- VR 3.8 exec, big pajero, 5speed vn v6 play car
So from the person that bought to just commodores this car http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/projects/146595-v6-vn-dragger-2-a.html I am now here to proudly announce I am finally starting a street project.
Just yesterday I announced on my f.b that I was after a neat vn-vr wagon shell to put the running gear from my drag car into for a street project, and luck happened to strike. Within 10 minutes I was contacted and told about a car someone had sitting at their place which they wanted removed. So sight unseen I grabbed the car trailer and went to collect it. Expecting to pick up a dirty rough old vn considering it was free I was blown away when I saw what I had actually managed to score, and this is it.......
Series 2 vp exec. Only 4 very minor dings that need to be repaired. But far from bad enough to even worry about. The worst being the left hand lower sill. Interior tidy, 280,000ks on a clearly very maintained car. Near new tyres, starts and runs without a single puff of smoke or rattle, good brakes etc :yahoo:
Its not 100% perfect but it is one of the best examples of a vp ive seen in a while, especially for $0.
So the plan is at this stage to get it on the road. Nothing fancy untill that......
Then the games will begin, starting with chucking the sc14 from the dragger onto it, hence the name ( VPSI )
Then there would be a series of mods afterwards, suspension, wheels, more boost, shift kit (ill keep it auto) Zorst, interior and the final touch will be getting the little dings out and fixing the paint right up
No idea which order itll go in and not 100% sure if ill even stick to those plans but thats the point of this thread. Keep an eye on it and you's will see the progress
