Yes the parts turned up this morning. ---------- Post added 16-04-12 at 12:27 ---------- Just going to go through what I've done so far. Switched out the 6 cylinder cluster for a Walkinshaw one I picked up a while back. Put a V8 pedal box in. I was looking for 1 and ended up stubbling across 2. Bonnet strut mod Hate the red covers! ---------- Post added 16-04-12 at 12:30 ---------- Picked up some parts. Some bits turned up today. ---------- Post added 16-04-12 at 12:34 ---------- Also fitted a gas strut to the boot. Works pretty good. Photos are from my phone. Got to glue the back carpet back down and pull the rest out and give it a good scrub. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks Mike (SIKVLT) New power steering hose turned up from Oz. Bought some heat sleeve to try and keep them well protected as well as the speedo and clutch cable. ---------- Post added 16-04-12 at 12:50 ---------- Pulled the fuel tank out. Was a little fumey. Really need to find a good tank with no dents. Cleaned it up anyway for now but have to keep the budget down to use the money for interior and TTB's. ---------- Post added 16-04-12 at 12:52 ---------- Pulled the fuel tank out. Was a little fumey.

How difficult is it to pull your diff to bits?

That steering wheel is awesome!!!

I've got a rebuilt VLT 3.45 28 spline I may sell towards the end of the Walky build. I've had it since I own my VLT's 10 odd years ago. ---------- Post added 17-04-12 at 06:26 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by zaksvl [View Post] That steering wheel is awesome!!! Thanks man. I sold my left testicle for it. ---------- Post added 17-04-12 at 06:37 ---------- Got a tweed sample sent to me from a Walkinshaw owner in Sydney.I really wanted to get some genuine Walky interior but the postage from Oz isn't justifing it. I'm going to try overseas to track some material that is close. Lets see what happens. A Genuine SS Decal turned up today! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Awesome work mate

Can you spot the mods? Still a small part to do. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Colour coded chrome? Looks the goods - I did the same to my car - not a fan of chrome!
