Maccas VX HSV GTS

[whitels1ss]

I bought it off the father in law at a good price so i said i would sought the roadworthy, he has always look after it really well and to drive there were no vibrations or anything, so when they found this i was surprised so getting it sorted.

Plenty of workshops use their roadworthy license to create extra income
it's not often they just pass first time without finding a couple of jobs for themselves to make a little extra money from.

Pretty easy to check if the donut is stuffed. I was replacing the tailshaft donut on my H+C VT2 SS probably every couple of years, they don't last long.

Well the code is k025 as per the compliance plate

[white lie]

That's Phantom, not Panther. I think it's a better colour anyway, the green mica comes out in the sunlight rather than being all black

[Maccas]

Yeah i had Panther Mica in my VS ute, to which it had no green in it! But it was a rare VS SS III

[Maccas]

Well i finally got around to detailing the GTS and am very happy with the results considering where the car started.









Few things left to tidy up now:
- Engine bay detail
- Some stitching in the drivers seat
- Map pocket on the passenger drivers seat
- Front bar realigned
- Probably putting a Duspeed OTR on it too.

Cheers

The VX GTS looked a way nicer car than the earlier VT2 GTS,

[Maccas]

Well its happened the good old C4B valve springs have broken in the GTS. Started the car after work tuesday was rough as, changed plugs and leads still shit house. So off came the valve covers to find 2 broken springs. Time for the fun to begin. Going to be doing cam and heads and make the GTS really come alive.

Cheers Maccas

Bugger...but at least you caught it relatively early. Hopefully there isn't too much damage inside but they have been known to be somewhat of a 'silent assassin'

Not good to hear. How many kms on the clock ? Good luck with the upgrades...

[Maccas]

Engine was originally rebuilt by Hsv at 60XXXkms and has now done 128xxxkms. Not ideal but lucky it was when out in the middle of no where
