You’re doing a killer job cleaning it up and keeping it og. I’d probably change the pipes for more clearance cos I know how much low pipes suck. And get them black ceramic coated to keep them tidy. Love the progress mate 👌🏼
Bonnet, Wind screen , next your going to tell me my El Comino is called a UTE . Love the slang you guys use way more elegant than us Yanks . This stumbled onto your channel like it keep it up.
First of all great vids and a great car you have Love the sound of the motor and how you’ve kept it !!! Probably next thing I’d do is a shift kit Keep up the great work and vids
I always love seeing this car come up in my recommendations, You're one of the few that don't go balls to the wall with these old classics and chuck big rims or a double high rise with a cow setup.
The vn is coming a long nicely👍 I would do the roof lining paint the hinges re do the trans cooler lines paint the bars fix up the paint on the bonnet. Keep up the vids mate good work 👍👍
If it was my car is get the bumpers done first as that's a simple thing to organise/get but at the same time as doing that I would tackle that trans cooler as having the front bar off give you that little extra play room and. Why not kill two birds with one stone but at the same time with the trans I'd be more looking into the shift kit and diff gears as that's a more crucial part for the smother drive what's everyone else thinking? Note: Im not an expert on any of this stuff just a young car enthusiast
I’m loving this content on the VN, the car looks and sounds great. I really like the factory BT1 theme you are going with. The next two mods I would make would be sort out the air intake, that pod filter must be hot air inducting and costing you power. Also an original radio, would complete the factory look in the interior.
If I owned your car Chris I would get some HDT headlight covers or genuine original ones and remove the shift light as your not sitting on limiter or running a manualised auto. Plus it will clean it up for the best. I would also match the bumpers MX grey but your already ontop of that 😊
I’d do the roof lining that’s screaming at me while you ask what to do next. The car is coming along nicely. I bought mine to flip but the more I do on it and seeing yours come along it’s going to stay a while.
@@MindieJ There is a company here in the states called Llumar, and they make clear ceramic tint so you can put it on the windscreen too. I worked at a tint shop for a bit and it was mostly for moms who were tired of burning their ass on leather seats lol. Down there the UV is so harsh I'm sure that blocking most of it would do wonders for the interiors over the years.
@@Nicwatt I gave up cause I couldn't find one under about 250 🤦♂️ managed to get 1 for 100 but the seller tried ripping me off as when I got it, it didn't work, opened it up and it was all broken inside, luckily he refunded the money, claimed he had no idea, it's still sitting here too lol I tried to send it back but he never send the return postage stuff lol that was 1 yr ago 😂 Anyway I got a monster tacho instead 👌
Really nice car mate I used to have a vq statesman very similar body to the vn im spewing I sold it..I reckon what you should do next is detail the engine bay just dress it up abit nice fuel lines..after market reservoirs etc im currently doing my ve clubby got a ls3 427 stroker..keep the vids coming dude 👌👌
Window tint maybe?, someone said door speakers but who needs speakers when you have a v8, maybe a led headlight conversion kit, I can’t think of anything mechanical since you’ve pointed out some in the video already, a cool classic look would be like some really thick white walls
Go the mighty VN. Sounds mint. I'd put 17x7.5" interceptors on it, because I still have some in the shed. The offset needs a VL diff to make them fit, so yeh, diff first.
@@MindieJ Haha you're spot on - Hot wheels cars is the best description I can think of in regards to how they look... I'm glad you're going to stick with 15s , I really like how you go for factory original with everything from grill to steering wheel, it looks mint and sounds phenomenal I'm a Ford V8 man in general but I'd proudly own and drive your beast
Thank god someone else isn’t into reverse cow scoops! In my opinion I really don’t like the transmissions in these commodores, they are just not lively enough for me, and it feels like you really have to work them hard to make them respond.
Yay! Another VN vid!👍🏻 Nicely done (once again), can’t wait for more... Next to do suggestions? Piss that god awful pod filter off and get a proper CAI or OTR kit? Cheers 🤘🏼
Hey mate watch all your videos awesome stuff!! You after a video I'll pay you to take my turbo Barra out and fit new one I'll pay for everything love your work Rohan 👍
my stepgrandfather had a maroon vn wagon and it was tboned a few weeks before he died, i really want to get one now as a project vehicle, it was both a hoon mobile and grandpa spec at the same time haha
Mate i have the exact same set up in a vr clubby but with 3.9s and a shift kit and it fuvkin hoots you will love it with the extra mods. Sounds so much luke my car too ;)
The 4 inch Ceptors wheels are cv8 Monaro spare wheels I’d get the 5.7 badge aftermarket replacement that goes where the 5.0 badge goes They look like the factory ones. Also My next modification would be a proper auto like a manualised th400
