cheers mate, always tended to lean more towards the vb rather than the vh and vc's. still got her in mum and dads garage all covered up.

Removed the tow bar , fuel tank and seat belts today . Glad i removed the tank as a couple of rubber hoses had splits in them .Don't need the tow bar and i don't think a show car gets any points for having one . All the seat belts are faded and have small frayed edges on them . Plus i will put retractable belts in the back . Not a fan of the stationary belts . I have cleaned all of the dirt and crap out of the car and have nothing left to do but get the car to the sand blasters . Hoping to get it there in the next couple of weeks .

We have a one. they are a good car ado i would pefer one with boom inside!!!!

Been doing some thinking on how far i want to go with this commodore and seeings i'm spending a sheep load on the thing i might as well go the whole hog . I think this will be a lot of fun in the right place but will also help with the presentation with the overall look .


Nothing like pressing a button and gaining an extra 150hp for 10 seconds

On another note i now have the shell ready for the sand blasters . I cut out an extra few brackets in the engine bay so it looks neater when it's repainted . also cleaned up around the front and rear windscreens by removing all the black glue stuff they use . Then busted out the wifes hair drier and took the pin stripes off the rear quarter panels .

Pulled out the quadrajet carbie from the shelf today and thought i'd give it a clean . to be honest it looked like a ball of dirty oily grease with 4 barrels in it . Spent a couple of hours on it with a stiff paint brush , some petrol and a can of carbie cleaner . it come up pretty well and just have to wait for the base gasket to turn up and i can bolt it on .

I'll be doing a full custom dash in the VB commodore . Try and get the retro kind of look going . I have found it hard to get a speedo in KPH but have found one i like . The pic is in MPH but does come in KPH . will be around $700 landed on my door from the states ......

Good stuff, I personally hate commodores......not that I mind others liking them,my brother used to have a tough VH SLE, neat as, 308 auto thing, on its guts, with interceptors,with caps and trims, pretty cool sleeper it was

Only commodore I ever seen that interceptors looked good on, they were widened and it was metallic silver, so suited nice
