I have owned both.

VN.....harsh motor..last forever.

VL...sweet motor...need to look at some repair work..ie head gaskets..etc.

Paint work on the VL is a lot better.

Most VN's have bad fade marks on DUCO.

Series 2 VN are not bad....series 1 has water coolant issues.

GO VP ....VN was the first and the worst....

VL was last of the series...this is why they are more sort after.

Just my thoughts......

GO VL.......at least they still turn heads.

i own a VL, i know a few people that owns VN's, get the VL. the only time i wouldn't recomend a VL for a daily is if its a turbo that you are modifying also.

VLT+mods=more time off the road than on it, literally....

VN will get you less attention than the (in)famous VL, and a VN has waaaay more room in it. Plus the interior is... 'good' isnt the right word, better than the VL thats for sure. Plus you can leave a VN anywhere and not have to worry about it because frankly, who cares? its a VN

The VL dash can be quite a lot of fun if you pick up a problem child... and good luck getting the air con to work

Had a VN 1988 v6 manual(good fun tank slapper). Did the job, tip though, make sure coolant hoses and heater hoses are replaced!

If you had less than half a tank going around a round about motor would die for a sec cos the tank has no baffles, the little things!

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
