Got round to finishing off the interior swap this morning. The last job was the rear door cards.
This job was not straight forward as the VX door cards are considerably different to the GX ones as are the door handles and the window switches. As I'd already had 2 goes at this only to find things were different and not interchangeable I was now confident I had everything as I'd acquired the door looms and door handles as well. All went well, swapping the looms in the doors as the plugs to the electric windows are completely different and moving the door pull screw locators to a different location so they would locate the VX door pulls.
If this sounds a faff its nothing compared to the job of converting the bodyshell which has a split rear seat to accept a bench seat. I found that only one captive nut on the bodyshell ( each side) was relevant to the bench seat and had to reverse engineer the other six captive nuts into the bodyshell to fasten it down as the factory would have done on the VX shell. The four to the rear were placed somewhere above the rear shocker top mount so difficult but not impossible to access.
Anyway got the captive nuts welded in place ( from the top) and the seat was installed.

Its looking smart in there now. Its become a bit of a project now to continually improve it and its gone past the point where I'd get my money back but that won't stop me getting it as good as I can.
Next job, the "D" light on the autobox display.
