nothing wrong with the V6
they sound like ****, but they actually go quite well compared to the old low comp, pollution choked carb V8
I'd still go for the V8 myself (because I love them) but the V6 will go well

Im aware the 6 with smash the 8. But can drive fast on road (Overtaking acceptable) and girls dont like driving fast 
. 6 looks lame in shed everything elce v8 and love the sound. theres a hz 253 extractors no exhaust, thats nice and loud
I would have the 8 if laws aloud
And i found rust in rails no good :,( sorry no photos.
The vn rack look a little weatherd been out side to long, Will a vs rack fit? as for column want to mod to suit vr/vs adjustable. Part of running that column is that vr donor is belina got cruise control yay for wiring haha not looking forward to that
What diff have a vr wagon vs sedan or a vn sedan.
was thinking vn housing, wagon gears (manual) with vs axles (new bearings but from abs diff)
(Got to love having your own second gen wreckers in back yard lol) to bad theres no lsd centers.
If you have a vl t diff your more than welcome to donate but don't have much money
So much talk want to go do it,

Fixed rail
Fixed rust hole, teach kids to weld. Most useful skill ever! Was full of 30 odd years of grass and dirt, lots of moisture has been in there, lots of moisture.
What the authorities can't see on the inside of the rail cant hurt them. She'll be right
Who knows whats in order to put second gen pedal box in first gen?
And vr/vs steering column in to early girl? (Top mount same)and how to bolt that up to a vn rack?

not to be a douche but...
if everyone i know told me i shat apples, i would believe my **** was apples. that right there is a perforated weld. basically, it needs a new bead. the "authorities" tell you it shouldnt be perforate because itll just rip. like a perforated piece of cardboard.
im not trying to diss you at all. i totally respect the fact youre mucking around with your own car and the "next gen" of ace mechanics (we're a dying breed) need to be just like you, BUT you need to learn and learn fast that cutting corners is just not acceptable if you want to be GOOD at what you do. when it comes to welds, if you decide to do a section, then do it properley. if it means you have to fill more holes then fill them, but dont ever take on that "she'll be right mate" attitude that a lot of kids take. take pride in your work and do it properley
/rant
love your work mate.

And ran out of mig wire need to get some more thinking of changing rad support to second gen
And go over some of my dog welds from before (thanks for correcting me)
