    Default Adz's VN 'S' Series 2

    I finally upgraded from my good old VK manual 202 to this 1990 VN 's' Series 2 that I bought off ebay for a good price, but ill let you have a guess how much for.

    Specs are:

    Model: 1990 VN 'S' Series II

    Colour: Mettalic blue (roof slightly faded)

    Engine: 3.8L V6 Motor (stock)

    Kilometres: 290,000

    Exhaust: 2.5" Catback Sports Exhaust system with resonator

    Gearbox: 4 Speed Auto

    Diff: 3.08:1 LSD

    Brakes: Stock

    Suspension: FE2

    Wheels/Tyres: 15" HSV Mag Wheels. Genuine HSV, no idea what model they come from. If anyone knows I'd like to find out.

    Interior: Immaculate 'S' interior except one tiny hole in rear seat

    Stereo: MP3 CD player, 6x9" Sony speakers

    Other Mods: Tinted windows, Alarm/immobiliser, central locking, Sports steering wheel, Reverse parking sensors

    I bought it un-reg and no RWC but all it needed was a new power steering pump as the old one slightly leaked, new tyres and a indicator selector.
    Car runs fine and has awesome power.

    Ive got some big plans for this VN one day its going to be 5L 5speed but for now Ill be working the 6.
    Ive already debadged it and am buffing the roof next week.
    Any ideas/feedback what I can start doing would be great.
    Oh and have some guess's of around the price you would expect to pay for it.

    Yeah she is a very tidy car and is a great project.

    As for the price i was expecting th auction to go for around $2000 but amazingly I won this beauty for just $671
    I couldnt believe it, the whole time I was going to pick it up I was expecting a call saying "Sorry mate i dont want to sell it for that price!" but all went well and now I have the cheapest and newest car I've ever owned.

    Going to get a stage 3 cluster, CAI, K&N Filter and Memcal chip next week. Then I'll save for some extractors, bigger brakes, stage 2 auto, and a cam. Then I'll be thinking about either turbo or supercharged, thats going to be a hard decision.
