The old VN has a few battle scars underneath so to speak - like I've not fixed under the bumper at all - just brushed some colour over it.

But yep love the VN's and for someone with a bad back they are easy to get in & out of and you can see behind you when reversing. (I hate the VZ when it comes to reversing in the dark - just cant see).

I've driven many different cars over the years (dad being a panel beater) and the VN does a very good job for it's age/power.

I still am hunting for one of the first VN's - July or August 88. So I can do a complete rebuild to original spec job with maybe a greenfoam tune:) But thats all.

lol mine is early 88 (august) haha and i want to get rid of it :p but yeh im like in QLD haha.....

but now i have a vs :D

EDIT...actually built on 10/11/88 so not an early one ...sorry

Thanks - in the end I think I'll come out square or close enough.

The best bit is I held out on the first offer. Worth it

The wagon has colour at last.

The clear has gone off a bit and looks flat but should polish up OK.

I get the car back in a day or so if it polishes up good.:)

Yep that it is - the clear coat has turned out flat as a tac. They said it may have reached it's end. Not enough of it left now to worry about.

Next will be the Clubsport 16x7 rims I got for it.:thumbsup:
