$600 VN Berlina Project

[Morton]

Would make a good paddock basher !!

It's way too nice for a paddock basher

Criteria for a paddock basher, any two of the following:

a) at least two bent panels
b) faded paint
c) 300,000km or more on the clock

Morton.. not bagging the Vn but throwing $800 at a $600 car = paddock basher:thumbsup: save the $800 for your next basher... lol... and saying $800 will make it like the day that berlina rolled of the production line says alot about that model....

how did you read that? looks nothing like my regas stivker which is on the rad support i guessed it might have been a gas plate but i guessed wrong.....

If you can't read that you have either a very bad monitor or really should be wearing glasses , I'm old as the hills and that's very readable

yeah the wheels are 14", and yes its a regas aircon sticker. car is also fitted with new rear pedders gas rider shocks and new front tie rods, plus the tranny was only rebuilt 12 months ago. even came with a two year old battery!!!

Nah, throwing $800 at a $600 car = bargain ^_^ I helped a mate fit $500 of new parts and sensors and bushes and whatnot to his $1200 VP Wagon, and it drives like a dream now Reliable, cheap daily.

Sure does - build like a good home-made meat pie. There's the outside bits, and there's the inside bits. So simple. If they still built cars like that today, I'd consider saving up to buy one

i might do a bit today, maybe debadge and give the inside a clean and hunt for the build sheet

 

[Morton]

Don't debadge it ^_^ Leaving it all stocko-standard will give it a better resale price for the average buyer. Well... for me anyway. Makes it look unmolested, and implies an easy life

More pics once it's cleaned up. I love stock-'restoration' projects ^_^
