Gday buddy welcome to the forum!!
Looking at the picture and the comment about the buick engine you have yourself a VR ute there buddy, unless it has had a front end conversion of course.
Got anymore pics or build date so we can verify it for you??
Cheers |
What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |

@VNGRPA - looks like they are very similar to the VR GTS mags painted black. If they are 17's I would hazard a guess as to say they are.

I don't allow swearing as we get really young ones who are looking to do up their first car on here and it is the last thing I need, the parents taking the site to court as their child was offended by the language.

its a S1 with VS coils, VS fuel pump, VS fan, new leads, plugs, oils, all filters, belt, o2 and tps sensors and a 2.5 cat back with twin mufflers.
All bushes replaced with nolethanes and all new brakes
(mid way progress shot)
interior has a VS bench and carpet, VN door trims with berlina inserts and VS pods and a VS non-air bag wheel.
Also repainted in the VS white, not the $hitty dull VN off white.
Thats about all i can think of for now.
