Polished part of the grille and bumper last night, and the rest of the stainless on the car, came out alright:

OT: I'll probably start pulling the badges off, Bumpers etc. Really want to get it sandblasted soon...

Oil, oil filter and fuel filter.

Holden's "quick connect" fuel line fittings really are quite quick and easy to connect. But disconnecting...grr.

Secret to undoing them is to push the connector further on so that the releasing tool can push the clips out of the way. If it takes longer than 3 seconds, your doing it wrong ;)

Crappy camera picture but you get the idea.
Front seems to of settled in much better after some spirited driving.


Front lowered 25mm
Rear 35mm

It no longer feels like i'm driving a Kingswood.

Looks good. Rims suit the colour.
I just wish I was on my opens so I could have bought an SS. :(
Meh, as soon as the VF SS utes come out, i'm buying one.

Yeah, I know you have to push the fitting in further, then pull the filter out, but I wasn't using the disconnecting tool, so it was just tricky to push, squeeze and pull all at once. Particularly because it was my first time doing it, I wasn't sure how much force I needed, and I didn't want to break the clips.

Just fitted a 22" light bar.

All i can say is wow will not miss my spotlights at all.

OFF

ON

The phone didnt do a good job of capturing my normal lights, there's more light than what it appears but still a massive amount of light from this unit, 110% satisfied, great mounts too.

Tore it down ready for a top end rebuild, big cam, new valves, head shaved it's going to be a fucking beast! :facesjump:

Bottom end was bloody perfect, crosshatch was awesome and zero piston slap at all, must have been rebuilt in the last few years because it does have a fair few k's and i do rape the shit out of it daily, limiter bashing ftmw :ph34r2:

Haha, tought those looked familiar.

They came through work and got painted, the centers were pretty buggered, the insides of the spokes and majority of the outsides were taken back to metal. Came up mint, lips look good.



Put my diff back in, just waiting on a brake master.

Backed into a pole! FML. Only pole in the car park as well. No lights in car park at 5:00am looking out tinted windows.
I guess its what I get for trying to park it away from other people during the day at work.

Luckily not. Nowhere near as bad as I thought. Checked it out in daylight today and was thankfully surpised at how minimal it it.
Just clipped the right hand side part of the bumper. Small dint but barely noticeable once I gave the paintwork a little hand polish. :beer:

I'll just wait till someone runs into me on the Olsen ave. exit off Smith Street to replace it. Its bound to happen sooner or later.

Took the HR to the panel beaters today to get the bonnet and roof redone due to the previous owner not latching it properly and it coming back over the roof. Also getting some minor rust cut out of the bottoms of the doors and re plated, no bog here :D
