Delete thread please!

ahh so you went ahead and bought it.. looks like its got potential. could be a very nice car. bit rare to top it off good luck

Good Project mate! if you get it all done and on the road itl look tuff! good luck with it

yeh would be good to have a car people havnt even heard of, before i read your first thread about buyin it ide never heard of it lol i thort it was typo for a group A.. so whats you plans for it?

Nice project, hopefully it can be repaired as they aren't common at all. There was a story in SC quite a while ago, one reason they were released was to test the public reaction to the white duco, which obviously went well as some of the late VN SS's were white. Good luck with the repairs, look forward to seeing the end result.

good to see you've gotten straight into it and not bought it and let it sit in the shed for a day you could be F'd lol. keep at it should come out a treat. and when you said paint did you mean the same color or somthing else? not to tell you not to do it your way but ide keep it white.. original

try holden dealership for the plus 8 stickers, and wat rims did they come on, anything special?

I think they came on 16" Walky rims didin't they? Bit hard to tell by the pics but it looks like it might have the factory fitted wheels on it. Pretty sure they didn't have VN SS wheels at least. Some info: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=44443

Found a little more info for ya on a dedicated VN site... 8 Plus PRICE ON RELEASE - $32990 CODE - N/A ENGINE OPTIONS - 5.0litre V8 (180kw) RELEASE DATE - March 1990 END DATE - Limited run of 80 (ended March 1990) KERB WEIGHT - N/A BODY STYLE - Sedan DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Overview -Produced for the Melbourne Motor show and specifically for metropolitan Melbourne dealers, the 8 Plus was based on the VN SS. The 8 Plus is noted as being the inspiration behind a white VN SS as GMH realised the popularity of the colour and released the Alpine White SS in November 1990. Mechanical - As for SV89 but also included the SV5000 style cold air intake Interior - Momo leather steering wheel, SV seat bolsters in the front and rear Exterior - Available only in Alpine White, SV3800 letter box grill the only change to the SS body kit. 8 Plus decals were used on the forward edge of the front doors on body crease line and driver side of rear spoiler above boot garnish. and have you got the little build plate on the dash? http://www.squaredarches.com/Images/VN/8plus001.jpg couldnt find stats or picks on rims tho

http://www.squaredarches.com/vnrimid.htm I was wrong on the rims. Use the links on that site for more info on VN/VP. Looks to be pretty good.

^^ seen that site this morning totally missed the first one lol.. they look pretty boring to me. maybe momo stars? will give it a nice look.

haha you creative with those chains.. as for being more dedicated than you xD. i just started lookin into it as ide never even heard of a 8 Plus before so i wanted to know for myself interest just as much as to help you out so yeh.. i wouldn't worry to much about what you would charge for it just yet, since if you are restoring it for fun and with plans of making profit back on it then your better off waiting the couple decades or whatever and then lookin into it and asking the right people.

had a quick look for an ss bar in melb but yeh no luck i thort be heaps.. front ends comin along well.. how bout some gas struts.. i think people just use the ones from the wagon tail gates.. keep it up i can see this being a nice car

you can get gas struts off ebay for $25 delivered

hey mate, awesome to see u found a Plus8 to do up as a project, awesome cars. I just sold my '91 Alpine White VN SS before Xmas and am already regretting it.... check out www.VNSSCLUB.com (http://www.VNSSCLUB.com) - great bunch of blokes on there and they will definitely be able to help you out with any VN SS related questions your gonne struggle to find any NOS orginal Plus8 decals so I reckon you best bet is to find someone who is able to reproduce a set for you. also, be prepared to pay top dollar for the VN SS foglights (anywhere from $300-$600 on eBay). I reckon a freshly repainted set of original VN SS wheels will look f**kin tough on it once its dumped, maybe with some whitewalls (I was running Superlows up front and Ultra-Lows compressed an inch in the rear). and check out this 8Plus that was at the Melb Cruise4Charity last year: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
