07-04-14, 07:43 GMT+10#21 A few updates for you guys.
At the start of the project, I brought a new 2 piece moulded carpet from an Australian manufacturer. I spent a full day fitting it, adjusting it and at the end of the day I was far from happy with the fit. It was far to baggy around the trans tunnel.
I managed to find a reasonable genuine GMH secondhand grey carpet. Fits like a glove!
This finally allowed me to fit the rest of the interior on Saturday.
Sunday was an early start. I managed to get the front and rear of the car back together, including my brand new plates.
I still need to tweak the fitment of the bars and trims a little bit but I'm reasonably happy with were its at now.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures.
Cheers

I also picked up a Devonish interior out of a VS during the week for well under $500. I have 2.5m of grey Berlina material, just trying to decide wether to get the fronts trimmed up, or sell them and wait for some scheels.

I've just been enjoying this thing, fixing a few little problems and cruising it on Sundays.
I stumbled across some wheels for sale that I have wanted for a long time at a price I couldn't refuse. Not sure on the colour yet.

06-07-14, 16:07 GMT+10#32 Thanks for all the nice comments guys!. I've just been fixing a few niggling problems up and taking it on the occasional Sunday drive.
The intercooler that I had fitted was annoying me, as it looked untidy. I came across a 600x230x76mm cooler at the right price!.
Here are the results
Cheers

06-07-14, 16:16 GMT+10#33 I think it looks way better with the smaller cooler mate. More subtle.
Didn't mine it on the vt gts wheels either.

Thanks for the feedback. The car sits on the VT GTS wheels currently and you can actually see the Walky wheels stacked up in the corner of the top photo.

25-08-14, 04:40 GMT+10#37 It's come along way, I personally think the white walkies don't look to hot, if they were silver with a polished lip different story! Looks great mate. GTS wheels look sweet aswell.
