    Default VG project

    Hey guys i bough a VG ute a few months back and i have finally started working on it when i got it it had been sitting for 2 years the handbreak was stuck on it had flat tyres a broken 1/4 window the dash was pulled apart n shit everywere and the bumper was in the back and it also had 2 seats and needed new front struts.
    when i got it i cleaned it up removed the broken window tryed to put the dash back together broken peace's everywere lol fixed the handbreak lol

    so far i have
    .bought new front strut rubbers
    .new a/c commpressor
    .bench seat (was a mission to find)
    .new dash pieaces was hard to find to lol
    .bough a new radiator
    .new light switch
    .bumper clips still need one lol
    .new tail gate

    my plan is to get it back to scratch stock basicly n mod the motor
    wide throttle body
    cold air

    thats about all i can think of right now lol havent looked into that side much

    here are some pics

    450 is a bargain, the super 6 is pretty good but you can't beat the low end toque and the grumble of the 304
