Looks good dude.
Perfect slate to work some magic on. Do the manual conversion as one of the first mods, you'll thank yourself for it (i know i do every day)

i might be on my L's but its not my first car yeah i realy want the manual conversion, i mean i REALY want it, i love manuals. But there's finding all the bits, putting it all together, finding the time and money to do it and all. i also got told the flywheel on the S1 VN auto's were 6 bolt and the manuals 8 bolt, what i got told offcourse. nice eye's spotting the badge's, the back got resprayed not long ago must off taken em off and put them back on wrong. Speaking of bages got the front one on it now, and the ruber mounts under the grill, wich all wernt there before. (pic from phone)

thats a nice and straight looking VN you got here mate, a very good base to start with. your correct, the s1 engines have a 6bolt flywheel, VN s2 to VSs1 have the 8 bolt. otherwise all the other bits are the same

Yeah those photos are with the ultra lows in. Are you planning on doing anything suspension-wise after the manual conversion?

nothing planed, but it will proberly end up that way... i went to see the car today with my friend. its basical just been ripped apart, just got it to start and ran it up and down a hill. Were now thinking that will buy it for $1000 and split it so its $500 each, swap the trans over and use it as a track car  after he fix's it so its roadworthy, dosent have a cluster in it at the moment and wire's all over the place.
