I recently purchased a repairable ride-off VS 1996/97 Vs Holden Ute. I've completed the body work and paint. The conversion was completed by the previous owner. I believe the ute did not go back through rego since the car was converted from V6 to V8 (NSW Reg). Now the car is here in the A.C.T and i think i'm gonna have some issues with Rego! I have the current documentation for the car including a Rev's check, history of the ute and the V8 motor. The conversion (under the hood etc.) appears to be o'k, however, i'm inquiring about the if i need to change over from the existing V6 instuments in the dash (speedo and fuel etc.) to V8 instruments and, how would i determine the size of the tank from a V6 to a V8 visually? In addition, is it difficult to put in a air con system? It's a povo pack and i would like to put some air in the ute. Above all, the conversion regarding mechanics appears to be in good order. If anyone has any other suggestions regarding things to-do, please let me know.
Cheers
