Nice start for a new project Shane, but those VR Berlina wheels don't look good on a VN either.

The green 89 sedan will be a donor car for a while - rims and seats. Daughter will use it to run to uni which is a 50k round trip each day. So patch it up andleave it at that.

At least it runs so smooth - fired up first kick with the battery from my car. VN's sound cool with no exhaust (cat missing)

Another '91 VN mate? (the V8 sedan is a '91, am i correct?) Either way, looks good...i'm assuming the first item on the agenda is to put some decent wheels on it. :p

Yep one of the very last VN's 528000 ish serial number. The rims of the 89 sedan will fit just nicely.:thumbsup:

And yes I now have 2 91 VN's

Not to mention...you now also have one of the first, and one of the last VN's. :thumbsup: (the green wagon is a June '88 build, right?)
