    Default Mix and Match??

    hey guys i got a 91 VN executive,im thinking of picking up a cheap VR berlina,no rego,interior is immaculate apart from like 1 tear in passenger seat,was thinking of mixing and matching parts out of the VN and VR to make one car,suggestions? should i take stuff from the VR into the VN? or should i sell the VN and keep a few pieces for the VR? was there anything in the VN better than the VR?

    VN/VP dashboards and door trims are 1000% better than the VR/VS stuff. So forget about that. Seats are a straight swap and a good upgrade. Seatbelts will swap over too. Maybe the carpet and roof lining are good too?

    Full interior swap can sooooo be done in one day

    VN interior is sexiest EVER. Change nothing to VR/VS spec failure

    indicator switch / grab handles / door pods / window winders if u have any / parcel shelf will leave a small gap between rear window an back of parcel shelf though not noticeable if u have tinted windows and brake light needs modifying to sit right / roof lining need to cut hole for the vn rear view not hard / and pretty much any thing else that fits an looks better as above vr front end conversion i personaly would keep the vn if its in good condition and keep all the vr parts that are worth keeping an sell what u dont need

    I choose to reject your reality, and substitute it with my own.

    VS interiors are manky, period. Compare:

    Nice to see you picked a VR/VS Acclaim (with fully sick bogan upgrades) to a VN Statesman

    Only thing I like out of VN/VP interiors compared to the VR/VS was the seats out my VP Calais. Ahhhh, I miss my VP Calais.
    Rap around door trims look nicer in my opinion and the VN/VP Calais dashes always remind me of the XF Fairmont Ghia dashes (with the million buttons).
