    Default Waynes 1990 vn and 1993 vp

    Hey everyone here's my 1990 vn

    There's a bit of a storey about this car i bought it about 5 years ago but sold it just over a year ago and well it went up for sale the other day so i went out and put a deposit on it again should be picking it up in the next 2 weeks. am a bit disappointed as the car is now in a pretty bad state but i put to much time into the car to let it stay like that


    When i bought it it was 100% stock auto vn v6 well did some stupid things and lost my licence so while i had no licence i fitted slotterd rotors 17s lowered it body kitted it and of course chuck a manual set up in exhaust cold air induction any way here's how it looked in the end.





    Any way now it needs new suspension drive train work my stato interior has been removed same as the side skirts (i keeped the front bar and rims) and needs new sterio again.

    any way my plans are for when i get it back is bring it home stick it in the shed full strip down and rebuild respray fix every little imperfection. get a vs to vy super 6 for it fit vs front end bolt the manual box to the l67 try find a set of coil overs vp gts sides and rear to the vn aero front and group A grill.

    Some may think I'm stupid but this car was my pride and joy and made me feel sick seeing it in its current state. will get a new set of pics once i get the car back but its going under a full rebuild to be driven to Melbourne next year.
