Good job mate...cars looking sweet! Yea i got quoted $700 from a bodyshop to do the strips...f*** that lol. I did them myself for less than $30...takes time though as iv said

Hey guys, Iv had a change of heart...decided to cancel the bodywork the other day and instead try to sell the car and buy a vy berlina or calais or a vz exec, berlina or calais instead. It was a big decision but i know its a good one for me :) I will start advertising it publicly in about 2...

Ohhh i see. Yeah i had to get a new cap because i got it back from a service last week and the mechanic filled the radiator resevoir tank up, i drove it home and within 5 minutes there was water leaking everywhere, it was coming from the overflow pipe. I rang the mechanic and told him what...

Hey mate, heres a thread with some instructions on how to get it done: https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/how-remove-sikaflex-panels.111903 To leave minimal sikaflex you basically just have to try to cut as close to the paint as you can...be very carefull though. I had a mate with me...

Ahh thanks mate. The old cap also said "Only use on a 135 Kpa system"....and the new cap is only 100 KPa. So im hoping the new cap will do the job...

Hey guys, I just got a new chrome radiator cap because the old one wasnt holding in the pressure properly. The old stock radiator cap was 15psi, max 135 KPa...the new cap is a 15psi, max 100 KPa one. The new one fits a treat and is made for holdens...but im just wondering what KPa means and if...

Clean ride mate...nice to see a black exec too! How much did it cost to get the chrome handbrake and selector installed? Iv got them lying around here ready to go in lol...

Good job! Yea i had to use 2 wheels because there was alot of sikaflex left over and i wanted a fresh wheel to finish it all off with...did you use 2?

Haha yea man there coming off dont worry...gunna get some black spoked 19's in a few months and chuch SSL's in the rear too. Prolly around tax return time lol And yepp its just gunna be a cruiser...no point in stuffing around with performance on a v6 imo. I just want it running smoothly...

Thanks man...yea its a really good building block! Watch me slowly transform it into a quality looking/sounding car! :yeah:

Hahaha thanks man....yea their bloody ugly things!! God job on buying the s pack...thats a bargain! The hunt paid off lol. With all the money iv spent buying stuff for my car in the last couple of weeks i could have probably bought a vy calais or an sv6....buuuut im enjoying modding my car...

*Bump* All door moulds are off and everything has been debadged apart from the bootlid holden badge. I have vy calais front and rear bumpers and vz calais tail lights ready to go in...exciting times ahead!! Also got Iridium spark plugs for $10 each lol, so their going in on the next service...

Yeah thats what i was thinking...i ended up buying a vy calais front and rear bumper anyways :)

Hey guys, i was just about to purchase a vy calais rear bar but it turns out i can get the vy monaro rear bar cheaper. I also have a set of vz calais tail lights ready to go in. Just a few questions: Will the vy monaro rear bar fit onto my exec? Same mount points etc? Do the vz calais tail...

Executive>Berlina>Calais Theres big diferences between the vy/vz v6 range...body, head and tailights, interior and engine to name a few. In regards to the executives, you will find that some vy exec's have black trim (door moulds/strips, numberplate surround and parts of the bodykit) where as...

Here you are mate...finished taking off the strips last week :) http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vy-vz-wk-wl-v2/117439-micks-vy-commodore.html

Yepp it burns the sikiflex away to dust...works good as! Just remember not to keep it on one spot for too long otherwise you'll burn away the clear coat on the paint. Have a look at how i went: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vy-vz-wk-wl-v2/117439-micks-vy-commodore.html

Im due for a service soon and im looking at getting Iridium plugs but cant find them for sale online anywhere... Also, can anyone recommend some quality leads to get?

Here ya go mate...theres always some availible :) Pinstripe Remover Wheel adhesive tape pin stripe remove - eBay Paint, Body Supplies, Tools, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 07-Feb-10 19:11:45 AEDST)

Yea mate its the same for all models. The goo gone was only used as a finisher after i used the wheel on the sikiflex...using it alone would do nothing to help remove it lol

It takes awhile...prolly 2-3 hours on each side depending on how much sikiflex is left after the strips are off. I did mine with a caramel wheel last week...looks great!

Finally got around to doing one side of the door moulds with the caramel wheel...only took me 3 hours lol Before: After i finished taking the other sides moulds off (I was using a bodyboard as a knee rest lol): 1 door complete: Side complete: I had to buy another wheel off ebay...

Yea the caramel wheel gets off any type of hard setting adhesive like sikiflex. I just finished doing one side of my car with one...had to buy a second to start the other side lol

Black Automotive Glue= Sikaflex...lol

Will do...im also taking off the door moulds/strips so ill post up photos of how i went with both in my rides section

Ahh cheers mate :) I was looking everywhere for tips n stuff but this should do...i shouldnt have any problems getting it off, just wanted to know where to start and what to look out for. Im taking out the stock plastic inserts in my front bumper and im gunna line the back of it with some...

Got my caramel wheel in the post today from ebay...just look up Pinstripe Remover Wheel and you'll find it. Also brought a small bottle of Goo Gone which ill use after the wheel has done its work...

Just bought a Pinstripe Remover Wheel and a bottle of Goo Gone off ebay...hopefully they come in next week so i can have a crack at these door moulds before it goes into the bodyshop for its facelift... Also thinking of lining the back of the front bumper with some black mesh instead of those...

Thanks mate...yeah i might head back to the joint and get the rear springs cut instead of chucking SSL's in. Gunna put the 19's on and get the guards rolled then see how it sits. Also gotta put some pedders shocks in too cause its abit too bumpy at the moment! Finally got the qoute for the...
