ok bought a ute to tow the bikes in as the vt wasnt all that practical. basically its a 93 vp s pac ute it was a factory 5ltr manual, but i bought it as a rolling chassis. since buying it, its spent most of the time being painted in the paint shop, but ive got it back now. when i bought it, it had nothing but a shell. so i basically had to start from the begining. so far - Repsrayed in candy apple pink with PPG gold pearl - VQ Caprice full interior Loom - Climate control conversion - VX GTS Coulson seats to go in, in tan leather (will be finished those in january) - had PVC mixed up and matched to the leather on the seats, and painted the dash and trims ec... - converted to power windows - converted to elec mirrors -VS SS front end -VR SS Motor -VP 5ltr engine loom -VR SS 5spd gearbox -VP 5ltr ecu -new set of 22inch rims to go to replace the 22z that were on it. got heaps to go, but though id show where i am at so far. (dont knock the paint, its fresh off the gun) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
