Picked this little beast up 2day. VK which has had an RB30 conversion. Pretty much the only thing left VK-ish is the shell. One of the last owners had a VL and transferred everything over.

The body has a fair bit of rust tho, which is the only downside. But yeah oneday we'll chuck everything into another shell.

I know you bought this car with the conversion already done but do you have any idea how they went about it or what problems they worked through because i wanna put a RB30 in my VB. Also has anyone else done this conversion because a walkthrough or some tips and some pics would be pretty handy. You can e mail them to me at fullysik878@hotmail.com

Not bad - engine bay cleaning in the pipeline?

Thx guys! Yeah I'm pretty good at cleaning up messy engine bays so we'll get it lookin nice!

vb_commie, not sure if u gotta use the VL crossmember, but I know u gotta use the VL steering rack, steering column, and not sure about much else. I don't think it's a hard conversion, even easier if u transplant the dashboard as well lol.

Oneday when the time's right and we've found a clean VK shell we'll put all the gear into it....and plus I think an RB30 conversion is on the cards for my VK wagz (not for a while tho) so I'll take heaps of pics for everyone.
