With covid bringing the world to a standstill, every car event cancelled for the foreseeable future, entering the merry go round of border closures and lockdowns, like many others I put my car away into storage.
With plenty of time to think about what this meant for the future of the car scene, I decided it was time to turn my attention to building a street car that I could enjoy with or without an event.
Fast forward to October 2021, my daughter announcing she will be getting married in Feb 2022 and of course I was tasked with finding the wedding cars.
I may have been searching in the wrong place when I came across a stock VN Vacationer that was too good to pass up.
After a few to many 🥃 with some good mates the decision was made to not only buy this car but also build it to be 1 of her bridal cars for the wedding…in 5months 😬!!
I couldn't have built this car in this timeframe without the help & support of the following legends.
Ian, Vanessa & the kids
Damo & Alex Dr Drift Customs
Everyone at Pedders Newcastle & Pedders Moorebank
Chubby from Chubby’s Garage & Lowe Fabrications
Chardy & Toole from Grafton Trimming & Upholstery
Chris, Kent, Dallas & the boys from Hi-Torque Performance
Andrew at Muscle Car Tyres
Rodney from Protective Coatings Newcastle
Chris & Jess from Dr M**h Race Fuels
Jason from JESTA Transport
Crystal & Dilan from Mclaren's Auto Refinishing
And last but not least Kristy, Al, Adam, Bec, Geoff, Stewie, Tomo, Fryzee, Amy & Pritchard, Jason, Burto, Bruzzy & Matty
This is what can be achieved in 5months 💪
