- VG Ute, VR Wagon
Hey all, long time no see. I ended up selling both my VTII V8 wagon and my VS L67 ute, but have picked up a nice VN...
She's a 1990 Berlina, white, with the standard auto & aircon pack as well as body-coloured bumpers. There are only 170,000km on the clocks and she was a single-owner car from a deceased state. Minty fresh bodywork, engine and interior, and runs like a charm. The usual stash or receipts indicate she's got a fresh radiator and water pump in the last 12 months.
Better yet, it was only $350 and sailed through rego without any dramas. Sure, the 185/75R14's are a bit old but who cares?
The plan at this stage is to sort out the few issues it has and then look at doing a very mild performance build - extractors & intake, nothing too crazy.
I think the new radiator and water pump may have been because the car overheats at idle. Mind you, it looks like that is because the thermo fan doesn't cut in. It works fine if you directly actuate it with 12v, but the sensor is garbage so I'm replacing that to (hopefully) solve the issue.
