Mate I had a VT commondore wagon diff narrowed , a new LSD centre and stud pattern changed for the red rattler for $1500 odd , way cheaper than a 9" , half the weight , and quieter - especially in a van.
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Assume this was the VT Series 1 BW78, not the Series 2 BW80? I've got a narrowed BW78 with LSD (ex VP Conformadoor) behind the wagon. Similar cost to Blacky. No complaints so far.

I reckon it would look mint if the doors were lengthened and the rear upright leaned forward at the same angle as the tailgate , would keep them more in proportion as well .
