I couldn’t get one here, found they were used on Vectra or something.

Holy crap dude. You’ve made my day!
