Hey everyone, After a long time in the waiting VL2DY4 now has her new dash and centre console installed. A big thanks to Kelvin 'NZ-DOSEIT' for all of the time and effort he put into it - I think it has come up great! It really finishes off the interior and ties it all together as the speaker pods and rear ash trays are now colour matched. It really seems to modernise the interior whilst bringing a touch of personality to the car... and the gauge holder finishes it all off nicely! Thanks again Kelvin! Below are the photos... probably what you all came in here for in the first place! Let us know what you think... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Where's the "like" button Awesome work

Looks good man, now give me your seats Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

sweet to see it in and finished off, looks the ducks guts.only took few years eh....oop! glad you like it Jason.Love that colour really does bring the interior to life. Good luck with what you decide your going to do with VL2DY4.

Looks like it belongs there,If you did not know what interior should be in these cars you would think it would be factory.Well done. Cheers Marty

nice, how do you get a dash that smooth?? sand is like crazy?

How do you know what gear your in? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah, chuck it in R when your in top gear and it acts like an over-drive Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i dont think the gears lined up anyway so there wasnt much point having factory one, looks good though. Yip took crap load of sanding to get it like that, lets just say i couldve done a robbery after as i didnt have any finger prints left.Makes a huge difference rather than just painting over the factory wrinkle. pen rail on crash pad has been filled aswell.

Thanks for the comments guys - I'm really very happy with it.

No they didn't line up properly after installing the TH400. I do still have an original one in case the new owner wants to put it on. Regards, Jason Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well I followed the link and couldn't find the 'buy now', so I guess I wont be having your seats Seriously though, that is a pretty cheap price for what you've put into it. If i had the money, Id buy it and keep it in storage until you settle into your house and really wish you didnt sell it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks awesome!

There are some really nice put together VL's for sale at the moment.Good luck with your sale! Cheers Marty

believe me guys ive been trying to talk Jase out of it for months, even held back on giving back the dash so he had to keep it longer, haha. Good luck with the sale Jase, i still like your wifes idea, put it into her name and let her drive/own it and then you will realise what you have lost.But i know where you coming from man. I hope the new owner takes care of it and leaves it as a V8!
