Nicks VR

love the chrome handles on the red man, very classy

with the caprice woodgrain radio surround did it just fit up or did you have to modify anything?

 

[NickVR]

Thanks mate.

The grey surround had to be cut but if you buy it from a wreck make sure to take the grey part as they are cut from factory.


Have a look at the photos. They should explain how it needs to be cut.

The next stage

The Next Stage

Bought this wreck early this week and picked it up on Friday night. Thanks to the boys at Jaustech for helping get it on the trailer and letting me know they had it stashed at the back of their yard.
It's a VR Berlina 5ltr. Only thing missing is diff and rear springs (like you couldn't tell, lol).
Yes I will be selling parts off of it but once I start dismantling. Any you want except anything driveline related and electric windows, just ask.
Parts will be posted in the for sale thread eventually.

Where it lived for 4 years.

The beginning of the journey home.


The new home for while it gets dismantled.


My mate got bored.

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. I will slowly pull apart the wreck, clean and paint the motor up then have a go at installing it. Never done something like this so should be fun.

going a manual or auto?

 

[NickVR]

Auto. It's got an auto in it that has been rebuilt so I'll use that till I get bored and chuck a manual in it. That probably won't happen though.
