Hehe, I wish. Unfortunately the VN and VP dash loom simply runs through the firewall into the engine bay, with no plug separating the two. The VR and VS dash has a plug separating them, which is something holdens have been doing ever since.

I have successfully done this conversion, take the complete vp dash, wirein loom out. Get a vr loom, (motor loom and all) and plug and play as I call it!! You will need to take apart your headlights, and put vr wiring inside the vp headlight!!! That's a must do... Other wise you will find as soon as u put your battery terminals on all lights, parkers, high and low beam will come on.... Any Q feel free to ask... Ow yea u will need a vr gearbox too
