Red vb project

[VBRED]

I picked up this VB off ebay a couple of months ago for $425.

So far I have rebuilt the front end with nothalane bushes, superlow springs, munroe shocks all round, HDT 30mm front sway bar and VN V8 front brakes with 1" master cylinder. I have fixed up some bits and pieces. Just about ready for RWC.

I am going to convert to V6 5 speed manual.

I have acquired a VR for the enginine and fuel tank + bits. I have also a T5 VR gearbox, flywheel, starter motor, manual loom and ECM, VN V8 LSD, VN Rack, Exceedy clutch. Just about ready for the conversion.

I will register before the conversion.

Cheers Pete

nice VB mate, its an SL right? i've got a red vb as well in the shed, an SL with SL/E wheels (same as yours), but with a 253 and aussie 4 speed :cry:

picked mine up for a bargain too (only coz it was through family)

how many k's are on it?

also, if you find anywhere that has vb commodore grills, let me know coz the one on mine was stuffed and had to put a vc grille on it.

have fun with the conversion mate

Mate I don't even think it is an SL model. It is a pov model with vinyl seats. No SL badges. It has 3.3 badge instead. The SL had silver painted section between the tail lights. Mine does not have that.

It looks a lot better in the photo.

It has 130,000ks I think are correct. The car was not driven for the last 6 years.

I put a new VC grille in mine.

Check out ebay for a new grille.

I have talked the conversion thru with the engineer so I am going to get started soon.
