Why you shouldn't buy a car that you haven't inspected, step by step pics of the restoration and conversion. LS V8 Converted manual with power steering
Geez even sounds more like 80's than 2000's , 4 into one headers maybe why ol school sound, owned a genuine 100% original vk grpA so just relived it . Mega job fantastic rebuild the K lives on awesome work.
How many Goup A replicas does the world need. You go to a car show and you see 10 of them lined up. You could of done something different that would turn heads.
Busy doing this engine/box swap now. Did you find with the CRS kit that the gearbox doesn't sit very straight or flat? Mine seems to be closer to the passenger side and the box is slightly rotated/on a lean also. Would be good to know if yours was similar? (engine mounts are definitely on the right side) Cheers
@@erikleypoldt8275 I built a Calais Director replica too, with a 304 injected Auto and excluding the motor and box cost. The conversion was: $350 for Gearbox Crossmember $200 VS Commodore fuel tank and pump $795 for plug and play loom $660 for exhaust manifolds $695 brand new tail shaft Can’t remember Radiator and Fans cost. Was about 40 man hours in labour, not including time to chase the parts.
@@hsvguy These were all parts you sourced? I was also thinking of putting a 304, 308. How much am i looking at for this to be built? Have to buy a new gearbox for it? Thanks for the reply Know anyone in NSW? Near Syd
