Richie's VT Exec - VX SS Kitted - A tidy 6 banger

Nah. Getting that B-pillar trim black but leaving the outer trims chrome will make it class. Cuts down on the chrome to accentuate the chrome.

Chrome is like a snare drum. It shouldn’t be used as a bass drum but it is totally required to add finesse to the music.

Two trims and that car is magical.

Won’t be long before the chrome goes to crap and I’m forced to take action. A good buff on a tidy pair and we should be happy

Being me, I couldn’t let ‘good enough’ be - so I’ve replaced all the interior roof, door & boot lights… now just need a matching warmth footwell globes… it never ends.

Also, in the interest of keeping parts available for people wanting to replace broken / missing bits - Again, build ninja came in clutch to build us a centre belt rear cover/eschelon.

I could’ve smoothed it out - but the finish is pretty nice straight off the printer..

Been a pretty depressing couple months for the car.

Sent it away for:
- valley gaskets
- fuel pressure reg
- injectors and a full freshen up of that entire area…

As it was getting delivered, the motors new found pressured cooling system decided that the head gasket was no long fit to hold water….

So heads are off and getting a full service (fingers crossed no cracks).

Been too long since I’ve driven this thing.
