im not sure exactly, but im guessing it wouldnt be very hard to do. you shouldnt have to do much modding.
Do you want to put VK lights, grille etc on too?

ok i can help here - i've done this. To start with, VB guards are differnt. the indicator apature is smaller so you need to source some VH/VK front guards which will bolt straight up to the subframe. The radiator support is the same but the apron is different in VB and VH to the VK. You'll have to get a VK item and after cutting the VB apron off, you'll have to weld the new one on. I used a mig with low voltage and a really small wire. The apron can be bought new and readily aftermarket through any good wrecker.

Lose the chrome trim on the VB bonnet and fill the holes - all good. Next you'll have to source a set of VK bars and VK bumper support brackets that will bolt straight on through the VK apron onto the chassis rail. Both the VK Group3 and Group A kits are attached to the existing stock items after some cutting.

Don't forget the headlights, different shape and I suggest the VK white indicators as apposed to the amber VH units.

I suggest that you go to a body kit specialised panel beater for the fitting of the kit. Home jobs generally turn out bodgy looking due to the lack of experience in the actual cutting of the bars and hiding the attaching bolts and so forth. The rest can be done by yourself. Then its just a matter of the back bar which is easier and and picking the grill you want.

Hope this helps
Good luck

do a google on wreckers through au pages only. You should be able to find one that isn't too far away and you could freight the parts. Most freight companies aren't too steep on their costs.
