Nothings changed but the SSV’s are back on again with new tyres and I took some fresh pictures. I am planning on getting the clutch changed after tax time and possibly a new exhaust as the current system has a hole in it..

Havent really done much to this other then maintaining it lately which has been good, I changed the console lid to a Calais one which is surprisingly lighter then the original
I have put the stock wheels back on as the SSV’s needed tyres and I bought new wheels for the VS. I realised a queen sized bed does not fit in the back so had to borrow m…[Read more]

Aaron O’hara in Gawler did the seats and door trims in my VS, was well priced although he is usually booked out a few months or more in advance so be prepared for that.. My seats were part leather and part cloth and from memory is was around the $3500 mark

Had the aircon regassed again and its colder than its ever been I think, other then that its been reliable. Makes a weird clunking noise when turning right under acceleration which I need to look into. Went on cruise for charity so was cleaned up for that, took a pic before it rained. Saw my old Calais there as well and was good to see that still…[Read more]

Finally got the ute lowered as the rear shocks were stuffed and making a banging noise, figured id have it done at the same time. Have also had to replace the A/C compressor, Power steering return line and the water pump. Next big thing ill probably do is the clutch as I think thats on its way out..

Thanks guys
The carbon I scraped all the old clear off with a razor blade, it came off really easy. I then lightly rubbed it with a grey scotch pad, prepsoled, used PPG plastic primer and then dusted a couple of coats of 2K clear with a final wet coat. I should have prepsoled it again as I got a bunch of wax holes in the clear but it is a whole l…[Read more]

Went on the Holden dream cruise, was a great day out and heaps of cars out which was good to see. Where I was parked I was able to watch most of the older stuff drive past before leaving the starting point.

Thanks for that, I did notice the genuine ones were quiet a bit more expensive from the quick look at eBay yesterday.

Best picture I could get of my fans from the ute, December 05 SS manual. As you can see from the picture its leaking coolant from the pump, what are the best water pumps for these? Best to stick to genuine pumps or are the aftermarket ones alright?

Finally got myself a HSV console after searching for a while. I also got a set of woodgrain pieces from a series 2 Calais and wrapped them with a carbon fibre wrap, didnt come out too bad for my first time but will redo a couple of pieces when I get time. The shifter surround was peeling when I got it so I scraped the old clear off and re-cleared…[Read more]

I dont think the whole dash has to come out, just the glove box to get to just the fan

Instead of lowering the ute I bought a new stereo and speakers for it, just basic head unit and speaker upgrade nothing too fancy. Was sick of not being able to plug my phone/ipod into it. Bought everything while autobarn was having a 25% off sale so worked out to be a really good price.
