    >bored 30thou
    >it has gas rings put on it (no unleaded replacement)

    Nice, looks tough.

    Almost mistook it for Goon's old VC in the first pic for some reason.

    thanks i wanted a 'holden' sticker for the front but wasnt allowed to, then i suggested 'commnwhore' but that sounded meh, not nice and cos im a nice girl went for the plain jane for what you see, its also kinda different i can honestly say i have never seen a car with just 'commodore'(pardon the pun)on the windscreen, im the second owner i forgot to put down as well. 99.9% has been done by partner/me il never get rid of her the other half will have to sell one of his torries before il get rid of it.

    That's cool, even better that your the 2nd owner i was after a commodore sticker but eneded up with holden heheh! if you do decided to repsray her and do the work yourself or your partner on the paint, just becareful casue its probley lead based paint, so youll need a mask

    Id like to see the engine pics if u can get some up painting the engine is always fun if its something that needs to be done + if u want get some extractors to go with the 2.5 exhasut, its better fuel eco
