VP STATO WAGS 5L 5SPEED
Hey Guys just thought I'd post-up my project. It's a work in progress and has come to a halt for a couple of weeks until I can track down a bell-housing. It's a black 91 VN wagon with a Stato front-end & interior.
It has a 304(5L) in it presently with 121,000km and a reco 5speed gearbox which hasn't been put in yet as I'm still waiting for the bell-housing to rock-up. Sits on super-lows all round and has darkest legal tint :) it is getting a respray in high gloss black in the near future as the paint on it's in shocking condition. It's a bit rough at the moment but some time, $$$ and a truckload of elbow grease will fix that. Will keep you's posted on any updates. Here's a few pic's of Gonzo :)

This is what the Stato wheel looks like. I just found out that the input shaft is the longer v6 one also so looks like I'm going to have to hunt down the 1.5" shorter v8 input shaft.
