How hard can it be?
Very nice mate, future mods sound good. Just make sure you get rid of that fugly black strip down the side :P
If you don't mind my asking, what'd set you back?
The New Ride - The Class 2 Shuttle Craft (VE)
I'll be he comes to get you, some shopping trolley kind of thing, that gets you where your going nice and slow... Well off you go that's fine, the pleasure's all mine.
When I light the nitro on my HQ 454 Monroe!
Haha yeah i think that might come off pretty soon, maybe after we've finished fixing a few things, tends to protect the door when people fly the door open into a wall.
Around about $6000 it set me back
How hard can it be?
lol, yeah good point :P
6 grand's not bad, and anything under 200,000km is excellent with a car this old.

"5.7L Conversion when off p's"
I hope you know what you talking about :-S
Vtss - I do know what I'm into. I'm not insisting the day I'm off my ps I will chuck a 5.7 in. But it will be a project. I just like the appeal of a v8 wagon. Most of my mates and my old man are mechanics or auto engineers so I'll be well backed even if it takes me 6 months it will be a learning experience which is all I want
Cheers mike. I'm generally pretty happy with it
How hard can it be?
Just be careful with the V8, in a wagon you basically have two options: Oversteer and "that tree came out of nowhere".
How long till you're off you P's? Cause if you start this project before me you can let me know if I should be going for a Super6 instead.

Haha yeah the other option is a super6/ TT ecotec setup, however i just like the appeal of an 8 considering i drove nothing but Gen3s on my learners.
Im not off my P's for another 18-24 months due to new laws saying if you lose your license for 1 month they add another 6 on plus however long you lost your license.
Car will be a daily cruiser i actually already have another car waiting for when i get my degree/full license which is a toy car
