front end conversion

[moff_man]

any one know whats involved in converting a vr front end to a vy or vz

Ive seen vn's with newer front ends and plenty of vn-vp's with the vr/s front end.

i can get a hold of a bumper but what about the reo and headlights?

VY and VZ are wider than the VR.

VN and VP use the same chassis as the VR/VS so you can bolt the panels on to them with no problems.

It would be a lot of work but anything is possible, the Shape of the rear edge of the guards would not line up with the doors, VN-VS all use the same doors so again no problems doing VS front on a VN.
Would be a good challenge to panel beater to fit a full VY/VZ front end to a VR

VY HSV Clubsport front bumper body kit fit VS VR Holden - eBay Body Kits, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 03-May-10 11:12:43 AEST)

that would be the easiest option, imo if you want your car to look like a vz just buy a vz

if i could afford a vz i would buy a vz but i cant so im stuck with a vr which is a upgrade from a vl that i used to have.

Read the ad again mate, it's a VY bumper made to suit a VR/VS.

yes i know its not what i was looking for, i want the std vy or vz look not a body kit style/hsv style

Then go and buy a VY/VZ.

Not only would it not work, it would be the most hideous conversion.

it has been done on a vn using the later model front bar. i think it is a j/c members car. looks very nice i thinkHolden Commodore VN custom for SALE (eBay item 120555117803 end time Apr-18-10 01:28:23 EST)

wow it can b done lol good find pyton_hunter1 i like the front but not so sure on the back lol

[python_hunter1]

yeah im not to keen on the back end, but the front looks very impresive. there are more pics somewhere on this site.

[moff_man]

thats what im after, i have also seen a black vn/p with the std bar.

i have a wagon so the rear dosnt worry me.

not sure if your interested but got this and its for vr/vs

[moff_man]

yeah nahh if i go that direction i will need the side skirts and such. i can get a vz front bar hopefully but possibly need the lights.

other wise i might go for a calais or ss look but then again there too common.

[5 speed VR]

got a mate who sells vr/vs ss side skirts for wagons/utes that could possibly suit with this bar

[moff_man]

so basically no one here has fitted a vt vy vz front std bar to a vr before. i guess I'm going to have a trial and error
