My VG Work Hack

[IRON8]

VG V6 auto ute Mods; VR Clubsport replica face lift, custom colour - Nike Red, SuperLow Dobi Sport springs, 18x8.5 Mak Stings with 20mm spacers on the front, Rebuilt Borgwarner LSD (very tight)

Has been a project, was destined for the wreckers, have replaced nearly everything- wheels, shocks, springs, motor,radiator, diff, wheel and axle bearings, fixed all the lights, upgraded the headlamp bulbs, fitted tool box and tonneau cover, painted out original flamboyant silver stripes, scrubbed the interior and fitted new plates. Added 20mm hub spacers on the front as the VN front strut set up is a bit weired causing the wheels to be set right in which looked a bit queer, brought the wheels out perfectly to match the VR stance.

Nice, some clear side indicators would look great on this, Always been a fan of the VG ute nice ride.

yeah i know, well theyr not even wired up as the vg/vn doesn't have side indicators but i will have to get that sorted at some stage..

just tap into the front indicator wiring on each respective side. thats all i did with my vn that runs a vp facelift and they work a treat !

future mods?

Not since I replaced the motor! So you could say she has let me down but that would be down the k's. 385k at present.. only the trans is maybe original.. the motor I had put in is a bit of a dud, it goes OK but has an awful idle and a noisy lifter but it's getting a 304 at the end of the year so just gotta nurse it.
