hey guys, ive been contemplating buying a second car lately to muck around with and having owned vn/vp's in the past wanted to buy a "fixer-upper" project, with the condition that it was a V8.
ive come across this VQ which is really close by and seems to be pretty decent value....so what do you think?
thoughts, comments, advice...all welcome.

well its got a vt motor so thats a good thing. decent price

WOW its got 1 inch wheels haha
Sorry had to say it...
Doesn't look too bad but ay!

[sircruisealotVS]

yeah, i knew someone would comment on the good ol' 1 inch wheel.
it does look pretty good for a 17 year old car, obviously got alot of k's on it though, and onto its second engine by the sounds of it too. i like that its the VT 5L in it, better starting point in my view.
i imagine there will be some things to fix on it mechanically going off the asking price - but im looking to buy a V8 for a bit of a project, so im not affraid to fix some things myself.
basically once i get a second car up and running well it will take over my daily driving duties and my VS stroker will be more of a cruiser for weekends or for drag meets.
any other comments or advice is welcome.

how cheap:O... then you can race them against each other and see which one wins... btw i think your stroker thread is gone from v6 mods, did you ever find out a 0-100 for it?

[sircruisealotVS]

lol, i think i already know who would win...hands down the stroker.
i never have got around to doing either a 0-100 or a 1/4 mile...but that'll change soon once i finish of the driveline and take it out to willowbank.

She looks good pete, would be a nice lil projector.

Least then you have a 6 n a 8 to play with.

And would save alot of kms on the stroker if being put away as a w/e cruzer.

She in alrite nic for the amount of kms.

Suspention would be on its way out if not already fixed.

She would look sweet all done up mafia style.

my thoughts exactly jase
i might see if i can find the time to go have a look at it this weekend - if its still for sale.
up close if might be a p.o.s., but it does look promising.
just a thought... can anyone with a V8 tell me how much id get slogged for rego?

$410.40 for 6 months, $790.20 for 12
