So, as some of you know, I purchased Saint.V8's L322 and have been doing some work to bring it up to snuff. As all my cars get female names starting with the same letter as the model, and because he spent so much time working on her, I decided to name this one St Rachel.
So far she has had:
On order:
Need to order:
I also need to figure out the heating system as it blows very hot on a hot day, and very cold on a cold day, irrelevant of what settings have been chosen.
Future things:
Does anyone know if the first aid box under the passenger seat fits under the drivers seat too? I'm nowhere near her at the moment to check it myself. I want somewhere to store all my "going-to-France" kit so if it fits, I'll order another box.
On my travels through the interwebs I saw a photo of a leather-clad centre console (the bit between the seats with the gearstick and ignition). Unfortunately I didn't save it and I can not find it either. Does anyone know if this was an option in any particular model, or was it more likely a custom job?
Far future things:
Sorry Saint, I really don't like those bullbars! Once the new body kit is on, those will go up for sale with the lightguards too.
So far she has had:
- Complete new braking system
- New hubs on all 4 wheels (only needed one but I thought, why not?!)
- New tyres on all 4 wheels
- New gearbox and torque convertor
- New drivers seat valance
- Complete service
- LPG service, remap and filler cap
- Front passenger drink holder
On order:
- Complete new exhaust and cats
- 2010 body kit
- New headlights and tail lights
- New badges and lettering
- Replacement door cards
- Replacement dash panel
- Replacement passenger wing mirror
Need to order:
- CD autochanger
- Flip keys
- Rear wiper arm and motor
- New parking sensors (ar*ehole neighbours have backed into the front and back - quite deliberately)
- Front and rear cameras
- Interior rear pillar trim both sides (damaged it transporting some chairs...)
- Replacement centre console air vent as mine is loose on the bottom
I also need to figure out the heating system as it blows very hot on a hot day, and very cold on a cold day, irrelevant of what settings have been chosen.
Future things:
- Can I upgrade the stereo to the later touchscreen model, and if so, does it have an aux input?
- Change the trim panels as the foundry grey is peeling. I know a place that can hydro-dip them.

- Vinyl wrap in dark matte grey
