Well it's been a while since anything really significant happened with this car. I've just been driving it around and enjoying it.. bullying VE HSVs is pretty fun
always surprises the hell out of people. Really though, for the most part the car is doing exactly what I built it for - a comfortable streeter with enough kick to put a smile on my face.
HOWEVER:
I've had a hard time finding parts for this mulberry interior, the body is starting to show its age with a load of creaks and clunks that never used to be there, and a serious need for panel and paint work is starting to loom on the horizon.
I'm pretty excited to have gone some way toward fixing all three of these things in one hit - after some discussion, last night I bought myself a Christmas present. A lot of you should be familiar with VN_Luke's gorgeous red VN. VS firewall, VR Caprice interior, smoothed engine bay, low kilometres and fresh paint.
This is unlikely to be a quick process but I am looking forward to getting stuck into what's shaping up to be a bigger job than doing the conversion was in the first place!
Here's what she looks like, for anyone who hasn't read the build thread..
