Hey Guys, This is my new daily, sold my jappa wagon for this as soon as i saw it on trade me. Found it as i was looking for vette rims for the VLT, was so tidy and cheap enough i decided to not piss the guy off and try to just buy the wheels ha. done a few bits and pieces in the few months ive had her, was never ment to be a "build" up car but you know how it goes. future plans...hopefully before Power Cruise is to throw a 304 and T5 manual in her, then drive the s..t out of it. Anyway heres a few pics, ill load up some more shortly as ive just put a Group A front on her this morning. Enjoy ---------- Post added 11-08-12 at 13:17 ---------- 19" Flares off DOSEIT, on there for now while i get narrower tyres for vette rims as they scrape too much. Group A front bumper, grill, Group 3 scoop. reap bumper fitted with VL HDT LE lower lip. let me know what you think guys Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Get rid of the Vet rims as you will end up breaking the wheel studs(not the right fitment)As the studs bend slightly when tightened.You can pick up 15" areos quite cheap.Wagon looks clean and straight.I have to say I like it.Not many like her anymore. Cheers Marty

I like it! Chuck an injected 304, auto and some 4.11 gears in it for a nice cheap quickish daily setup

Awesome wagon Kelvin. Love the P-plates. Nice touch. Looks dope on the black 19's as well as the vets.

Injected 304 and T5 Manual going in it shortly Alex. need to sort out a LSD diff still though, quite pricey. As for the vette rims Marty, yea ive heard horror storys of them snapping studs, thats why im running the 19s for now till i get them sorted. Have VK Calais door moulds to go on soon aswell to blend the bumpers in a bit more. ---------- Post added 11-08-12 at 19:04 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by NZER [View Post] Awesome wagon Kelvin.

The plates look good, but the boys in blue didnt think the same, $100 fine and 20 demerit points for painting them. i knew full well when i did it i was going to get fined one day. chance you take eh.

What sort of LSD diff do you want run? A Borg Warner or a VK Salisbury or a 9"? Also do the vet rims sit snug over the centre of the hub?

A 25 spline VL BW with LSD will be fine for a stock 304

Also do the vet rims sit snug over the centre of the hub? got a Salisbury diff from a VH V8 wagon, but its not LSD unfortunately. called Steelie bout it and quoted over a grand is there any other head and splines i could stuff in there? or even just the head? the vette rims fit snug over centre of hub, but as Marty said they do seem to put pressure on studs, can hear them creek as you undo nuts. As i take my son to day care every day in it, im not too keen on one letting go! could try adaptor plates but tyre shops say nah there shouldnt be a problem etc etc Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

As i take my son to day care every day in it, im not too keen on one letting go! could try adaptor plates but tyre shops say nah there shouldnt be a problem etc etc I was going to suggest building up a BW diff but if your getting rubbing with the Vets on the outside of the tyre it would only worsen as the BW is wider than the Sals. If your staying with the 19's and wanted to go with a BW 28 spline I could give you some ideas. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nothing too exciting under the bonnet to show off but surpose it cant hurt ha ---------- Post added 12-08-12 at 18:33 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by ss nut [View Post] go with your gut feeling and sell the vett rims,People say they are OK but they are not,Good to see you thinking of safety for your son and everyone else on the road.The black rims don't really do it for me but they are better than the vett ones.As I said nice project you have there! Cheers Marty be shame to sell them, whole reason i bought the wagon was for the rims. ive had so many offers on them already though. rather try to sort them so they are safe as they suit the VK really well imo. Thanks Marty. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

damn i havent seen a vk wagon that tidy and straight in years. is that the original paint color / scheme?

Are you going to put that tailgate trim on that I gave ya ? you know this already but get rid of the red stripe and replace it with a black one if you havn't already Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It was factory astroid silver, someone along the line has resprayed it a light blue/grey, the bumpers ive put on and scoop are primer grey and nearly match lol. It was a doors closed paint job and a quick job, **** masking and no paint inside door jams etc. ---------- Post added 20-08-12 at 19:45 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by SIKVLT [View Post] Are you going to put that tailgate trim on that I gave ya ? you know this already but get rid of the red stripe and replace it with a black one if you havn't already nah havnt yet, ill prime it up and prefit it, see how it looks. ha you need to get over the red stripes brother, ive got full set of VK calais door moulds to go on then ill redo the stripe again in bright red to match the Red walls going on the 19s Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
