My daily driven VH

[4PLAYN]

Well soon to be anyway, thats after i get my licence back

Brand: Holden
Model: Comodore (February 82)
Badge: SL

Engine: 3.3 litre inline 6 (LD1)
EFI or Carby: Carby
Transmission: M40 3 speed automatic
Gears (diff): GU4 - live axel single spinner

Body style: Sedan - 790865M
Trim: Vinal creame/brown seats and trim - 1989-94V
Body Color: Yellow - ID005-B
Suspension: Stock standard
Wheels: "Performance" brand wheels
Power steering: Yes

Engine modifications: Gas system installed, performance oil leaks ..... makes the air slip around the engine faster creating less friction making the car go faster

Plans for the future: I plan to get an exhaust lined up for the car with some extractors, lower the car a bit, get some mags for the car, VS seats installed on VH rails and all (well most) trim in the car retrimmed and installed, clean the underbody, degrease everything and paint and make sure that everything underneath is where its suppost to be. Also to maintain the car as an undefectable car

Pictures: see attachments

Cheers

It actually looks reasonably straight. Good to see a VH with a straight stone tray. Rare as..

Get the VK indicators. They much better the the big horrible orange ones....

[4PLAYN]

Yeah i need a few parts for the VH .....

a good condition rear passenger light, clear side indicators, drivers top window channel, either the rips in the vinal seats retrimmed or get VS ones modified to suit the VH Get the gas tank updated (last tested in 1990 ... ran out in 2000) ... also need to get the bar that holds the boot up on the passenger side ... i hate it when you move the wooden block thing and it smacks you ing hte head.... might also need a top section to the dash to hide or replace the plitted one .... looks fairly ugly ...

Just a reminder .... i pulled off the passenger side door strip as i was washing the car. I dont know if it looks better with or without the strip. Also my bonnet and doors are slightly ajar aswell as the boot ...

hehe Nice VH man... Stick to the VN's though

[quick308]

not bad mate. give it a good paint job and she'll look sweet as?

[4PLAYN]

Yeah $900 for a closed door spray professionally done. Don't know if i should redo it yellow or go back to bare metal then primer then maroon over silver. Obviously the full respray will need the insides of the door jambs done aswell but i dont want to pull apart another car. Closed door spray in yellow?

Lowered on kings

Adjustable panhard

17 inch wheels of some sorts

exhaust (probably stevo's)

Disc'd diff will try for LSD aswell

These are plans for the next 6 months.

Nothing in a great hurry at the moment. Wouldnt mind getting the car looking pretty first

Adam

p.s. Cheers for the comments guys ... keep them coming

[Goon]

Very nice mate, a good starting point to, even when u get your liecence back.. just keep it this time

If you had your own tools for painting, you could possibly cut that price in half depending on the type of paint..

Do you have drums on the rear? i do myself and find them alot better then disc

Need some cheap mod ideas mate give us a buzz and i'll help you out

[SUSPECT]

Do you have drums on the rear? i do myself and find them alot better then disc

how can drum brake's be better than disc brake's ??

[4PLAYN]

Thats what i was thinking. IMO and probably 100's more opinions, discs are better. bigger the brakes the better stopping you have.

Cheap mods? Shoot away :P

On the point of doing the painting myself, i have got a air tank and lines and a gun, also got about 20 litres of thinners, but i would just like the satisfaction that the job is done properly. Also if its not good i can take it back and say "fix it" :thumbs up

I got a SLR5000 Scoop that i was going to fit to a mates Torana but due to a minor bingle with the back of a truck i still have it hanging up in the shed. Should i fit the scoop before painting or would it be a pointless modification?

Thanks all

Adam

[Lumps of cheese]

Nice mate, i used to have a vh on gas, pretty much the same as yours.
I agree with 1vngal, lose the daggy orange indicators for the vk clear ones.

[V-ahhh]

[CALAIS 6]

last time i saw it it didnt but never know with adam things magically happen

[4PLAYN]

it needs petrol ... it cranks over and we borrowed a fuel tank from work with a small pump on it and she started .... blew the cobwebs out the exhaust. She runs, needs a good degrease and a tune up. also the fan belt tightened a little aswell as the exhaust flange gasket.
