G'day all, Delco build in progress, thought I'd share with you all the platform for the Delco install.. This one has a genuine 203,000km on the clock and used to be the Warnambool "Pub Runner" back in the day at the Criterion. The engine combo for the delco install is a genuine VT HSV Clubsport 195i "VN" stamped sequential 304. The engine is as factory intended other than a 90mm throttle body with a few mechanical upgrades internally to reduce friction coefficient. Love steering this old banger, still drives fantastic too.. Build in progress, stay Tuned! Picture here is the vehicle today.. Conversion pics will be posted as I progress.. Cheers!

Thanks VTXU8, managed to secure some new plates for it, (typical over excited, job not even done, knob decision) lol .. hope now for awesome help from this forum to get this conversion done and get out there for some meet and greets, coupled with quality shenanigans-aplenty and tons of driving!
