Hi guys,
First post ever, joined up to gain a bit of knowledge to rebuild my VS series 3.
She’s been off the road for a few years, still got under 90k on the clock.

Sorry my bad, she’s nothing special, V6 auto dual fuel.
She needs a new bonnet, gas tank re certified, roof lining and fuel pump are the first jobs
Probably get new rotors and brakes and find a more suitable front bumper and she will be ready for rego.

The way gas is going gotta really consider if it's worth stamping the tank. Not sure cost per litre where you're from but $1.05 a litre in Tas and unless you have injected gas it's cheaper to run petrol.

Nice cruiser.

Are they VX SS rims ?

Do they still require the tank to be removed from the vehicle for inspection ?

No they’re s pack rims.
Yes tank needs to be removed for inspection.

Here in vic lpg is still 55-59c/L. Petrol is approx $1.45-1.52/L. That’s more than a 90c/L saving, which equates to saving a of over $54 per 60L fill. In my case, fuel economy is the same between fuels.

Depends on the purpose of the car and where you live of course.

LPG is about 80c around here, it’ll just be my daily driver.

When you say rebuild, what are you rebuilding?
