Some new Photos

Heya,

So I had a further look at the VK today. Everything looks so good and so clean!
I already started fixing up a few things in the interior and around the car.
My local Wrecker has 2 VK's there.. yay!

I found this funny switch by the gear stick.. You can turn it, and at one point it even starts the car.??

Anyway,

Here are some photos I took today:

Shiny sexy beast at its new home.

Perfect 16" Simmons original rims.

Brand new 1" brake booster and machined rotors.

ANYONE: Do you know what this is? You can twist the centre bit and you can even start the car like that.?? What is it?

hey mate, that is for the auto box so you cannot start the car in drive/reverse. as its now manual you can either remove it and join two wires or if you leave it, it may need to be in a certain position to start. good buy bud. if you wanna sell. PM me

$1600 would be a good price if it was a carbed 308, but that's a steal for an EFI 5L 5sp VK
Should come up really well with some TLC. Looks like the paint need a rub down with wet&dry
