    Default first car and first VN.

    hey hows it going everyone. just picked myself up my actual first car after borrowing of family for a while. was told it was a berlina even though it had executive badging, theres a few differences under the hood as well but you'll see those in the pictures.

    its the typical 3.8 v6, grey in colour aircon all radio, blown dash speakers all the stock things.



    and the rust looking debry on the inside of the engine bay is actually red earth. i will be giving it a bath tomorrow only picked it up 2 a day ago.

    Donsn't look like a bad car, it seems relatively unmolested which is a great thing.

    the only problem is there is a slight leak from on of the radiator hoses, i think its one towards the back of the motor but not sure how to get at it.

    its a s1 with a s2 radiator.
    Also tighten ur throttle cable ontop of ur throttle body, it looks a bit loose.
    Im 90% sure its an executive not a berlina cause of the badges and the bumpers
    Great start btw how much did it set u back
    Wrecking VL factory V8 only a few bits left still have full dash/crash pad
    and have a vk 202 motor and 5 speed Make an offer want it gone

    thanks didn't think of the throttle cable. it set me back a cool $500. set of new tyres would probably pass regeistration. but ill spend a bit of cash on her before that.
