    Good luck with starting over again, not many nice looking VN's around these days.

    Dude, have a talk to the commodore frenzy blokes in bayswater/boronia, east of melb anyway, they'll find you a nice straight shell for a song. Saw a genuine SS VS sold out of there a few weeks ago for about 3500...you aren't going to pay much for a non runner with a straight body.
    Talk to Aaron or Shane on 97298126
    They've just found me an LSD rear end for my mint VP Berlina, dropping it in soon, about $700 including labour, they're good guys.
