Green Vb 202

[vb_commie]

This is my first car. Mum and Dad bought for me. It had a reconditioned motor about 2.5 years ago and a 2 1/5" exhaust and came with a complete (almost) recovered VK Calais interior. So over the next year and a half or so me and Dad stripped the inside out and put in the Calais interior and Dad gave the body a full respray. But i never took any progress shots.

nice lookin vb mate, just need some nice rims to fill the guards now

[vb_commie]

Ive replaced the front strut tops last weekend because the other ones where stuffed and i couldnt get it properly wheelaligned with the old ones. Heres a link to some more pics of my car: rock_guy_666 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Looks like a good job on the old VB. - One of the first things I did with my VB was to add the extra 2 gauges and paint the silver cluster cover flat black. Hated the bright silver bit.

thats a mint vb you got there good work! leave it how it is.

[Jo3_Blo]

Yeah, looks mint. Love it.

One thing, any issues trying to get a RW/Rego with a red motor in it? I thought older motors were illegal on newer cars?

[vb_commie]

I reckon VBs came with red 202s they just have to have a polution bottle conected and ive registered it once but have never looked into a RWC

[Orloxsis]

Red motors are standard in VB commodores, they changed to blue motors in the VC, and black motors in the VK.

p.s Lovely car, i have a VC SL/e V8... Good to see there are still good Vb-vk cars out there.

[excalibur]

very nice vb you there mate take good care of it

[vb_commie]

Thanks guys its good to see some people actually still like early model commodores all my mates reckon i sould get a R31 Nissan Skyline or something like that and i was considering getting one of those but i eventualy decided against it because of all the work i put into it.

Also do any of you guys know of any cheap or 2nd hand LPG systems for my car in SA because i dont really wana have to fork out up to 60-80 buxs a week for petrol

Cheers vb_commie

Gas is for BBQs

Car looks tuff as it is. Maybe add some SL/E bumber sides, VK front indicators, and VL Mirrors.



Also for the other guys, SA doesn't need RWC, so it wouldn't matter about the motor.

[SL/ENUT]

VK front indicators won't fit the standard VB headlights Stealthy, unless you change the whole front end to a VH.

[STEALTHY™]

Oh ohk, i've heard of people with VHs doing it, i thought the headlights were the same VB-VK.

Are they angled differently or something?
