    Default What do i do with this VH?

    I just got this girl back, i sold it months ago to a mate for $300 but now they are getting a new car and this was gonna go to the wreckers so i took it back. But ive got my VR and i dunno what to do with this old girl. Its fully running and goes great, paint on the roof is farked and little rust spots here and there but thats it. Gorgeous green interior. its a 202 3 speed auto VH SLX

    I would've taken it of your hands gladly, i need a few spare parts. It's good to have a second VH just in case the good one dies or is damaged. I say sell it on eBay. Some one will pay descent money for it.

    Apart from being an auto is identical to the car I learned to drive in. If I had the room to store it, I'd buy it off you. But if you have somewhere to keep it undercover it would be a wise move to keep it yourself. I will post a video in here later that will make you want to keep it .

    Otherwise hold onto it for a little while untill you find someone that is legit and willing to look after it or has the money to do something fantasic with it

    You can do alot of things to a VR but you can never make it as cool as a VB-VH, can be debatable which model this one is but either way it's good

    Pity you don't live in Victoria, it would make a good track car for someone. They are a bit old to be driving around the street in daily these days

    what you could do is clean it up and then store it in the shed the price is starting to go up on them now so very soon they will be worth a mint

    sell it to someone who can restore it as original as possible. something like that is too good to wreck and to good to slap on some interceptor rims and stuff in a V8 lol

    Do you still have this car?
    I just crashed my car which is almost exactly the same and I need some parts, a whole car would be useful for spares.

    To old to be a daily?!?! No way! Its only too old to be a daily if its a got a beam front axle. Even then its not so bad. It makes me sad that there are so few of the early girls on the road these days.
