hey guys, this will be a build thread for our VN SS, and as it sits is how we got it from the previous owner (minus the new rocker cover gaskets and power steering rack)

Model: 1990 vn ss
Colour: Pheonix Red
Bodykit: vn ss
Engine: vn 304 (apparently stroked to 355)
Exhaust: Pacemaker tri-y headers, twin 3″ system that dumps before the diff
Brakes: STD.
Trans: what ever the vn ss came with plus a B&M shifter
Diff: STD.
Suspension: Lowered,,, not happy so will be changed
Wheels/Tyres: front 19 x 8 spoked rims with undersized tyres stretched over them, Rear 19 x 10 same deal as the front :(
Interior: Standard SS with a head unit, did have subs in the boot, but were removed for mallanats

Future plans: full nut and bolt rebuild,,, to find the rest of the dodgey dave work done by previous owner on the brakes, steering, suspension, engine and possibly the trans (claimed to be a mechanic, but has even amazed myself at the stupid shit I have found so far)

Thanks mate, love this thing, but it will be a long term project, i’m expecting 5+ years to be done properly :(
