After Easternats 2012 [It wasn't an enterant] It shat a thermostat which cooked the motor & blew a head gasket. It was a perfect opportunity to convert the vx to an LS1 6 Speed Manual. 

I bought a hyper yellow ss from the pickles auctions and set to work. 

We got the conversion completed fully in 72 hours. Stripped both cars and put my Equipe back together. 

My car now supports an eye catching Hyper yellow ss interior, complete with cluster & dash, LS1 engine with a 6 Speed manual and 3:45 diff gears. 

A big thanks to Cameron & Greame Jones, Dean Mosert, Pumpa Hayward, James Keddie & Nathan Dilger for all the help and support for getting it done.
