Ah huh. Thanks big time for that I'm going to spend this morning susing it out. When I toke the old box out it had one wire from there to a connector box. And there was another wire which had broken off somewhere. Hopfully if i can find that mayb the revs might drop too? Lol hope so anyway

Another thing to check is the speedo drive gear colour in the trans. When you pulled the speedo cable out of the box, it would have had a coloured gear on the end of it. Standard VL V8 will have a light blue colour gear which has 25 teeth to match the 3.08 diff. Because I changed my diff to 2.77, I swapped the gear for a yellow one which has 24 teeth and now my speedo is pretty much bang on Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ah mean. i have changed it with the same colour. from memory think it was light blue. ill get a pic. still yet to have a look at that "Solenoid Actuating Switch" hopfully can tackle that sat

being busy the last wee while... got windscreen out and found its not too badly rusted out. havnt being around a computer to up load some pics so will do as soon as i get home Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats good its not rusted out. mine had no rust but it was leaking real bad ,had new windscreen fitted and it was still leaking so got them to do it again and finally no leaks

What springs/shocks are in it ?

um have super low v8s in the front and i think super low 6cyl in the rear... think my mate put them in like that to even it out with all the kit in cos the v8 super lows looked like poos lol

removed windscreen and revealed all the bad stuff didnt come up as bad as i thought it would ive being talking to a panel beater and he says i have to use 2pac paint around the windscreen or something can anyone explain a little bit more as i dont really have painting skills lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

so it doesn't react with the sealant. depends on what you use though,

Hows this coming along?

slowly haha... its at my mates place and ive being messing around with my 4x4 truck. should be doing some work on tomorrow night thursday night i think. will post up date soon. im not sure weather to paint it my self or get someone to? thoughts

Looking forward to seeing some update pics. thanks man got some updates and pics of all the hard work tonight. ---------- Post added 15-09-12 at 00:53 ---------- so drove it to where all the fun began lol started with the hard stuff first. sanding the roof to get rid of all the crazy cracking. after 20mins of trying to sand it found it was easier to scrape it off to primer. then was to sand the primer down till we had this... next we bogged and sanded down the holes from the rails and any imperfection that was there. then Jase got on the gun and sprayed the primer so finished up at midnight with two coats of primer on. then tomorrow i think the goal is to lightly sand it back and go from there. sorry about all the pics just thought id post all that i got. enjoy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looking good! I just went back through the thread. Is the wagon a factory Calais wagon? That's is a nice kit too.

awesome work, love to see progress. love the LE kit on the wagon, bit different. Quick question....did you guys rust kill it all before primer?
