    Default VC Commodore (Show Car)

    Hi,

    This is my mates car, It has only just been engineered and registered. It has been off the road for 4yrs and has been completely restored, Everything on the vehicle was done at home inc everything from putting the enginein and fitting the engine to making little chrome accesories.

    I cant list every feature on the car cause ill be here all day, I think the pictures will speak for themself.

    Though the car is not complete. The wheels are not staying on the car they are only temporary and the front grill is also temporary he is waiting for the new one to arrive.

    Heres the pics i took after i detailed it:


















    Cheers,
    Scott

    That's a credit to him! Especially as he did all the work himself. Great attention to detail there.

    Thanks guys,

    Not sure who you could get to make the engine bay neat and tidy as he did all the work himself.

    He bought the bags from Burnin Customs, used to be on the Central Coast but then moved to QLD and are now out of business. He fitted them himself and they still needed some work to fit them into the car even though they were made to suit a VC.
    After he fitted them to the car he was told the burnin customs airbag kits were not much good, this is probally why they went out of business So he is now looking at upgrading to the Tubular Suspension Systems kit which are more expensive but alot better quality.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Geezarz!!! That is one of the nicest VC's i have ever seen! Someone's put in the hard yards and it's paid off.

    Prime example of how hard work and persistance can go a hell of a long way.

    Looks f'ing sensational.

    its great to see people rebuilding their cars with patience and pride!

    ive got my self a vc sle and im currently doing a full top-end rebuilt, hopefully mine will be as good as this by the time i hit my 20's!
    great work mate!
    she came up lookin like a queen!