Always good to see the old VN Commodore about, don't see that many anymore. And this one looking like a proper sleeper, no other unnecessary visual mods on it, keeping looking nice & simple with a good old LS1 up front, sounding good there too. Last time i was in a VN was 12 or so years ago up here in victoria when i was on holiday a few years before i moved here, aunt & uncle had one & let it go after it'd put a bit almost 400k on the clock, with it's second engine that had somewhere over 100k on that motor. Basic silver executive sedan, usual 3.8 & 4 speed, with a calais grille & cheapo hubcaps on it, didn't think much of it back then. But now, glad i remember it still & had done a skid in their driveway in it too once as me & my uncle had gotten back to his place. That's my story about being around one, when they were pretty cheap & easy to find, now a decade later they cost a decent price for even basic ones. Take good care of this here nice machine & have good fun with it while you have it, when you end up selling it on hopefully it'll go to a good home.
Interceptors are at 4 or 4.5 for space saver. As you said factory fit oem. Worked at holden spares for 12 years. Very common upgrade with drag racers. Sold tons of them. Love your vids bro. Cheers
Hey mate those 15x4 interceptors are Monaro space saver spare wheels they are black from factory. You can also get 18x4 VT GTS space saver spare wheels that came out in the hsv Monaro’s which are yellow factory. I ran a pair of the 18x4 VT GTS space savers from the hsv Monaro on my VK as front runners had them painted in the factory VT GTS caprice silver of course.
Next thing I'd do is shift kit the box and add diff gears. Followed by adding some suspension work maybe adding a set of progressive springs and shocks like koni reds to match. Or get shockworks on board to make up a set of tailored coilovers. With some components from show time fabrication. And to compliment the build I would finish off with a haltech system including a ic7 to make tuning and data logging a breeze then enjoy the car and the hard work and put it all to the test. Unsure what suspension and engine management platform you are currently using though.
HI mate i used to own VN ex chaser and i built a 355 twin thottle body engine and box for it i went with 3,45 gears for the diff and it was great on the street freeways etc also had sticky 18,s on rear i think 3.9 gears the engine will be reving it nut out on freeway but its your car.
Nitrous and a few sets, you won't do it. Really though, roof liner, hunt down the steering wheel and get those gears in. You are smashing it mate. Think the radio silence is because you are all over it. Good content bro!
Good stuff mate - pretty much putting all original badges including 5L V8 let alone Holden badges or anything - whatever you choose mate it's all looking absolutely fantastic keep up the good work buddy... I am from personally myself supporting whatever you do with your VN Commodore and I love all your videos regarding your Commodore great stuff mate... Always get good support from me... I have a 2001 " Blue AU series ll Ford Falcon SR sedan .. 4 litre intech straight 6... 4-speed T-bar automatic... Also decided to get a Fairmont Ghia leather T-bar with chrome button... Reminding me from the old T-bar out of the EA Falcon series for the good memories... She's a good car... Next time for another car I am probably going to end up saving up to buy another EB series Falcon of some sort... Preferably a manual... otherwise will see... My Dad had a EA series Ford Fairmont Ghia in 1990 as a lease car and that's the main reason why I might end up so than one like that for myself next time... Anyway mate keep up the good work... Always be looking forward to seeing more content what's what you do with your VN Commodore😎... Take care
@@MindieJ haha nah its really cheap to make suggestions lol. But serious note its already very clean, already has a LS, already has a decent cam and convertor, youve already mentioned your doing diff gears. Depends what you wanna do with it and the budget you wanna try stick to because it already ticks a lot of boxes
@@MindieJ if you happy with power after doing diff gears could look into upgrading stereo, keeping it subtle so it doesnt look like a p player just got his first tax return.
Stealth pro ratchet shifter, Diff gears, shift kit, trans cooler lines, roof lining, grey gutter trims and qaurter window trims, sneaky diff dump exhaust but leave the tailpipe as a dummy and then possibly a mid rise intake stay under bonnet and retune make those shift pressures better and neatin up any messy tune gremlins thats it wasnt keen on the grey garnish and grill but hey its your car might look better when its all the same keep up the good work man.
@@MindieJ Showing my age. But back in 97 I picked up a 1990 S pack 3.8 ltr 5sp,from Salters of Moorooka Bris.(the golden mile we used to call it back then) traded in a 4 door SL Torana 3.3ltr trimatic can you believe to get it. AGC Finance.LOL.Young and stupid. Drove that thing over here to WA back in 1998. Anyway to cut a long story short. A young bloke parked beside me in the exact same car the other day with an LS1 in it. Really nice example. I allways loved the Red and Grey pin stripe. Probably the closest you could get to t h e VNSS of the time disregarding the Berlinas a and Calais of the time. But Very hard to find these days. Like your attention to detail and keeping them as stock as you can. I'm a firm believer in seeing more rubber under the the guards from this era. Cheers
The bumpers look good as is, otherwise you'd have too much grey. Next thing to fix is the roof lining. Not much more to do with the car after that except the shift kit and maybe get her tuned?

