heres my vn project, striped a clean 1 owner vn calais that was smashed up the ass for the interior (leather) and drivetrain (v6 200,000km). full wiring loom swap all the way through, with cruise and all electrics. bought a vp lexcen with a blown engine for 500 bucks (had a full areo kit on it). by the way the areo kit is almost in primer and ready for sale if anyone is intrested message me. 14 peice body kit. working on getting it running, think it needs a fuel pump. anywho im going vp instead of vn. need bonnet guards bars headlights indicators taillights boot garnish. here is some current pics. will post more as i go... this is the first project car in Australia and it had to be a holden im a big GM fan. ive been driving my wifes 89 telstar since ive been here and i cant wait for it to be recycled into export steel.
