Well, this took abit of thinking but i finally decided... im getting a new car!
But its not that simple.
I love my VN, its a nice car (see pics) but i HATE the issues with body + paintwork. When i bought the car origninally, it was an ex-hail damaged car. New bonnet, doors, boot and bogged to the hills. I didn't know this until recently when in the heat. My roof now has more crows feat than.... well ive never ever seen anything this bad before nad my rear quater has split complety... its a very horrible sight. Alone with all this, there is enough shades of red on this thing to make "roxannes" lips jelous... it aint good.
But the small issue of a nice engine with low kays, brand new suspension throughout with all new nolathane bushings and strut brace. 18" ANZ rims and a stero to be proud of... plus the interior and stuff.... i didn't want to just get a new car, too much work... soo i dedided that id just give my car a new lease on life.
I have brought a shell, its from a VP SII and it is in really good nick! Straight as ryan renalds and it has the glassy-est paint job i have ever seen. Along wiht a few other bennifits, i decided that i was gonna turn the VN into a VP.. besides, i like VPs better... maybe less stigma or something. Anyway... so i thought that i would post up some pics of the shell, my car and the fist photos of my car when i bought it, just for some laughs!
The plan is to swap it all over and scrap the rest. Should have some parts up for graps when i get round do doing this aswell. will post up some questions i have when i get round to it.
I would really only like constructive advice or support here as its stressful enough.. dont like it then dont say nothing, please.. its my baby!
P.S. Anyone thats wants to give me a hand when i get round to doing this, plan to knock it over in 4 days straight, i need you! SE Burbs Vic.
Stay Tuned!
