    Question VR to VS

    HI
    I have the chance to buy a VR acclaim as a wreck and was wonder how much of it will swap straight into My VS no frills ute
    The acclaim runs just not register and smached windows the parts I am interested in are Power windows, Air bag, extractors,Power steering rack and pump, BCM
    Then is the motor and auto trans worth holding onto for the VS?
    Hope you can help as I need to let the guy know tomorrow

    Thank

    hi mate im not an expert so wouldnt go 100% on what i say but the power windows will work if you get everything to go with it.. extractors wont fit and neither will the power steering pump.. no sure about the rack but i wouldnt.. and also the gearbox will fit if your vs is a series 1 i think anything other they change the computer or something.. dont know if i've been any help but i tried..

    Don't bother with the air bag, it will be like playing with matches. If you're car doesn't have airbags in the first place, it's not worth risking having the bag explode while you install it (plus, the airbag system is quite intricate). Rack and power windows will, can't say much on the BCM though.

    Do I need the BCM to operate the power windoes?
    Will the extractors fit on the VS ?

    the windows can be done pretty simply if u dont mind doing your own wiring, bit of muckaround.
