Just bought this today, '91 VQ i think it has about 204,000 on the clock, the body is not bad, the only rust i could see is in the boot, but i can weld that up, the paint on the roof is bad but i really couldn't care, the interior is ok some rips on the door cards but its a vn i can get another one next to nothing, and it lost 3rd gear in the auto so ill be driving it up the road to the shops until i get a new gearbox and it has 2 months rego
the 5ltr is running good, drove it today and i was surprised of the power it had and i only had the accelerator down like 25% (first time i drove a v8), after driving a prius for so long it is weird to drive something like this ( first time i drove a commodore) it is harder to steer but ill get used to it,
but the whole reason for buying this was to put all the running gear into my vk + i got it for cheap, $1200
when the vk is ready ill swap the running gear and k frame etc,
now i was thinking what to do with the shell when im done with it but its to nice to scrap, so im thinking of fixing it up as much as i can and get a $500 vn v6 and chuck the running gear and k frame etc in the vq and give it to my sister and her son
here is the pos (the wheels dont come with it)
i dont have the car yet so ill see if i can get it tomorrow and take more pics
