I tryed to buy the set up off the old guy years ago when i had my paint shop, thought it would be a good feather in the cap to go with paint jobs etc. Thanks for your comment too, the wagon was never ment to be anything special, just a daily girl with a bit of poke and V8 rumble. But i can see it getting out of hand....which isnt a bad thing Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Definitely Red Walls! Everyone is feeling the wagon love. Keep those pics coming. Are you going to build so it looks HDT inside and out?I saw some vk gts seats and door cards for sale on trademe. Very similar to the VK SS trim. Don't know hard it is to strip the sedan rears to fit wagon rears or are they bigger trims?.. I still reckon you should trim the scheel seats and put them in. They are super nice!

Agree 100% those scheel seats(yours for sale) are they left and right??Or is it just the way the pics are?But do HDT it on the interior!I like something a bit different and a VK wagon looks the goods,well they did make a few! Keep the pics comming! Cheers Marty ps I am suprised the VK GTS seats have not sold yet?(on trademe)

yea ive been looking at those vk GTS seats, they on my watch list. my interior is early VL and the colour is close to the HDT cloth. Been talking to mate bout getting the Scheels trimmed to suit the VK with the brock wedge head rests, would look sweet in the wag. ill post some pics of interior on the weekend. Matry- the seats are left and right but you can swap the pins in the sides to colapse the backs from either side if that makes sence. Im a little worried its going to get out of hand as a HDT rep, as its a daily itll be parked up everywhere, id hate to come out and see it gone cause someone will recognise the seats etc. Happens alot up here. Thanks for sharing the love with the wag guys, means alot that other people like it as much as i do.

It won't get out of hand. It will get featured in a magazine!!!! Fuel pump kill switch and a few annoying deterents and you've got them caught in the act.

Danny was kind enough to give me his engine cover for me to smooth cover and make 1 piece, got rid of the joins, lion logo on front. Unsure of what colour to do it? maybe gun metal or something brighter?... Bought the gas struts from work today, cheap as and grunty. Did my tail gate as it kept dropping on ya head like a gilotine and did the front bonnet. As the saying goes 'should have done it sooner'. Was so easy and quick, honestly took 15 minutes max. Need to trim bonnet though as the VK bonnet edge seems to hit and jam against stay. bonnet sits up slightly. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Turn your gas struts around,The shaft should always point down,Main body to the top,The seals will pack up really fast that way,And most likly fit better. Cheers Marty

Yeah the oil inside the strut will keep the seal lubricated Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i thought that was the case as soon as i did it. Ill swap em round at lunch time. cheers guys

Hey man what are the gas stays worth if you dont mind me asking , im getting a bit sick of the standard rod

Cheap as chips,I have got brand new sets here for 50 bucks,You can use the same struts as the wagon tailgate,I went to a really short set from Oz. Cheers Marty

i got 4 of them and the brackets for $100 +gst. they make a huge difference hayden, you wonder why you ever put up with the broom handle! As marty said you can use VK-VL tail gate stays, which is what i got new ones of.

I went for a longer one like the Walky has factory. The short ones Marty is refering to look awesome when the car is on show!

Unsure of what colour to do it? maybe gun metal or something brighter?... I reckon body colour or the 2 other current colours on the wag. Red or Black. Black would look cool with the diagonal swages on the rocker covers in silver. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was thinking more like chubbys VH, but darker charcoal. or the colour that my old ute Audrey was (graphite pearl), for those of you that knew that old girl. ---------- Post added 31-08-12 at 06:04 ---------- yep those pics did help...alot. but id always wanted to do it anyway, gave guy a call and turns out hes just round corner from my place now and cause i put heap of mates onto him with their cars hes going to do mine cheap as.
