- VK 202 manual
Sup guys, am totally new to the whole doing up a car scene. Always just drove and didnt really care about mechanical work. Neways wanted to get into it and got a 1984 vk 202 4spd manual as a project car with a few mates in the same boat, never worked on a car but keen to get started. the car was only $500 the guy did have it reged but took the reg when he sold it 2 us, it has done 202,000km,s has vk calais rims if i am not mistaken with like 85% tread, lowered (assuming pedders cuz they are red) springs in the front and back and tinted windows. the paint job is this awesome red i havnt seen before, like a lighter red than ur usual, in great condition. Few questions:
1. need to replace the passenger side engine mount as it is looking really ****ty, how much work would be involved in that and any idea of the cost of getting one, either 2nd hand or new.
2. the gearbox wont mesh properly when i try and put it into reverse and about 80% of the time it grinds...any ideas? a friend told me that the vk's always had problems meshing in reverse.
3. Planning on turning the car into a bit of a rally beast, any ideas on where in melbourne i could hunt down a roll cage and a approx cost, apparently vb-vl are all the same cage so i guess shouldnt be impossible to get hold of. Anyways thanks heaps guys and i will post some pics 2morrow and you can tell me if i got ripped Take care.
