    Hey guys here is my work in progress, 94 Vr caprice, genuine low ks (180 from memory) went all the way from near Byron bay to Victoria to Pick this up back in 2006… Beautiful car, cherry black, fully optioned had coulsons from a Vx gts fitted already and was in all round great condition drove it home, enjoyed it for 6 months then just wanted to tidy it up a lil further, everyone knows the story and this where I am some 9 years later. Full bare metal respray in a custom ppg purple, ls1 and 6 speed conversion about to be underway. Aiming for Summernats 2017. Hopefully will get there, anyway thanx for the look  :good:

    Wow, its different but I like it!!  Mate off the gun that looks pretty bloody damn good.  Colour is such a personal thing anyway, as long as you like it.

    Not sure if you have done the LS conversion before, I did a write up a little while back summarizing what I had learned doing mine, not sure if its useful, here’s the link http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/forums/topic/vrvs-ls-engine-conversion-general-information/

    Keep the updates coming :good:
