Model: 83' VH
Engine: 202
Gearbox: trimatic
Exhaust:stock pea shooter
Suspension: Kings super lows all round with monroe gt shocks, nolathane adjustable strut tops and panard bar
Brakes: stock disc drum
Rear Axle: stock 3.08 salisbury
Wheels: stock 14" but have some 16X8 ROH chicanes to go on once they have a refurb
Interior: stock blue vynal
other mods: clear indicators pioneer head unit and chrome dress up parts on engine
power: 5rwhp
future mods: Repaint, retrim and new driveline unsure of what exactly but leaning more towards 308/355 turbo 350 combo

Car is currently off the road getting much needed rust repairs and a repaint but it may take a while. I need to find a new front left guard and door but otherwise the car is pretty straight so hopefully not to much work to do there.
Going to go for a lambo color called "blu cephus" which is a pearly baby blue color with grey trim inside and out. i want to keep it older style with pretty much stock body with era appropriate wheels (which i beleive the roh are)
but with a bit of grunt for the drags but still be able to get out and cruise it when i want to., not a show car and not a go car but a good balance with a bit of both.

Its got 146000 on the clock but photos do hide a bit. its had a sideswipe down the passenger side which had a substandard repair and typical commodore rust at bottom of front and rear screens which has lead to a bit in the boot aswell but nothing to major.
Its a good canvas for what i want to achieve so time will see how ell it comes out.

wheel spec i assume u mean? they are 16x8 3 peice and will have 225 front with 235 or 245 rears depends on whats gunna fit best with a vl diff under the bum.

i want at least 2 of the outside hoops/rim what ever you call them replaced but if the other 2 dont polish up that good i will replace all 4 so they will look brand new. The only down side in doing that is cost but with $70 difference between polishing and replacing i might just replace them all.
