This week on part 3 on the VK Group A replica fire damaged rebuild we install most of the dash and wiring we reinstall most of the engine bay parts the install the k member and struts and more!! Please like and subscribe!!!
Enjoying this build series, great content! On the headlights I’d keep them all original, the aftermarket’s have leaked water every time in my experience. With the headlight clips I had the same issue, mine were rusty and couldn’t buy new. I just wire wheeled them and repainted silver and they look good now.
Looking good brother the owner should be thankful your rebuilding that car she's going to be like new again. Keep up the great work see you on the next one👍🏻
The clips on the head lights from factory they are silver remove the clips clean them up and paint them silver don’t replace the head light body with the Chinese junk use the original ones the look better and fit better
The housing look a little Beatin though about the clips and painting them silver but they look just like that , painted I know it’s not 💯 accurate but if I try to get it close would look nicer
You could get the clips zinc plated if it wasn't for the 40 year old housings, the problem with the aftermarket housings from what my dads old neighbour who was a panel beaters & spray painter over 20 years ago is that their quality wasn't as good as the headlights that Holden made. I'm speaking about the Commodores in general,not just the VK headlights, at the time were were discussing my VL Commodore which still has the OEM headlights which I fitted brand new from Holden over 20 years ago. I know that I ordered a Taiwanese 3D printed tail lights for my VY SS Commodore last year which I was happy with !
