Go onto the www.jhp.com.au site, into the custom ute section & press next right to the next. They will show you a VX Grange front end on a ute.

I hope this helps you out somehow!

A grange front end on a wagon would look very very nice I reckon. I have thought about nti numerous times to give it some more class.

Havent thought about the bonnet - I would simply go to a few yards and compare the statesman/caprice/grange setup compared with standard.

To fit the statesman / Caprice / Grange front you only need

Bonnet
bonnet catch leaver.
Headlamps ( If you start with a VT you don't need to change )
Bumper bar.
Grille and support bracket.
Fog Lamps and an Auto elec to wire it up.
