The Project VH...

[Zeussy]

Hey everyone, kinda new to Just Comodores.. thought id throw up some of my Project VH, it was an sl/e, but i took some of the crome moulding off, around the windows, to just leave the one crome strip around the border, and took the bonnet strip off, but thinking im gunna put it back on soon, currently its just a rolling shell, with a nine inch, motor and box got robbed by my sister to put into her HQ tonner.. - (gurls car - mild 3.3 blue shift kitted and 2500stall traumatic...) so far its fully shaved, (yea fully sick bro!!) hint the sarcasim,
door handles, ALL GOOOONE!! haha..
door mould strips,
ariel,
exhaust recess filled,
fuel filler moved to behind the number plate,
the spare tyre well shaved, so when u look at the back, it doesnt hang down beside fuel tank, thinking maybe down the line a drop tank, or cover to go all the way accross the back..
all seams shaved, except gaurds and front apron,
spayed up in delft blue.. VY commodore stock colour, the bonnet and roof still need to be cut back and buffed, and the headlights and grill arent properly installed, just threw em in there for a foto... and the bonnet needs adjusting..
235/30r20, delux wheels, not sure what type, currently they're back on my VY daily driver, but when the VH gets going, they'l have a permanent home on it..
dash painted satin black, just have to do the steering collum, and find a nice steering wheel,
mmm thats close to it for now, ran outta money, but soon ill get back into it, let me know what you guys think, and what sort of motor should go into her, as im all over the place and cant decide, either jap 6 turbs, v6 - ehh last resort, or the big 8, probly supercharged, preferably carby, mmm unsure.. take it easy fellas.. and ladies..

[DANNY8]

Not bad mate....only thing I'd do is rub it back more and give it a good polish. Apart from that it looks tops, coming along good. Should chuck a V8 in it.....308, and poke the air cleaner out through the bonnet, would look tuff as!

[Zeussy]

yeaa im gunna buff it more, bonnet and roof need a good rubbing, thats just off the gun acrylic, just gotta get some cutting compound, soon,

yeaa u rekon v8 aswell, i think it has to be, otherwise it'd just be a waste to the 9inch, i want 6/71 blower ontop fed by twin carbs, with faily high manifolds, i want shiney metal out the bonnet!

[Zeussy]

hmm, because money's being a bit tight at the moment, im thinking of suicide'ing the rear doors, but because of how they're shaped im thinking it would only be possible to use one big fat hinge, on the top half of the door - i am still trying to decide what hinges to use.. at the moment im leaning towards the hinges on the big back door/boot of a 4WD.. not 100% sure what ones yet, more research needed..

if any of you guys have any ideas let me know what you think..

take it easy guys..

[Zeussy]

Well bored as.. let me fill you in on what i've been thinking for a motor... looking into a L98, possibly F/I, with the 6speed manual behind it, could be quite a little weapon?!! power to weight ratio could be fun...

[aphexcloud]

mmm nice and clean body work

[TUK20Z]

hey mate... what you were saying about the suicide rear doors the only way to get them engineered is to join the hinges as one to support the weight of the door so u have the right idea there...that would be diff... i want to do it to my vy...

[Zeussy]

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of that, but before I start on that, I would def. be speaking to an engineer, to see what he wanted.. lol

Your VY looks crazy as man, I love it, in the process of shaving the doors on mine, you can see the write up and pics in MY VY Thread, and was thinking to doing the door mold lines aswell, similar to this VH, but ill wait till I finish the door handles and see how keen I am, lol,


This poor thing hasn't been touched in quite a while, been concentrating on the VY more latley, but will get back into it when the newer ones upto scratch...

Sooo, you know an engineer??!! lol

Will be looking into the bag kit for the VY aswell when money permits,

[TUK20Z]

cheers man yeah i know an enginneer who is strict but fair and i never get defected since engineered... if u ever need any advice on paint or bags or anything i do most work myself with a mate we can do pretty much anything.. and im a spraypainter by trade so could come in handy... also how do i have a pic when i post a comment and do u know how to post a big pic instead of thumbnail cuz i dont lol... where bouts u from...

