check it out, got my new car today, VP stationwagon for $500

ive been looking for another wagon, because the vn has dints on the drivers side on the doors and rear quarter, its been in 2 front end accidents that i know of (one my own fault, damn trees jumping out on me ) so i thought it time for a straight car before i do anything with it bodywise.

dad found this thing sitting alone beside a dealership in leongatha while doing a delivery.

it was knee high in grass and looking rather sad.

they offered us 800 depending on what the gearbox was like, they think its slipping.

luckily, they couldnt find the keys for 2 weeks, and gave up, $500 all ours, just come break into it and take it away.

its all legit too for those that are skeptical, i'll be trying to get a new key from holden soon and doing a revs check to be doubly sure.

it started first go with a new battery, got it on the trailer and took it home. we were lucky enough for the steering lock not to be on, so were able to steer it and didnt have to grind of the ignition.

its got 380,000 odd ks on the clock, but the motor looks like its been serviced regularly and id say will still be going strong when i swap it for a worked motor which ill eventually get done

ok, specs time

1992 VP wagon (needs service)
3.8ltr v6
factory(i assume) central locking ncluding tailgate(lucky, coz got no key for it either)
4spd auto which looks like it will just need a service
all straight panels mins front left guard, rear bar and tailgate
electric mirrors
electric antenna
slotted front rotors
seats are good
needs new tyres (read 18" mags)
needs new carpet
rooflining needs reglueing



so, all in all im pretty happy with it, great score for what its got

keep an eye on this page, as everything gets swapped over from LOWAGZ v1.0 and it gets a new lick of paint and some other goodies.

Looks pretty damn good Troy! What exactly do you plan to do with it?

[hakhawk]

now thats just a secret

prolly wont see many pics til its done, then ill bombard with the pics.

[Matt_vp]

nice score, i picked up a vp belina in simular condition for $250 last week, just needs new tyres for roadworthy.

[Burt_vn]

nice mate, looks similar to my wagon when i first got it.
Can't wait to see what you do with it.
heres a pic of my wagon before i messed with it.
and my sig for how she looks now

[94vrexec]

looks like it going to be great! is that 3 wagons you own now??!! are you going to keep ur old lowagz or sell it? got any extra mods planned for it aswell as all lowagz gear?

[hakhawk]

94vrexec, yep, 3 wagons now. dads keeping old lowagz to drive around, albeit in stock form when im thru stripping it. any extra mods are a secret til done

burt_vn, love ur car, think ive seen it on sc

and matt_vp, damn you, all the cheap wagons seem to be up in qld atm

tho i cant complain, 3 wagons for a total of $1150 isnt bad. (lowagz v1 $500, project $150, lowagz v2 $500)

[Burt_vn]

hehe, yeah all the cheap wagons are up here...we sold our 5.0ltr one for 2k
we only payed $500 for it though. needed some body work etc.. we sold it to a guy that just wanted the engine. but yeah nah, never put my car on SC...been on BC before. but i think ive fallen in love with this forum. For once a forum full of commodore knowledge and respect

[hakhawk]

ahh, just looked again, one on sc has a vz front end.

same colour tho theres a few in that blue now

sending you a pm mate, check it in a few

[94vrexec]

**** thats an awsome price. lowagz looks like it would be worth a heap more than that as it is.

[hakhawk]

yeh, i bet it would, but id liek to keep it, but with the project already, i cant afford to, and dad needs a work car, so he gets lowagz

[CALAIS 6]

awesome dude cant wait too see what u make off this one the silver one looks so nice too

[Matt_vp]

matt_vp, damn you, all the cheap wagons seem to be up in qld atm

nah the belina isnt a wagon, but it will become the family car so i can use the wagon for playing and driving to work, should have my smaller pully finished next week, then i just need to fit the cooler get some injectors and a eprom burner. and i've been looking at your touch screen and thinking of doing something simular.
Matt

[hakhawk]

ahh, ok. stil cheap tho.

lol, the touch screen rocks, do it!!

[PaRaDoX]

im lovin the sun reflector on low wags!!!

[1991_Vn2nV]

[VN_Luke]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeee!!!

will be good to see this progress! 500 bux! not bad!

[pro_gmh]

that nudge bar is really doin for me , lookin forward to it.

[VRSS]

looks like a good project, what colour are you planning on painting it?

[hakhawk]

cant say yet, i have chosen it, but its part of the secret aswell

[hakhawk]

just scored some sideskirts on ebay for it. and what i want for front n rear is gonna cost me $440 posted.

also got some new wheels aswell.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Doesnt look like much now, but cant wait to see it in progress..... and the suspense is killing everyone, cause you aint sayin nothin lol

[hakhawk]

muwahahahahaha, just the way i want it.

i will say this:

got brand new ignition barrel/lock and tailgate lock today, with matching keys

might grab a full metal jacket for it oneday too

(hint, that says something about something ill be doing as a mod, well doesnt really say, but if you think about whats missing!!)

[Matt_vp]

will look nice with shaved doors. u should do the rear aswell, put the number plate on the rear bar and have a boot release setup, thats what i was gonna try anyway.
