Okay so I've had about 4 cars over the past 4 months because i just couldn't find one i wanted to keep...so I went back to what I know I love.

Picked this up relatively cheap as it has a few flaws and wasn't running right when I got her.

Model: VN SS
Year: 1990 Series 1
Engine: 304 V8
Transmission: Factory 5 Speed
Suspension: Factory FE2
Diff: 3.45 LSD ( yet to be confirmed)

I've also got four factory VN SS wheels :)

have some pics :)












Attention areas at the moment are:

Brakes and Suspension need to be done
New Grille
Rear spoiler has some damage on the left hand side so trying to pick up a new one
Sunburn Roof

Hope you all enjoy!

And here you can see they've rolled the guards too rough and forced the steel out :(

Is the front bar on correctly?
Doesn't look right in the photos.

And I do like the stock wheels on a VN SS lately, failing that a set of 19" HSV wheels or the old 17" VR clubsport ones.
But I trust your judgement, since those other wheels are going.

I always liked VT GTS's on mine.



Then I changed to Sig's (back when you could only get genuine from HSV before every second car had them)

Haha thanks for the trust stockies, the front bar has been cut for some reason i don't know, im looking to get a new set of bumpers as these one's aren't even S pac so that's on the list as well :p
Just ordered new rotors, pads, wheel bearings and shocks so will hopefully fit them this weekend weather depending and put the factory rims on for now :)

I did have a set of FR17's which i love for my old vn....but i sold them after i crashed it and a new set is unfortunately over 3 grand :'(

Haha Strike, I had the "rip off" sigs on my VN. Useless pieces of crap. When your 19" wheel is lighter than your 17" wheel - your in for a bad time with potholes....
Hoska, needs a black dashboard like the Caprices do. Makes em look tougher.


....I have still got sooo many VN parts in the shed, should buy a half decent one and P plate spec for some serious cash....

yeah i was looking at colour combos for the interior, was even considering a black/dark grey top with a beige/cream bottom section kind of setup but need to have a play with photoshop to see what looks good haha :) getting her running right is my #1 priority atm, ideally i'd love to put in a vs stato dash but i don't really want to pull the car apart too much.

But then again as strike says....it's just an exec with a body kit :p

Cream interior rarely working in them unless you have a white car, just looks wrong.
