Hey everyone. Was searching the forums earlier and haven't found a solution yet, so I've created an account to ask myself.
My parents recently bought a VN commodore at auction, and we want to strip it down for some parts for our own VN before we tow it down to the wreckers.
The problem is, the metal rod / cable connected to the hood latch is missing, so pressing the button inside the car doesn't pop the hood, and after removing the grill pulling on the latch at the front of the hood doesn't seem to do anything either - there's no wire rods connected to it.
Any ideas how else we can get the hood opened? We are able to smash / break into it if needed (as we are taking it to the wreckers anyway), just not sure where the best place would be and preferably don't want to break anything we might want to use again later in the other car.
If you need pictures / video / better description, please ask.
Thanks!
