Hey Guys, Pay me out all ya like, i'm over it now anyway. Finally i'm planning on doing a full on stage II of my interior. Basically all the lower part of the dash will be white, the lower parts of the door cards will be white, and all the winders and what not will remain black. The back seat cover now gets the name 'MY96VS' embroidered in silver on it, and custom front seat covers will be done soon... when mum gets around to it. The centre console will be painted and the cover re-trimmed in vinyl. I'll get pics when its done but i have seen a similar thing done, and it looked bloody good so i'll be expecting the usual comments from you lot.

Dude if it what you want, do it....... It is ur car man! But I seem to remember ur white "stand out like tits on a bull" boot install........Different! Good on ya for being different and out there, it takes alot of guts. Can't wait to see the finished product. Good luck

It was a little different but then so is every boot install i see. Hopefully down the track that will get an overhaul to. The interior is going to be very different. Anyone coming down the coast on the weekend can stick their head in and have a look.

have to show us when u finish it robbo, then u can buy my auto heheh Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just do it Rob. Dont give a crap what anyone else says. As long as you are happy with the end result then thats all that matters. Post pics wont ya!!!

Oh dude i couldn't give a **** what this lot think.... But yeah pics will be up on Sunday... some might even see it on Saturday if ya down the coast.

So are you doing it yourself or are you having PT or another shop perform the work? Do you stil llive up at Coopers Plains or have you moved?

Mate i'm doin it myself with some assistance from my missus. I'm still living at Coopers Plains, but maybe not for long. Hopefully i'll be moving to a place closer to the city.

Good on ya champ, As long as a certain theme/colour pattern is followed it will look good. Keen to see pics as it progresses too... Mick

project whiteboy returns !

hahahahaha yeah project whiteboy is back with a vengance. I bought 2 cans of Vinyl spray today, and a couple of cans of gloss white enamel spray paint, 2 cans of clear, and a can of touch up paint matched to my car. Lots of painting being done... and MAYBE a new gauge to be installed.

nos or boost one ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hahaha nah... either fuel pressure, or ammeter, or water temp.

why dont u get a air/fuel.... somethin u probably dont already have in ur lexcen dash ? just a thought.. put it in a nice little cup painted white.. and she'll be sweet ! are u pedals white too ? cause if u havent already done them white.. i wouldnt cause thy'll get pretty dirty ! Ollie

Go **** yourself ollie ya little smartass.... and i mean that in the nicest way possible. Yeah ok so air fuel would be something that i don't have, i can see more use out of the three that i mentioned given that my water temp gauges is proven to be faulty, i have no ammeter and we all know VS's have alternator issues, and also, there is no fuel pressure gauge.

Quote: water temp gauges is proven to be faulty i think its a common problem from the vn onward to ur car hey.. i installed a water temp guage in mates vn ss the other day cause his in dash temp guage is faulty.. and he wanted to rice up the interior a bit so yeh. looks good tho.. and man u know i always pull the smartass calls !! Ollie Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Oh man i could crap on for a good 2 pages here listing common problems with the VS... alternator, water temp, water pump, fuel pumps just to name a couple. How hard was the water temp gauge to install? And yeah, you are the ducks nuts when it comes to smartass calls round here.

exchaser is right you know, There was an article in street commodores about it, Jason Grays (editor) VN boiled when the guage said it was cool, so he fitted all aftermarket gauges, Anyway apparently this is common for these cars, the article went on to say. Mick

hey rob.. the guage took about 20 minutes to install was a lil fiddly.. hardest part was finding a place to put it that wasnt in the way, didnt obstruct vison, and was practical.. ie not illegal lol ! very easy to install.. positive --> power wire of switched headlighs.. (so when he turns his lights on the guage lights up in car same as dash lights do) ground -->i found a nice lil spot of metal to ground it and ten the sender and wire. really easy.. i like guages anyway better than the in dash **** but yeh Ollie