The bars are supposed to be raw black plastic on the executive, no paint. As for the skinny wheels, you're correct, spare wheel from Monaro
Raw grey*
Put a bit of blue tack on the back of each bottom corner of the rear number plate. Stops the plate rattling when you drive or close the boot.
Or foam tape
There is literally nothing I'd change on it..
Loving this car more and more every time!
haha thanks man

Another great video, mindiej.
good times good times haha

black/ suede roof lining and shift light of some sort 😍
It has a shift light I literally talk about it in this very video 😂

love your vid brother.
Glad you enjoyed it
Clear blinker on the front , nice ride bud
it has clear indicators
Been a journey brother. Good to see ya driving her.
we aint even getting started yet haha

thanks Brett yeh im on the hunt for a factory radio
Bang on with the front runners.
The came as a spare wheel in the monaro’s
I thought so 🤙🏼
And as far as where to go next with the car, once you have grey bars it will be done. Cant improve perfection. 👌🏻
I get the feeling it’s far from done...plenty more to come👍🏻
vn should have the adjustable kick down cable!
If I owned your car Chris I would get some HDT headlight covers or genuine original ones and remove the shift light as your not sitting on limiter or running a manualised auto. Plus it will clean it up for the best. I would also match the bumpers MX grey but your already ontop of that 😊
i actually removed HDT headlight covers off this, they didnt suit
I’d do the roof lining that’s screaming at me while you ask what to do next.
The car is coming along nicely. I bought mine to flip but the more I do on it and seeing yours come along it’s going to stay a while.
Yeh I also bought this to flip but I think I’ll keep it for a while
I have the same problem with the hood sagging down and the wipers hit it, I just put washers under the hinge to push it up.
Whatever you gotta do to get it to work haha
Clear UV tint to keep the trims and interior from baking, or tuck the headers.
tuck the headers is a must but tint i removed when i got this car, not a fan

