Rolling VZ Shell from holden

[VZequipe]

Now I'm not sure if its possible, I'm sure it is. Anyway, I was just wondering if it is possible to buy a rolling VZ WAGON shell from holden and how much if anyone would have a rough estimate figure? By shell i mean body, stock rims and tyres, suspension and steering. basically everything except engine and gearbox.

Secondly, if you can buy this shell I'm wondering if you can add extras to it? i.e. sunroof/leather trimming? or is this getting into the ridiculous $$ range now?

Just curious, Thanks!

Considering the VZ model line was finished in 2007 approx. I think you're out of luck mate.

[dijm8]

your about 5 years late buddy, and even then they would say no

[VZequipe]

Yeah i thought that might be the case, thats ok i saw someone post saying you could do it with a vy shell just the other day, so im not sure what they were saying

Wreckers have plenty ready to sell you cheaper than Holden - motor and grearbox already removed.

[VZequipe]

Yep thats the next place i was going to go, thanks everyone!

What are you planning to do out of interest?

[VZequipe]

Ah dreams and hope man, nothing more. Just thinking really. I'm on my P's at the moment (In qld) so cant really do what i was planning for a few years yet, but i was thinking of getting a vz wagon body, and dropping a ls1 or ls3 into it with a 6 speed manual. though its just a dream at the moment, in 6 months if anythings going to happen i should start gathering parts and bits.

Though at the moment im driving a VZ Equpie '05 Sedan so that is good enough for a few years yet

Sounds like a good project man, maybe look For a Vz v6 wagon that's blown up, might get it cheap, Drop a crate motor in it? Another way might be get a Get a vt wagon that's been in a small front ender, and buy a Vz Ss that's been hit up the arse, change all the front end over and have all the gear for a motor conversion? Just a few ideas man.

[VZequipe]

Yeah thats what I was just thinking now, the whole blown up v6 idea. they would be cheap and i think i would be able to find one in decent condition so i might be going down that road and yeah, certainly a crate motor.

I dont think i will have enough garage space for 2 shells and the current vz, but all ideas help

I dream of getting my calais rear ended so I can transfer most of it to a wagon, I just love them .

[HSV5L]

Even a vz ex taxi would make a decent project.

[VZequipe]

@50LTRv8, Thats one expensive exercise for the Calais. Though wagons are nice

And @CLUBSPORT#325, They would! Never though about an old taxi actually, had skipped my mind, however i think they would be quite cheap? though they would have done a lont of km's...
