    Default Noob with couple Q's.

    Hi all, just bought a '93 VR ute, 3.8, 5spd, 3 seater. I'm pretty sure this thing is the "budget pack" model lol.

    I've got a couple questions.

    Can i take out the passenger seat and half thing and replace with a sedan seat from a VN-VP-VR-VS, are the holes already there to bolt in a single seat?

    Will a center console from a sedan fit once i fit a sedan pass seat?

    How hard is it to move the handbrake from beside drivers seat to the center console?

    My gauge cluster only has 'Fuel-Speedo-Temp' gauges, can i change it to one that has 'Rev-Speedo-Fuel/Temp' without a lot of wireing hassle.

    TIA guys.



    PS: This is my 3rd Commodore but my 1st VR.

    My old VN



    My current ride, BMW

    The seats are straight swap over I believe, But you will need a mod plate.

    Swapping the handbrake set over can be done but Its a pain, do a search I'm pretty sure there has been write ups on here before.

    Dash cluster isn't to difficult, a lot of people do it, pretty sure there is a guide around.

    Easiest way to do the conversion is to buy a wreck and swap all the bits over
