pretty sure they fit but i wouldnt go putting one on a vp ss. red stripes look heaps good on them, stand out good on the white paint too. oh and i just had a look at some pictures of your car and.. dammmmm, its hot!

as for the wheels, im just waiting for the perfect ones to come allong, vq caprice series 2 or maybs some vt calaiseses :yeah:

some pics.. still trying to tidy up the engine bay a bit more, still have some wires
and relays from the gas system that was in there. also some interior pics, going to
tidy up where you can see the panel between the back seats and the rear doors.

k - so it's a stater with a motor that has red covers. No need to crucify the guy. Nice car dude - just ask a mod to change the title to something that won't give you so much grief....

Hmmm.... I must be getting mellow in my old age (or is that beer???). Speak of the devil - I need more Beer! :beer chug:
