Quick project [no really, it is...] - VS Commo

Post by F3ARED »

Yes i know weve all heard it before, but i need to get it done by the end of the year and considering the shape it started in, its actually moving along quite quick...

Anyway. Lady friend has 09 Holden Lemon, sorry Daewoo Viva, sorry ill get it right one day...holden viva, thats it. Its McFucked. Its done 50k and the inhibitor on the auto has gone twice, amongst other problems. So thats going bye byes.

She wants an MPS3 but for the time being just needed a cheap hack to get around [things got out of hand ay?]. Her dad had this sitting in his backyard. When i say sitting, i mean its been driven once in 8yrs. On the plus side it only has 180k on the clock...

And what the interior looked like after a cat had lived in it for said 8yrs...

Pretty f*#cking feral. I hate cats.

Epic ebay bargain - $90 for a complete, IMMAC VS Berlina interior. SOLD!

Image

Bodywork started

Aim is to have it painted and assembled by mid Nov. Actually not as much to do as it looks. Got it running properly a few weeks ago, engine is m-i-n-t and using andys test method [skids], it does em. Biggest issue is roadworthy - needs all new front end bushes, rack, p/s pump. Pick a part here we [or i, knowing tash shell be standing around supervising] come.

This heap of s*#t got finished a while ago.

Unfortunately it lasted all of 3weeks before the headgaskets blew. Some research later and it looks like whoever had this first FRIED it a few times, pretty much rendering it f*#cked. So we bought this.

Image

Yes, thats a charger on top.

Engine swap finished. It even whines like a real charger :lol:
