Looks like a nice car to start with. agree with choice of 17'' VY SS wheels.
Red is nice...

Suggestion, WOuldnt of painted rocker covers til motors in & running perfectly. Hope you know if you want to run it via the vt computer you will need to keep the egr & you will need to find a manual vt ecu, and need to get vt extractors modified for a vp body/egr... Or you can run it via the VS gear, NO egr, you can use VS extractors etc etc etc. And vs manual computer. or u can just run it via delco 808 ecu.

Hope you know if you change ECU's you will need to do a bit of work to the motor & changing sensor's / tapping the MAT sensor an all that crap.

Cheers

Looks good i like the rear wing and rear bar, grill gives it some balls but i would colour code the mirrors. will go hard with your engine mods planned and 3.9's yeeha all the best with it.
