Rocket88 Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 1 hour ago, RichardK said: Dibs. Like seriously. My original plan in the 90s was having my Ventora done in purple with purple/white seats, white vinyl top. At the same time I cleared obsolete vauxhall spares FE stock and filled my VX2300 estate with panels - but then my twat of a garage broke my Ventora, lost the chassis rails I'd given them to fit, and I sold my VX (panels included) because I was so thoroughly fucked off with it all. This is my /dream/ spec from the first things seen and I really hope it turns out amazing. Dibs noted! RichardK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket88 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 After a few false starts/changes of mind and general re- fettling, it’s days away from completion. Loads of trick custom stuff, some obvious, some not…… I know some people will hate it, but it’s turned out pretty much as I envisaged, and should still be a driveable, useable “an car” Going from 13” wheels to 16” wheels, and using an auto gearbox with a tall final drive should counter the V8 fuel consumption Dan302, tooSavvy, mk2_craig and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
