PSSSSSSH oversided panel gaps is what makes the vn, Just wouldn't be right.

I have always had a soft spot for them since my first VN 20 odd years ago

That thing is MINT.

Any links to some good info for fitting the tank, or did you nut it out yourself?

Cheers

Couple of problems fitting it, the tank i got was out of a IRS VS so the passenger side strap is different..
I basically cut and spliced the standard strap and the long range tank strap..
The sender / pump plug were also different so had to cut and splice those..
I also had problems with it cutting out but a new fuel pump seemed to fix that..

a 80 litre tank is a VN Executive option, with adjustment if the car hasn't been in an accident before its pretty simple, just the rubber adjusters on the inside of the bonnet and boot, the doors its just the locks and strikers to adjust, makes a lot of difference, besides the radio, the VP SS steering wheel and the debadge the car's stock, just a suggestion.

with the problems you had with fitting the tank, on cars with a trip computer the pump and wiring is different, also depends with VN as some have an internal and external pump, you look to have sorted it out so thats alright

love how clean this looks, good to see a non-beaten VN! And finally dress rings on interceptors that don't look taccy... I think it's the white on chrome that makes it work well

Not much happening with the old boat
It now has just over 40k on the clock and I have removed the silver stripes from the bumpers
My 2010 VW Caddy now has more KM's then my 1990 VN

Very nice mate, and so clean. I believe that there are cars like this out there still that are in mint condition with low kilometers.

I went to a car yard a couple of years ago, they had a show room with a few cars in it, and among them I found a VC Commodore that looked like it just came out of the factory, and it had very low kilometers. They wanted $6000 though, but it was probably worth it because it looked brand new still.
