Thanks Guys , Glad u like as for the fuel , I have not run it out on a full fuel tank as yet , Due to the price of the dam fuel these days. The seats are genuine HDT Scheel Seats , Door Trims , Carpet , Floor Mats all match. I had the red around the outside of the seats done to match the car. With the Momo Wheels , I had a very RARE set of Momo Stars in the 16 x 8 , They are as rare as hens teeth in the 8's , I no longer have them due to some low life scum who thought that they needed them more than me. I am looking at putting a set of Aero's on the car. I also have a set of the VL Calais Rims which I have also polished , But I prefer the VP Calais Wheels , Until I get a set of Aero's. And yes the later model Badges are comming off..... Cheers Guys..

Sorry EvilPet , I dont mean to sound rude mate , But I will not post the build number of my car over the net , only due to the fact that my brother has a HDT SS VK and he displayed his car over the net a few years back and we went to a car show in Queensland only to find a replica build exactly the same as his car with the same numbers written up on his display board he had advertised. He soon took them down though lol So I keep my numbers to myself sorry..

Looks joy mate, but what sort of hdt is it? The alloys and badges momo steering wheel are not doing justice.... I hate to stir the pot.... but theres something thats not convincing me, Is it a mock up? (Actually sounding like a prick here... sorry, what sort of HDT is it mate?)
