The one thing I truely hated about VKs is definitely the shitty headlights as they always leaked and never gave enough light when out driving long distance. Solid car otherwise
The aftermarket ones suck too, leak straight away, get condensation and just look shit. LED globes help mildy, but make sure they fit inside because otherwise the rubber caps on the back don't go back on properly and you get condensation again. Higher amp alternator may help too?
Kinda, since the emissions ratings changed in the vks I think the newer ones that got the emissions control would have a harder time. But If you just got it smog checked it would probably run clean enough anyway to get through rego

I could think of a couple of things that trump the headlights.
@ very true as I’ve had a couple of VK’s but I think that were its worst idea ever, lots of good things still about the car
Easy fix nowadays though

LED globes overload the fuse panel and cause it to melt.
What oil goes in the gearbox?
90 weight gearbox oil.
Are you planning to register this car as they technically aren't allowed to be registered with a blue 253
Ahh here we go the TH-cam police

That's OK he just bought a tin of black paint.
Yeah he’s gonna have trouble registering it for sure. Hopefully he has a good inspector.
Does any body care about that stuff anymore, it's not a common car anymore and it will go on club reg I would guess.
