Interior is really tidy, the seat covers have been on there since factory!
Apart from rolling the rear guards a few times, picking the right sized tyre, and grinding the rear seat belt bolt back it wasn't overly complicated

But apart from an adjustable pan-hard rod, and although I was skeptical to do it, you've got to hit that lip underneath the door with a mullet to get it smooth with the rest of the guards after you've rolled them.
Otherwise if you don't do it you can make a mess of freshly painted wheels like this:

With a stiffer rear setup, and without almost 400kg's worth of guys sitting in the back it probably wouldn't have happened but.

Think i've got most of the Wilwood catalogue in the car now...

Now that I have the driveline sorted I just have a couple of small things to do with the interior, and will then decide on what to do for an engine.

08-04-14, 08:53 GMT+10#39 Definitely my fav build on CT. Top work all around. Looks like a old man on the inside, clean cruiser on the exterior and a beast under the hood.

Cheers MUS, appreciate it! Hopefully have the turbo on pretty soon, along with a couple of other things.
Put the (genuine) vx gts's on, looks way better in my opinion.
