Green Vb 202

[vb_commie]

This is my first car. Mum and Dad bought for me. It had a reconditioned motor about 2.5 years ago and a 2 1/5" exhaust and came with a complete (almost) recovered VK Calais interior. So over the next year and a half or so me and Dad stripped the inside out and put in the Calais interior and Dad gave the body a full respray. But i never took any progress shots.

Ive replaced the front strut tops last weekend because the other ones where stuffed and i couldnt get it properly wheelaligned with the old ones. Heres a link to some more pics of my car: rock_guy_666 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Looks like a good job on the old VB. - One of the first things I did with my VB was to add the extra 2 gauges and paint the silver cluster cover flat black. Hated the bright silver bit.

thats a mint vb you got there good work! :thumbsup: leave it how it is.

 

[Jo3_Blo]

Yeah, looks mint. Love it.

One thing, any issues trying to get a RW/Rego with a red motor in it? I thought older motors were illegal on newer cars?

 

[vb_commie]

I reckon VBs came with red 202s they just have to have a polution bottle conected and ive registered it once but have never looked into a RWC

Red motors are standard in VB commodores, they changed to blue motors in the VC, and black motors in the VK.

p.s Lovely car, i have a VC SL/e V8... Good to see there are still good Vb-vk cars out there.
