- 85 VK Sedan 3.3 Injected
I have ALWAYS deep in my heart wanted a NICE VC commy to baby and nurture and hug and squeeze till the day I die.:bow:
I know exactly how I want her to look, inside and out.:yeah:
Problem is that VC's are getting harder and harder to come by over here, especially rust free 6 cyl versions. The odd one pops up on the radar but turns out to be a crap 4cyl screamer or has more bog than swamp....:bang:
My project will require the fitting of a nice 3.8l v6 engine which will need an efi fuel pump and return fuel line.... which gets me thinking about an efi VK like my current daily driver which has a return fuel line... and no rust.... and straight panels....
So I was wondering
How hard would it be to backdate a VK to look like a VC??
Is it feasable to find another VK efi commy, remove all the plastic (bumpers trims etc and fit chrome bumpers, VC lights and grill??
Is the bonnet the same or does it have a different leading edge profile?
The end result would be a vk dressed as a VC and would reward me with a car body that is 5 years younger than what its pretending to be?
Thoughts
Thanks
