    Default Vp V8 Wagon

    I brought this car about 2 weeks ago after much debate about doing up a vl sedan i had and intended to spent $$$ i decided to get rid of the vl and buy this vp because it was pretty clean and only had 126000km's on it and i thought it was pretty rare having a 5 litre. it goes well although in need of a tune and leads and spark plugs change..... does like chewing them rare tires though... although thats what i wanted. later on i'll get it resprayed and hopefully give the motor a few more kws by getting a 355 stroker. although i'm happy with it at the moment. what do you guy/girls think?

    Early VP Berlina's still had just front Power windows. Only after it was 'all 4' as standard.

    Real cars don't power the front wheels, they lift them

    UPDATE:: transmission has had a full rebuilt with a stage 2 shift kit and corvette servo and bigger boost valve... shifts hard like a mofo now.. also got pacemaker extractors fitted with a hi flo cat and 2 1/2 inch system sounds sweet!... greenfoam is sending me a couple of chips to test out so it will be interesting to see how it goes
