Guards have to come off.... need to put grommets in through where your kick panels are... pull through thick wiring harness on drivers side into car and pull apart and rerun. oh yeah battery needs to go into boot also. need to pull out heater box on passenger side pull apart fuse box and pull out all relays and fuses and pull into car pull apart harness and rerun...... so really not that hard just some really late nights in the shed and make sure everything is marked and helps to take photos of original wiring ect. i should probably also say that im an auto electrician but i think anyone with mechanical knowledge coul pull it off Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nice nice let us know with your progress will be a few nice vls goin around perth soon

90 holes!!! hot damn. Didn't realise there were that many in a VL bay!!! Congrats and keep the thread updated bro. Stevie

Fuck yeah man that's awesome, I really admire guys like you who do such quality work on their own in their sheds. The blue sticks out like dogs balls on the orange, is that colour tiger mica? Looks mad. What plans do you have for the body and interior? Rims?

man that looks king but get rid of the t70 there crap ive had one on mine and it lasted about 2weeks and there laggy as anything.

thanks guys kinda makes the late nights in the shed even more worth it to hear all that, to answer q's.... hoping for 11's but would be happy with a 12sec pass (i know thats what they all say) Colour is range rover sport vesuvious orange will post pic of car in the sun then can see the difference much more orange. body will be LE front lip, signature series 3 skirts and door panels, sign 3 rear skirt and group a grill was gonna go with walky but decided to go more subtle and still show vl lines. Have kits to shave all door handles and will also move petrol cap into boot install. interior already has fibreglass door panels front and rear buckets in back with fibreglass back shelf, currently making sub box to mount rockford power 12 between the rear seats also will be building glass dash and centre console. gonna try and push the envelope with this car.... will see what happens. Again thanks for your comments guys will post some more pics Hey guys heres some more pics homemade spray booth (to prove car has been painted in shed also) engine bay in sun (colour is range rover sport vesuvios orange) chassis rails have been seam welded and also firewall has been shaved and all ripples filled including aircon holes and engine harness holes. Back seats Fibreglass parcel shelf (will be painted same colour as car) Cheers guys.... dave Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
