How's it garn, I'm looking at chucking a set of sideskirts on my vg. Looking like only wagon or statesman ones will fit, sedans too short? Just wondering if I could get later model ones to fit? Seeing heaps for sale for vy/vx 2010+ But nothing 90s Found a pair for a wagon vt/vz?

No #3 stickers :cool: Took that vg for its first drive since April last year and went smooth as. I was impressed with how quick it is to switch gears

So it's pointless essentially? Lol That blue interior!

Yep that's the one. I'll chuck some photos up tomorrow, vg and vp wagon both colum shift

Just confirming, my vg column shift has 2 drive gears. I'm assuming the blue one would be overdrive? Any info appreciated

Great idea hadn't considered that ;)

Hi guys, My vp wagon is missing the fuse cover panel that sits under the steering wheel in dash area. Been told a VR one will fit but it seems to be about 1cm too big on one side? Could it be maybe the plastics are a bit different with it being column shift? I'm unsure..

What's the go with those roof ribs mate? I've just done my wagon liner and it's not sitting against the roof right. Thinking I might have missed something here? I only had a few velcro strips on the steel

Unless I take in a piece and go off the plastic side that's been against steel the whole time.. Looking like that'll be the way to go

Didn't think of that! It should be with the body paint code right?

Trying to find out the colour code for the trim on my vp wagon, I'm told it's the sandalwood colour but I haven't got a number to get a custom can made up etc. Also trying to do the same with a vg but I need to take some photos for the thread.

This one's got me dyslexia gurning 2L all up or 2L mixed? (=4L with a 1:1 with thinners dilution)

I may have missed a key point here.. This paints a base to mix 1:1 - 1:1.5 ratio with thinners so all up I've got 4L once everything's combined properly

The original red held up pretty well for 33 year old paint. Be happy if I could get the exact same formula stuff lol Didn't have a factory clear coat either

My issue with using a clear is the potential to peel in a few years :oops: I'm not the best painter but not too bad either.. The patches I have done over primer look pretty good/smooth with a good shine. I'll get a better photo tomorrow

Cheers :) I'd say I'll need a bit less than a sedan, 3L maybe? I'll see how I go. Be glad to get this one finished, new seats about to go in and a few dash repairs + fresh paint and she'll be done. Then onto the wagon...

I can definitely get more paint if need be! Just grabbed the 2 litres to begin with. How many L do you recon ill need?

Bay of plenty. Yep that could be a go too. Tailgate and bumper have been stripped right back, repaired and primed so likely will take a few extra coats. Will be blocking back the edges for sure, at the time I wasn't worried just wanted that white primer covered so it wasn't so cop magnety No...

Top half of this passenger door and a patch above the wheel have fresh paint, if you can see what I mean about the colour difference

A cut n polish brings the paint back quite nicely but unfortunately due to the sun damage/fading it's still not quite the same bright red as a fresh coat of the same paint

That's a bit of an older photo, I've since finished the panel work and painted over the primer patches with the premix custom cans you get from the auto paint store. It's the same as the original paint, lacquer base I believe? /1k Not planning on doing a clear coat

Afternoon, Im about to respray my vg ute. The original paint is in good condition but majorly sun faded. I'm planning on just scuffing that back and doing a light coat of fresh paint to bring that bright red back and blend the touch ups. Won't be doing the door jams or inside the ute tray...

I have a vg ute and a vp wagon they're both current projects. This is regarding the vp wagon

That's alright I haven't been able to find anything in that beige/sandalwood tone. I'm investing in some paint lol.

Will a vr glovebox door fit on a vp glovebox?

Thanks, im driving a couple hours away to grab it. A friend of a friend has an old vn sitting on his lawn and the dash it all that's left of it apart from the frame and some wires lol trying to get as much info as I can before I get down there

(Pic for example) This is what I'm talking about: the dashboard/surround plastic

(Point being I don't need the steering mechanism) I think you guys missed my point, I'm picking up a new dash to put in my ute the old ones sun damaged to **** and full of cracks/warping etc. I'm not replacing the cluster, I don't have speedo or ac problems. (On this ute. my vp odometer as...

Whole front of the inside of the car, air vents, speedo, stereo surround etc the whole lot. Just not the steering wheel stuff

Whole unit essentially the entire front plastics area

Afternoon, Anyone know where I might find a guide to remove a vn dash? Also needing info on replacing the odometer parts thatve worn down, cogs of some sort? Cheers

That'd be okay aye, I can always get more printed if they turn to **** after a couple years

Good point, I hadn't considered the uv damage

That's half of what I paid for the whole ute lol! Crazy how expensive parts are for these older models now. A friend of mines been getting into 3d printing, wonder if he could make some up?

That ebay set is alright too, I just need the left side one. My cheapest option probably will be parts cars. None of the wreckers have any holdens older than 2005/6 We're skint for parts here all the good old school vehicles have already been scavenged. I'll keep my eyes peeled

Legend! Bloody pricey though!

Hi guys any idea where I could get a set of these windows frame trims? For vg/vn/vs ute rear side windows. Been looking for a few months locally but haven't seen any parts utes come up that have em. Nz based but happy to order from aus if need be

Picked this up today, body's relatively straight but in desperate need of a repaint. Bumpers are held on with zip ties and string c': I see an opportunity here to upgrade bumpers + potential bodykit. Suggestions???

Still got it?