@@MindieJ that’s fair enough, you can just swap the centre’s over which is what I did so I have matching kms to my vn but now have a rev taco
The roof lining is a must!
Yeh hard to find someone that isn’t going to stuff all the trims pulling it apart
Really nice car mate I used to have a vq statesman very similar body to the vn im spewing I sold it..I reckon what you should do next is detail the engine bay just dress it up abit nice fuel lines..after market reservoirs etc im currently doing my ve clubby got a ls3 427 stroker..keep the vids coming dude 👌👌
fuel rails definitely on the cards
Roof liner and paint the bumpers Bro! Cheers
thanks Alan
Looks on point mate, keeping the old Aussie icon alive and well. Is that Ballan Rd there around 9:30?
That is correct 😄
Yeah the Werribee industrials 👌🏼
😉😉
Manual conversion or shift kit would be the next thing I would do
shift kit definitely
Do the head liner
roof lining seems to be the most popular opinion haha
The first thing I would be doing would be putting a six speed in it
Window tint maybe?, someone said door speakers but who needs speakers when you have a v8, maybe a led headlight conversion kit, I can’t think of anything mechanical since you’ve pointed out some in the video already, a cool classic look would be like some really thick white walls
tint and shitty LED lights are one of the first things i removed from this car, not a fan
Go the mighty VN. Sounds mint.
I'd put 17x7.5" interceptors on it, because I still have some in the shed. The offset needs a VL diff to make them fit, so yeh, diff first.
yeh not really a fan of those bigger steelies
@@MindieJ gotta have that profile.
I would put a high rise carbe out the bonnet and put it on walkies 🤤🥵
that sounds bogan as haha
@@MindieJ lol... Bruh. Don't forget the wonky jet pilot and fox racing sticker on the back window
6x9's in the doors
This is the best suggestion so far 😂
Nooooooo
Definitely grey bars and new badges, and fix the rubbing rear passenger.
All on the ‘to do list’ 😄
Love this car mate attention to detail on that note get the seat fabric nipped up lol na killing it
Yeh that’s next thing for the VN
if i owned the car i would chuck on some nice rims, maybe a set of walkie walkingshaw wheels or even some gts-r trispoke wheels.
Mmmmm never been a fan of big wheels on older cars
@@MindieJ 110% agree with that statement. Yet so many people do it and I think it ruins the whole look

Intake, tune, diff, done
2 of those it already has
Looking very nice bro I just got a vn 3.8l v6 ubuick got her running just need to make her look nice
Goodluck with it man 😄🤙🏼
Invisible caravan and VE GTS Wheels 😂😂😂😂
spew!
Please no reverse cow, can’t stand those in my opinion!
Nah no way haha I hate them also, looks like a fridge on the bonnet
Agreed it'll ruin the oem+ look you got going on.
Never in a million years would I have a reverse cowl on a car 🐄
Thank god someone else isn’t into reverse cow scoops! In my opinion I really don’t like the transmissions in these commodores, they are just not lively enough for me, and it feels like you really have to work them hard to make them respond.
Yeh th35O eventually done the track
I own Ford's ba, ed and the NC Fairlane

will finish off the exterior nicely

Next thing to do is enjoy it looks and sounds mint
thanks Joshua
This car is so clean, Id just want to see more of it. Would like to see some dyno pulls maybe even a few passes down the quarter. Great YT btw
dyno it needs anyway to fix the stalling issue, it will be going down the strip 100% when shit opens up again here in melbourne

as in respray? theres nothing wrong with the paint
Don’t vouch me on it but I’m pretty sure the 4” / 4.5” front runners are a manaro spare /space saver!
yeh i said that in the video
The 4 inch Ceptors wheels are cv8 Monaro spare wheels
I’d get the 5.7 badge aftermarket replacement that goes where the 5.0 badge goes
They look like the factory ones.

Always good to see the old VN Commodore about, don't see that many anymore. And this one looking like a proper sleeper, no other unnecessary visual mods on it, keeping looking nice & simple with a good old LS1 up front, sounding good there too. Last time i was in a VN was 12 or so years ago up here in victoria when i was on holiday a few years before i moved here, aunt & uncle had one & let it go after it'd put a bit almost 400k on the clock, with it's second engine that had somewhere over 100k on that motor. Basic silver executive sedan, usual 3.8 & 4 speed, with a calais grille & cheapo hubcaps on it, didn't think much of it back then. But now, glad i remember it still & had done a skid in their driveway in it too once as me & my uncle had gotten back to his place. That's my story about being around one, when they were pretty cheap & easy to find, now a decade later they cost a decent price for even basic ones. Take good care of this here nice machine & have good fun with it while you have it, when you end up selling it on hopefully it'll go to a good home.

