Yeah easier to see the speedo now (not that i care lol) but in a few weeks time it will look alot cleaner again

Washed and polished her for the first time in year and a bit. With a years worth of dust build up on her looked a little sad. Once water hit the paint it just beaded off beautifully. Still feels like glass when run your hand over it.



Bought a new center console compartment to replace the busted one that came with the piano black facia. Neat and tidy. Conditioned all the leather. Baby soft still

I'd murder for a set of seats like those

They are literally that good. Only downfall is hot as #### in summer. I always park with the sunshade up and a towel over the cluster and steering wheel. A hot leather seat does make you sweet a little though...

Its been a while

Still not running lol

Got a duel pod cluster and got it painted up to look like a factory piano black surround. Gonna get rid of the a/f gauge.





Masked up and painted the ve throttle body. Looks fantastic now right at home with the other black parts. Ultimate conversion wiring are making the vz to ve throttle body module and hopefully send it off soon.





Sorted out my fuel feed hose issue. The pic is of what yella terra supply in the kit and my hose.



Managed to pick up some simmons very cheal in mint condition and near new 245/30 tyres. Only 8.5 all round but for the price i paid ill let it slide. Will eventually get 9.5 rears with a 275 tyre. Just one issue which is explanatory in the pic :(





With all the work and good thats been happeneing, something **** was bound to happen. Put the belt on and this happened. YT is sorting it out now and hopefully send me a replacement tensioner.



Have a few quotes for body/paint work to do cowl and few other touch ups. Gonna be costly but want it sone right.

Started off as an idea. Then a piece of paper, cardboard then a mdf template. Had a mate draw it up in CAD and then send the file to be laser cut. Big cheers to Chris :)



Got it polished up nice



And now its mounted finally



Have another idea to mount the water block up neatly too.

Close but no cigar