[Zeussy]

Ahh yeah, sweet as, you want your engineer to be sorta strict - because you/I want it done safely, so thats good, do you think i'd need and engineers cert. for shaved door handles? there is still and external entry point on it, but no lock??

Yeah I might 'pick your brain' a bit bout the painting, see where im going wrong... And probly a bit on bags too, lol, I think i've got them figured out - i'm a plant /deisel mechanic, so im familiar with air systems, but probly not with the 'air bag' technical regulations and such..

Haha, yess you could come in handy, lol!! I do need a spray painter, I can pretty much do most of the other stuff, upto priming.. but painting seems to be taking me a while to learn. lol,

Do you mean a pic next to your name? = avatar, or a pic in your post?

If you mean in your post, with the big pics - you have to upload them into an album on here, in your 'user cp' or up the top of this page where it says quicklinks, click on pictures and albums, then create an album, upload some pics, click on the pics one its uploaded, and use the bottom link, copy and paste that into your post and voila!!

Don't you just love it when fourteen year olds try to talk like some half-baked hillbilly from Arkansas?

[SquishyShoes]

Very nice car... keep us posted.

[Zeussy]

lol, thanks guys...


Unfortunately this poor gurl hasnt been touched in 'quite a while'... And I can't really see it getting touched for another 'quite a while' lol...

Lack of funds, and lack of time now that the VY - that wasn't getting touched - is getting touched, lol, that sounds wrong? but ehh you get what I mean...

[stevieVT]

hahahahaha, mate this is one sexy car!

[Zeussy]

LOL...

Cheers mate.. Hope to get it on the road soon!

Thinking now, because moneys tight, and for ease of re-registering, it might be worthwhile to just throw an injected V8, like out of a VS or something, then later on down the track upgrade to something even later model.. maybe ** hopefully something in the LS range..!!


Heres a couple of other photos, just before it went into the 'booth', lol shed.. just after it came out, and just after the first bit of buffing/polishing, and the Black dash.....

It badly needs a wash now, and another buff, just to bring it back up to a nice shiney level...

[FAT.36L]

This might make a good company car dude..lol

[Zeussy]

Ahh hell yeah, lol, just a shitty run-a-bout type.. lol, not quite tho..

Got some crazy big plans for her, if/when I get some work going on...

Been thinking of another full respray, maybe a crazy colour, or a Kandy Apple Red???!!!! lmao... dont know where I could've got that idea from now... But what ever colour it goes.. or stays.. it needs to be as SHINEY as a mofo..

Wanna help with a 2pac clear over it??!! lol..

Haha im painting the VL gun metal gray so well see how that turns out if its good i might just spray the Z my self

Aint nuthing like a $200 car to practice on

[Zeussy]

Lol, im going to 'practice' on the VY... hahaaa!

I did the original paint on the VH, but it was too dry? peely.. so I ended up getting a friend of a friend to help, but its only in acrylic..

Still thinking of two toning the VY, silver from the body line down, blue up top.. in 2 pack.. practice on the silver first, if it stuffs up, just get someone to do the blue back over it!! lol..

Pretty much only going to cost $250 for the silver/clear to do it, so seriously thinking of doing it, just need a 'booth' to do it in.. 2 pack isnt a driveway job, lol..

[FAT.36L]

Yer i dont think your misses will like if you got 2pac all over the drive way

[Zeussy]

lol.. was thinking EPA... it'l match in with the acrylic.. lol, blue, silver, black, mmm nice!!

Parents might say something about it tho.. lol

[VKCOMMO]

got any more pics.. and did you paint the door jams and behind the door trims as well??

[Goon]

looking good man, keep up the goodwork!!!!!

[LX_HATCH]

Looks very tough i love the VH, earlie commys are the best
