    Default turning a vc commodore to a vk lookalike

    hey guys my son and i are working on his vc commodore and when we brought it, it already had the vk bumper and tail lights.We brought a vh commie for the front guards and bonnet and when we went to put the vh guards on the vc commodore but discoverd that where the headlights sit are different to the vh commie.So my question is can we still turn the car into a vk with a little bit of cutting or is there another way to do it.
    All response in regards to this project will help heaps thanks.

    Thats it mate, all the same. There is a thread here somewhere on the VB into a VH conversion. I'll have to search it for you.
    EDIT
    Lots of VB - VK questions (sorry guys lol) HAve a read though that, it will help.

    My ex had a VB with a VH front end on it. The only problem that had was the bonnet was a little hard to open. Whether the clowns that did the conversion, didn't line it up right, or whether there needs to be some sort of modification, I don't know....

    Just something to keep in mind.

    I believe you do need to do some slight cutting to fit the bigger lights! the reason I say this is because I've seen and read a how-to on the net before, unless that was keeping the VB bits and just going to the bigger lights, I can't remember perfectly. Also 1vngal, the bonnets are a bit different
