Aww nice VK, if thats the worst rust in the boot, then you have got a pearla!! Thats nothing, door looks shagged but probably fixable. Might be just as easy to swap a good door but?

Funny as, I saw the H in the back ground too, was trying to think where Ballarat was :p Think a clean start would be the way to go up here too :)

Be keeping an eye on this thread for sure

Been having a chat with the old man tonight, another option for the k might be an LS1 :)

Yeah or a 355 stroker. I just want something that I can register so yeah still undecided. Just for the ease of things I thought get a 308 for rebuild and register it with the 308 in it then pull it out and stroke it to 355? With some other goodies. Or if i can find an LS1 for a good price get that. Spoke to a bloke the other day he said they can go pretty cheap but I'll need an adaptor plate to move the starter to the other side and a few other things.

Been practicing my welds yesterday. Getting their slowly. Decided to leave the motor side of things for now until I find one at a good price. So I'll look at getting a diff and found out my brother is using the brakes so I'll look for some VT ones again.

I take back the above post lol, Quick question what engine would better suit the conversion in my VK. A 304 from a VS stato or from a VN SS? Which one will have better performance even though they are the same pretty much? And which easier to put in? I asked this in my other thread but I need an answer soon.