Chuck ur car on dyno the tuner be able play with shift point parameters to shift better for ya mate. Nice car love it 👌
Yeh I will eventually
Paint the bumpers to match grill and the rear garnish. Then diff gears.
good plan Mark
Keen to race my 360rwk 3.8 Buick turbo
I can't believe how much these are worth now. It's insane. They were dirt cheap 10 years ago but now cost more than they did 30 years ago
pretty much any old commodore/falcon in the same boat
Id be doing the headliner, oil cooler lines, and cold air intake. Just what id do. Love the vids 👌
thanks Sanji
Yes the mans back with the vn 🔥🔥
WE BACK!!
Next thing I'd do is shift kit the box and add diff gears. Followed by adding some suspension work maybe adding a set of progressive springs and shocks like koni reds to match. Or get shockworks on board to make up a set of tailored coilovers. With some components from show time fabrication.
And to compliment the build I would finish off with a haltech system including a ic7 to make tuning and data logging a breeze then enjoy the car and the hard work and put it all to the test.
Unsure what suspension and engine management platform you are currently using though.
You’re way behind haha this video is over a year old
Love the car bro, very clean example..
Im currently building a cruiser vn group a replica.
Thanks man and Goodluck with your project
Definitely do diff gears and keep us updated awesome rig.
That's the plan! :)
I would probably get some rims then side-mount supercharge it then get a tune done
everyone in the comments seems to have a lot more money than me
HI mate i used to own VN ex chaser and i built a 355 twin thottle body engine and box for it i went with 3,45 gears for the diff and it was great on the street freeways etc also had sticky 18,s on rear i think 3.9 gears the engine will be reving it nut out on freeway but its your car.
Very rarely will this ever see the freeway and with overdrive it will be fine revs wise
Next thing would be a new roof lining for sure.
Yeh hard to find someone that isn’t going to stuff all the trims pulling it apart
Nitrous and a few sets, you won't do it.
Really though, roof liner, hunt down the steering wheel and get those gears in. You are smashing it mate. Think the radio silence is because you are all over it. Good content bro!

@@MindieJ if you happy with power after doing diff gears could look into upgrading stereo, keeping it subtle so it doesnt look like a p player just got his first tax return.
@@marktilden1129 yeh happy with the power for now I want to race it as is forst, nah no stereos for me never been into that stuff
Stealth pro ratchet shifter, Diff gears, shift kit, trans cooler lines, roof lining, grey gutter trims and qaurter window trims, sneaky diff dump exhaust but leave the tailpipe as a dummy and then possibly a mid rise intake stay under bonnet and retune make those shift pressures better and neatin up any messy tune gremlins thats it wasnt keen on the grey garnish and grill but hey its your car might look better when its all the same keep up the good work man.
This VN keeps looking better and better every time
Thanks Matt 😄
Glad you put the original Grill on. Never been a fan of the letterbox grills everyone put on these cars.
You and me both!
@@MindieJ Showing my age. But back in 97 I picked up a 1990 S pack 3.8 ltr 5sp,from Salters of Moorooka Bris.(the golden mile we used to call it back then) traded in a 4 door SL Torana 3.3ltr trimatic can you believe to get it. AGC Finance.LOL.Young and stupid. Drove that thing over here to WA back in 1998. Anyway to cut a long story short. A young bloke parked beside me in the exact same car the other day with an LS1 in it. Really nice example. I allways loved the Red and Grey pin stripe. Probably the closest you could get to t h e VNSS of the time disregarding the Berlinas a and Calais of the time. But Very hard to find these days. Like your attention to detail and keeping them as stock as you can. I'm a firm believer in seeing more rubber under the the guards from this era.
Cheers
Definitely a High Rise intake on that thing💯
yuck, want it to look inconspicuous
The bumpers look good as is, otherwise you'd have too much grey. Next thing to fix is the roof lining. Not much more to do with the car after that except the shift kit and maybe get her tuned?
If you do end up getting new grey bars, I’d be interested in buying your current black bars.
Love your your thanks mate
thanks Jake no worries ill keep you in mind
Diff gears 100% for the next mod.
I have 3.7s in my manual 6.0 VN and they are spot on 👌🏻
yeh i think 3:9's with the auto will be perfect
