I like that Dave is obviously taking the time it needs to make it all right, and working. You'd be happy to take the tinnie to him for sure!

So true

@LordandGodofYouTube Год назад

Two videos this week, you're spoiling us Howard. I do miss the lawn porn though.

Cheers Glen, I give it a mow late today. lots of weeds at the moment but still looks green

I was going to comment on your last video asking about Dave's vr, I didn't....then here it is. Awesome job, it seems like a bit of a process

@AstillDesign Год назад

No worries! We will have to do a final one when its all done

Awesome job Dave. Thanks for sharing mate.

Cheers for the vid. Good for dodgey backyard hot rodders like me. I did learn a lot from your other vids,as you are awesome at building stuff. I'm just more grass roots.👍

Cheers Ben, good to have you along.

Great job Dave cheap reliable power.. Looks very neat n tidy.. The Ss kit will make it look very neat.. I own 2 Ls powered cars one for a daily and a 408ci ls stroker that I've fitted into my Hz holden sedan.. To do a conversion properly takes time and a fair bit of trail and error.. Always great content thanks Howard 👌👌

Good one to put away

@@johnboy5167 Yep i agree i just don't get these turkeys who say yep ill park it up for 20 years!!! worst thing to do to a car of any type.

@NicholasCox85 Год назад

You've probably sorted it by now, but Build Ninja makes a nice shifter display plate which uses the Dakota sender to indicate gear selection and lights up at night.

@AstillDesign Год назад

cheers mate

@richardloring4572 Год назад

Sounds like a nice car and all the custom pieces SOUND great, surely the camera person could actually zoom in/walk in and SHOW the head unit install and the airbox? Great car and really well done conversion.

@AstillDesign Год назад

Hey Richard, will get onto for you next time. Was a quick catch up when he was home during the day. We are all a bit busy.

@@AstillDesign I had a VR SS back in the 90’s. I loved that car, still my favourite Commodore of all time. I’m really wanting to get another one and do an LS conversation too. These videos are very helpful. Thank you.

@markcollishaw1532 Год назад

Would be interested to know how you sort out the shifter position and light. Am fitting a TCI outlaw shifter in my VR (700r4 box) and require the same.

@chopit5685 Год назад

Hi Mark. We used a build ninja light holder and LED set up which was not ideal for a factory look so we modified it and made it work. We also used a Dakota digital sender and box with lots of backyard engineering. As a very handy person it took me a full day to do it all to make the set-up work together.

Love the work boys. What’s the cost of l98 conversion ? Budgeting for ? If shop does it on my behalf ?

@AstillDesign Год назад

No idea, Dave has done all this at home.

@anthonywhelan8373 Год назад

How did you polish the red trim ? I’ve just brought a Vs ute with a fg turbo conversion all engineered and the red trim is letting it down thanks Anthony

@chopit5685 Год назад

I removed them from the car and sanded them with 1000, then 2000, then 3000 foam backed pads that I got from Wisharts Paint Supplies in Unanderra. I then polished them with automotive cut and polish using a rag.

Howard, what is the part number of the radio Dave put in, been looking for my project, double din single back sounds what i require.

@chopit5685 Год назад

I have absolutely no idea sorry mate. I got this from Frankies Auto Electrics in Albion Park as an unboxed sponsored deal. If you tell him it was for Daves VR he will know what you are asking about. It is a Sony and the code on the front is XAV-AX5500 if that helps.

Thanks Dave

@luccadeee7174 4 месяца назад

Hey mate, just checked with Dave. No seats available. Cheers H
