HYP090 VN Berlina Build from 3.8L - 355

Hey this is my vn berlina project... Its currently a POS 3.8L v6... but i recently bought a vs statesman 5L as a project but decided to use the vs as a doner car for my vn... ill be transferring the 304 over to the vn so i can drive around with the v8 while i build the 355 for it... yes i have quite a few blocks... lol... will also be using the statesman dash, center console, computer, wiring loom, fuel tanks and pumps, door trims, rear seat, keyless entry and a few bits and pieces my vn needs... I chose to keep the vn as the vn-vp has always been my favourite... my old projects was well on its way till some bitch chucked a uturn in front of me without looking and only a week later a truck tboned me... so ive been trying out some new cars since then including 2 turbo pulsars and a s13 silvia but made my way back to a vn... hahaha... first picks are of my vn and the second picks are of my old commy that i smashed...

Wheels are sweet, agreed on the colour it will look mint...always been a big fan of dark purple paint (almost bought a VY S in purple before I picked mine up but wasn't in good enough condition) , they are a bastard colour to keep clean though...similar to black in some respects.

Your old car looks sweet...eww to stockies on the back in one pic though.

Also :thumbsup: to the VY clubby in the driveway.
