    Default Please Help - what do I do with my new car?

    Guys - I need help. The photo's below are my latest project. Trouble is, I don't know where to post them and I need your help'

    Do I:

    Post them in My Ride under VB-VK?
    Post them under VB-VK for mechanical and bodywork advice?
    Post them in "The Pub" in the thread "Rustiest Commodore you've ever seen?
    Seek advice from some of our sponsors to see what help they can suggest?
    Advertise the Starfire and Traumatic to some wanker who thinks they have potential?
    Ring the local Council to get it the hell out of the bush opposite my home?
    Ring Simms metal and see if they are interested in the scrap metal value?

    Ohhh, decisions, decisions......

    Believe it or not, I actually managed to get quite a few suspension bits out of this thing before it was burnt and after overhauling them with new bushes, fitted them to my VR.

    I pulled the front K member and used it as a dummy to manufacture my own removal and replacement tools for the bushes, then tested them out on the K member before tackling my car.
