    Neat car to start off with mate. If you don't do too much to it your better off buying another VS with a V8 in it already. But there is no fun in that. LOL.

    comming home from my mates place and bunch of guys in a p plate falcon threw a egg at my car whilst i was driving, the egg went over the bonnet, window and the roof, meaning i couldnt see where i was going. when i got home i spent about 2hours washing ad polishing the car. I know what the car looks like, so if i see it the guy better be a quick runner

    He is talking about a V8 not a V6. So in theory you could put a Vn 5 Litre motor into a VS.

    I don't know what the laws are in perth but i do know in some states you can only put another motor in your car if its from the same build date or newer.
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    i'll have to ask around i guess but the conversion might not be happening for a while anyway and by the time i do it vs motors will be fairly cheap

    looking good mate, the clear repeaters suit it nicely. What are your plans with the 5 litre when it happens?

    id just put the money in a exhaust and possibly a shift kit and that would be about it, but as we all know once you start spending theres no stopping

    Looks a lot cleaner mate. If only the lion badges didn't have holes behind them you could take those off too. Oh well, looks good mate nice work.
