    HSV Avalanche mini build only

    Done a stack of work mostly just maintenance and some preventive maintenance to fix known common faults for a new owner so they can enjoy the car and not just drive it into the ground

    Only 58 of the vz avalanche wagon made so needs to do the rightly.
    I won't sell it until after August as we are using it as a second car

    The Audi is friggen awesome. Gee they are a nice car. Love the suspension on them

    Jobs ticked off

    Full 160000 km service (big one, plugs, coolant, the lot)
    Front and rear lower control arm bushes, roll bar bush
    New strut top mounts
    New rear air shocks ($400 wham)
    Refurb air shock compressor (they are hard to find these days)
    Repaired the air leak on the compressor fitting
    New accessory pulleys x 4
    New water pump and thermostat
    New harmonic balancer
    New front crank seal
    Both side tapper cover gaskets
    Handbrake lever push button replaced
    Sunroof clean drains
    New wiper blades
    Fixed the back seat belts and serviced the front belts (bit slow to retract) replaced Brocken lock.
    Park brake repair on drivers side
    Replaced all the globes all round everywhere front and back

    Next up
    Drivers Side mirror replace (small crack)
    Some minor panel scratches to be fixed by the dint and scratch man.

    Front passenger guard gets brand new paint to fix a deep scratch

    I bought some vz seat perforated leather (hard to find) and will replace the front seat base and foam from wear
    Drivers seat fix the lift button (just needs a spray to fix that common fault)
    replace the bcm relay with that common indicator stays on (not happening but better to do it)

    Polish the kwc intros before sale

    New tyres all round before sale (255 front and 305 rear to fit the big wheels) I thought about selling them separately but too hard being up here. Stock wheels go with the car anyway

    Good clean inside and out

    And that's it unless something else happens but what ever I will fix

    Finally got around to finishing the left over jobs. All jobs are done on the above list so she is smick and like new. Pretty amazing really especially the paint. Dam
    The new seats are awesome and super comfy
    It will be sad to see it go as it drives so nice. I will put it up for sale soon

    No more Holden or hsv in my garage soon. Sad

    Agree. I hope you at least get some return for investment with all the work you have put into it.
