    Yeah it took us about 12 hours over 3 days from start to finish but we were slow and taking our time.

    its worth it though
    could you put a price list up? i know its would be a bit hard sence you had a vh already but yere it would help me and i sure it would help others in building the dream vc um vh

    also would it work with a vk front? that would be sweet

    I'll do a bit of research into how much wreckers charge for the parts required and post up later on.. I payed $100 for the whole blue car (plus $120 towing) off a mate and the whole red car cost UCWEPN $50 I think (not 100%), it was ok except for the doors.. at the wreckers I know if you get everything you need at once they're likely to give you a discount..

    I've seen VHs turned into VKs and a few members on here have done the conversion (VH - > VK and VK -> VH) so it's definately possible, I know for a fact the headlights/grill/bonnet/panels are meant to be the exact same size as the VH (warning: don't trust this.. research it for yourself!).. I'll do a bit of searching and reply with what I'm able to find.. rear end might be a bit tricky because of the centre garnish where the number plate went

    Yeas VH front panels are the same as VK but I'm not sure about the mounting points for the bumper and grill etc. A friend had a VK with a VH sl/e guard on it so thats a good indication. And also a guy up the street from my parents house had a vb/vc/vh and turned it into a VK and the only way you could tell was that the quarter windows weren't there.
