LOL, fair call. The last guy must have had a 6 pack of stubbies aswell.

How many cans did you have before you put the pinstripe on the guard?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!


did not notice that!!

 

[Dirbatua]

lol also the guard isnt 100% straight either so its not as wonky as it looks in the photo.

 

[ari666]

pffft. that guard is the straighest thing on the whole car ;p

That would explain why all VK's looked like they were thrown together from five metres away.

Hey mate, top job. Looking mint... Quick question, how'd you go about bolting up the t5 to the car?
Cheers Mike

its a great pain in the ass since you can't get the HDT T5 mounts anymore so i am fabricating something up, there is one for sale on ebay atm but its going to sell for shitloads i bet.

you can get the aftermarket ones off CRS and v6conversionguys etc but there like 400 bucks.

Hi Dirbatua love the project. Looks to be coming along very nicely!

Just a quick one I noticed you are using pacemaker PH5700. I am doing the same conversion and I noticed you had the VN/VP/VQ extractors on the motor originally. Will these not fit at all with the VK. I'm pulling out my VQ motor this weekend but still haven't heard exactly whether the extractors out of that will fit the VK or not.

Cheers
