hey guys...god i havent posted anything on a project in a while... i recently acquired a vk commodore...before anyone asks...yes it was on ebay... equipped with a complete vl driveline ( engine, box, tailshaft, diff, wiring, etc. )i thought this makes a good base for a good project... plans are: -engine rebuilt to handle 300rwkw -gearbox to handle the same -start the boosting on a t3 ( highflow or not doesnt bother me ) -the usual fmic setup as for color i havent decided yet...atm im leaning towards the ve grey metallic...mind u mazda have bought out some fair cool colors lately...as soon as i acquire my shed...ill be installing my new booth...and prep area... anyway pics are below tell me what u think Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Wow youre alive.. Didnt your spirit for the RB30 die off with that yellow banger of yours? Looks cool Good luck with it man Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha yea man...im alive... the spirit for the rb30 didnt die off...it just went into hibernation...lol @ yellow banger cheers for the luck...im gonna need it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

more and more people are doing RB'd vk's .. I love it NDSKYZ 2? haha! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice project mate! A mate of my brothers is doing a similar thing to a VH SL/E! Good luck with it, & keep us posted on progress. Cheers.

"ve grey metallic" you mean Evoke?? If so that's one of my favourite colours at the moment

You gonna build it yourself? Is it registered etc?

awesome keep us posted on the progress. i hope to do a rb30 in a vk one day myself

Errr why not the VK, BSTNU is good example of a VK with the VL goodies.. Sounds promising, looking forward to updates. G'luck.

not registered yet bogz but yea...building it myself cheers for all the luck fellas...im gonna need it!

Are you running a manual or auto? does the vl gearbox cross member fit in the vks?

i beleive it needs t be re-adjusted to suit the earlier underbody...im sure i can manage lol...but yea...itll be auto picked up the guards tonight to start working on them...ill post pics of the progress soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well i sanded back the guards last nite and put a film of fine fill bodyfiller in the front nose of both as a small dint (not even 5c size) was found... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im feeling a powerglide and gt42r awsome project, with you behind it should turn out awsome. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha cheers trev...well here are the pics...as promised...my appologies to the sh!t quality pics...damn p.o.s. work fones all i got atm...lol drivers side passenger side primer coats started the plan is to get 5-6 coats of hifill primer on and get it completley flat...then apply the base...but noticed tonight that the guards are in worse shape than originally anticipated... can i get peoples opinions as to what looks better...guard/door moulds on a vk or no guard/door moulds? anyway...let me know what u think so far Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Definitely put the moulds on!!!! Should be a good project mate, look forward to following it as you progress, I've got a soft spot for the old VKs, was the first commodore I ever owned.

I have a mint set of genuine gm vk lights and indicators as well as mint guards and bonnet too if you need front end bits

might take u up on ur offer for the guards...headlights and indicators...send a pm with a price? and ill let u know on the bonnet...ill have to assess mine further
