DCEIVDU's VN possible ex cop car :/

[DCEIVDU]

Hi all, ive been on this forym for a little while now and have already gone through too many cars. Im gonna try and hold onto this one for a while now and bring it back to life. Its a 1989 VN executive v6. I was told its an ex cop car but am unsure. It has very slight cam, lukey exhaust and pod. Also came with 2 18" wheels that were blue. I will post pics of my mods etc as I go. All suggestions and help will be appreciated.

Looks fairly straight. Needs some love tho.
If its a genuine ex cop car, the built plate in the engine bay will say "BT - 1" on it.

Yeah I thought the same. I heard some of them will have 9h1 or bt1. This says neither but I think it might have the engine and trans from a bt1. Putting more pix of progress soon

Update: put sound system in

Put some doof doof makers in along with head unit. JVC multi colour deck with USB, pioneer 150w 6" fronts, US Audio 180w 6" rears, Clarion 500w 12" sub with US audio 330w monoblock amp.

Trans has been reconditioned and smooth as. Engine ticks but goes well

Update: new seats and door trims

Bought a set of vq statesman front and rear seats for 50$ and got some vn calais door trims with vs door pods I think.

Wow, I think I could find a VN at the wreckers in better condition than this.

Door rubbers falling off
The wheels don't match eachother
Rust everywhere
Poor paint
Headunit held in with paper
Speakers just cut into the doors
Tint looks completely stuffed
Dodgy centre console paint job
Headlight & indicators look the condition of a car from the 60's
Fuel flaps a different color
Pinstriping coming off everywhere
Tailight broken
Door trims falling apart
Front brake rotors are stuffed


Fix all of those issues, An then we might be able to suggest some tasteful modifications for your car.

Cheers
Mat

P.S- There is no such thing as a "Slight Cam", Service the car an the lumpyness will go away.

You forgot Handbrake poorly adjusted/possibly not connected.

Update: painted rims, bumpers, rocker covers, debadged and de trimmed

Painted the wheels and bumpers black, did the thermo fan and rocker covers monaro blue (drivers side rocker cover is a c%#t to remove). Also took the badges off all round and removed the side trims.
