I got sick of my VN Berlina v8, cause it was old, needed paint and was **** for towing my track car. Plus i wanted to go back into the VR VS shape. Started looking and found this shitta, for $2k i got what i paid for! Neglected, dirty, leaking, scratched, belt slap and the rest.. But i saw potential so i bought it. needed heaps of work, and still does... but i absolutely love it!
The engine in my VN has had some special treatment (not by me lol), so that engine was to be transferred into the VR SS.
The VR was running so the plan was to sit both cars (My VN v8 manual, and the VR SS auto) side by side and do a running gear swap. SO pulled each engine out and did gaskets throughout and welch plugs on both. Had to source a VN v8 auto for the engine going into the VN, and obviously the engine and trans FROM the VN went straight into the VR SS. Confusing, i know
So thats pretty much where im at right now. The plan was to daily this b!tch, and sell off the VN.. Thats going as planned, so i'm happy
Here's some of the pics. Taken throughout the first few days of owning it
NEW PICS: Fitted some 100cell metal cats and an adapted a VX R8 stainless exhaust.
and one pic of both my cars together
