VT/VX to VY/VZ back end conversion

[Jmorvs]

Im looking into buying a vx and I'm interested in converting the back end to a vy look. I was wondering how easy this would be and what would be involved? Would read quarters have to be cut and welded? I would like the conversion purely because of the more triangular tail lights. In this case would it be easier to fit a vz exec back end on there? Or would I be better off just biting the bullet and getting a vy?

1/4 panel weld on $$$$ , but a VY it will only $2k at the most dearer

Would be easier to buy a VY/Z and do the front end conversion. All those panels bolt on and can be had cheap. Would need guards, bar, bonnet, lights, re-inforcement panel? and paint.
A panel beater would charge you bulk coin to un pick then re stitch VY panels on to your VX. You would probably have to buy a doner VY with straight panels as i doubt they are available from Holden anymore.

Piece of cake, firstly sell the VX and then buy a VY! Conversion complete with the added bonus of not then asking how to hard it is to convert the interior from vx to vy

Rear bars needs to be chopped
Like others said it need to be welded

As mentioned , just buy a VY/ VZ , a lot less of a faff .
