should of jst got a vy ss, gonna cost more to build ur car like that then jst buy one

[frankenstein]

well funny thing is every one says that but its actually costing me less so far where it is owes me $5000 and have everything needed to finish it and paint is costing me $5500 and its gonna be better than a vy ss. plus at the end of the day I'm a type of person who builds not buys not doing it for the money factor just for the fun factor of doing it.

That VT/VY looks like a beast, I love it

[ewhiss1]

Definantly be keen to see this beast up and running, Looks awesome even at this stage, Keep the pics comming

[MR_VX]

sorry not a fan on the vt/vy thing.

[frankenstein]

Thanks everyone pictures will be comeing as more gets done currently its re striped down that was just test fitting etc hoping to get the engine in over the next few weeks and get the interior back in so i can take it for its test run. MR_VX not everyone's taste as i said further up doing it for a bit of fun and for my self.

Not at the moment mate but once the 20s are back on might be there not in the best nic just a fair bit of gravel rash from being on a country car but there only temp rims till i get the money for the coil overs. amd thanks steve caitn wait to get it on the road.

[Krisp]

*Throws up* at that VT/VY cut.... Why cross breed the 2, looks fugly. First VT looks nice, but please don't destroy that second VT anymore then what it is. Turn it into a VT SS if anything, then it will look hot

sorry but how is it destroyed the panels bolt strait on and welded strait on at the rear why turn it into something thats so common. shit every day at least 20 vtss drive past my house always seeing them around and at the end why have a vt ss when i already have a vnss i wanted something custom hence why i bought it as a shell from the person who did the panel conversion. and why would i want to go through the trouble of removing vy panels to put vt panels back on seems stupid to me and look hot well i already have a vt s which has all the same kit etc as a ss that looks nice dont need 2 cars that look the same as said being done for something different that when its done no one will be able to pick that its a vt except for the dash. and as also said doing it for my self no one else so if you dont like it dont bother waisting saying you dont can comment on one and not the other as both will be geting updated when i have done more on them.

[2DIE]

I think the VT/VY looks awesome, throw in some windows and drive line and I would drive it like that

[Zeussy]

If you throw a set of VY/VZ door mirrors on it, its pretty much a VY/VZ. Nothing left of the VT (visually - exterior)

I'm with 2DIE, I don't mind driving around in a sketchy/patchy car, that way you're not afraid if anyone is going to dent it, run into it, etc...
Plus, if you have some imagination, you can see "what it could be.." lol

Anyway, cars look the goods, keep up with the progress of the project Pics galore!

[frankenstein]

Thanks guys i was thinking the vy/vz mirrors but I'm not sure still haven't decided fully on the paint at the moment its between vk group a blue and yellow with black high lights

[1dvsbstd]

I reckon u should put on unique mirrors?
vz look too much like a vz
vt mirrors would definally make it look unique even mayb chrome ones?
cheers

[frankenstein]

not a huge fan of chrome on my cars ill be looking into mirrors at a later date at the moment im focusing on geting the driveline in.

[carra909]

good on ya for taking on that project, whats your plans for interior?

ive always found vt/vx interior abit boring compared to vy, it does fit right in part from getting the cluter to work, but that should be more fun for you to work on getting right.

goodluck with it

[frankenstein]

interior not 100 % sure yet but the vt dash is staying dont like the 3 big knobs on the vy on wards dash but interior is striped out at the moment so i can pull the bcm etc out for the gen 3 conversion.

[2DIE]

I prefer the VT dash too, I think some VX models come out with a black interior (door trims, pillar trims ect). That would be nice if you could find the parts cheap.

Any idea what paint you will go with when you are done? Id keep the VT mirrors but if you think it doesnt look right then change them over.
