VXII Sooty wagon

[Risky]

Not a bad wagon there. I'd be interested to see if you keep that faux HSV bumper or whether you'll go for a Berlina one cos of the headlights. I like the bonnet as it'll give it a different stance.

Good wagons are hard to find as they've copped a lot of family abuse. The ones around where I live are used as family hacks.

Cheers for the input guys.
She is driving well and has just tipped 340k, I'm kinda hoping for a fatal engine accident but she keeps driving fine.
I'm amassing all the parts for a respray, but just can't locate an SS rear bumper anywhere!
I rang a local wrecker here, but he said he wouldn't put a price on it as he wanted to keep it... Shame, it's the last piece of the exterior puzzle.

You can hope all you want for a fatal engine incident, but as long as it has oil and water (in separate locations) it won't die. Ecotec FTW!

I went to sydney and while over there I bought some bits

It's now time for Sooty to get some love!

I took her down the drags for her first run and had a best time of 16.024...

There was no such thing as a VXSS wagon, or any HSV wagons for that matter. and sedan bumpers are very different. So you won't find one just sitting around, unless its a 3rd party knock off.

Yeah mine had been a Family Wagon for a while so I had to fix a few things and cover over some others that had taken family 'Damage'. Good point was the bloke worked at a reputable workshop and in the country your reputation counts so the major work that needed doing was done.
Have kept on top of replacing any worn bits and I'm always happy to read of big Kay cars. I'm just coming up to 300,000. Problem is my old tiny town mech is all old school and won't even do an auto box service. Means at some point it will have to go to the next big town down the road for a service. Maybe to it's previous owner. Pretty sure he'll like the look of it now.

I was referring to the VYII ss rear bumper. There were around 350 made.
