It will be a V8. Even would be border line crazy dropping a V8 into a VR. This car is a project for my Autistic son, and I. Once finished, I won't be selling it, it'll eventually get handed down to my kids. It'll be the last car I ever build, so this will have plenty of time spent on it.

Nice, a father and son project car. In that case it does t really matter what type of car it is, as long as it's a commodore :)

Thanks mate. I want to teach him some skills that hopefully could lead him into a trade. He loves cars, and has wanted to work on one for a while now. So, hopefully, he will know how to do some panel beating, welding, metal work, as well as painting. I will be doing nearly all the work myself, so i'll save heaps in labour costs. Thanks for the offer, and if I were in NZ, I would of taken it off your hands.

I will do a build thread with heaps of pics when the time comes. I believe, if your a car guy, you share your ideas, knowledge with others. This will be a very grumpy V8. I have idea of the build all mapped out in my head, but pointless posting a thread, purely based on an idea, and not actually doing it.
