I still can't see any pictures. Must be my browser. Haven't been able to post pics for ages. And sometimes the pics people post are just blank grey squares just like what I am seeing now!

Chrome with no rubbers. Stands out the most I reckon. What I went for too. Just don't go colour coded, that will be too much on a green car.

Thanks Gerry, Chrome was what I was thinking, but I'm always second guessing myself.

Its been a little while since i updated the progress.
The green Kermit will be getting an LS2/3 with manual box.
The wheel combo will now be 17x8's and better brakes.
We are moving to a house with a bigger shed, so i expect some quicker progress from now on.

LS3 and manual box purchased today.....yay.
Will pick it up from commwreck at Condell Park next Thursday.
I can't speak highly enough of the helpful service from Glen at Commwreck. Glen is also doing an LS3 into LX and had plenty of helpful info.

Get ready for the fun once complete.
My Hatch was originally to be a stepping stone and move on. After the first drive, im in no hurry to move it on (Gerry keep the next comment to yourself with regards to no hurry!!!

Wow, I can’t believe this build has taken so long.
thought I’d leaned my lesson with the last 10 year build.
ended up going back to a Holden engine.

Thanks Nick,
exhaust next, then interior to go back in, then little things like bumpers, door handles and blackouts.
