My Series III VS Ute

[tim005]

Were you at the Port Melb meet without your ute? Think I had a chat to you about your engine transplant.
How much is it costing you if you don't mind me askign.

hey tim, yes i was at the port Melb meet but i was with Brinsley, the engine conversion so far has cost me about 1500, engine, loom, auto trans, and accessories. I'm just about to get it refreshed (matter of weeks) eg gaskets, pistons, rings bearings etc, I'm not after lots of power, that will cost around 2500

loving the look of this car.
nothing is better then seeing a p plater make a car just look nice and clean and not overdoing everything.
cant wait to hear how the motorswap goes aswell.

keep up the good work

nice looking ute mate, where you thinking of getting SS side skirts?

 

[jesse_lankey]

thanks drawnnite i love the shape of the vs's and ive spent a fair bit on it and will continue to do so, i will post some updates of the engine conversion when its been rebuilt
I had a look at the ss skirts but i want to keep it simple, i will eventually get a slimline hardlid but thats about as far as I'm planning to go with the exterior

 

[tim005]

Hey mate.
Do you mind PM me the fine details of your engine conversion?
As in what parts you need and the price of each?
I want a rough outline so I can see if I want to do it for my ute in the future.

Saw this thing at C4C. Looks good as. Specially with the hardlid.

 

[jesse_lankey]

ahh cheers thanks man, i needa do some updates of the lid n wheels, i remember talking to you at c4c

 

[jesse_lankey]

Got some flicks of my vs and brinz's calais, I've got my ss bar front bar but didn't get any of the hard lid, it got dark quickly so their not the greatest
