my vh sl/e project

[oldschool 2]

Hey guys this is my new toy while my lc torana is getting built i needed something to keep me out of trouble and a mate had this sitting around doing nothing for the last year so i kept buging him to he sold it to me
its a 253 4 speed vh sl/e needs some tidying up but runs good.

first time putting up pics hope it works

[leigh 7005]

dude is your friend on drugs? lol he left that just siting around. thats a nice looking vk its got alot of potental

[Tom_1569]

Very nice looking VH, not a great fan of the colour. would like a lot tougher in another colour. Whats with the exhaust? it looks about 5 inches from the pic lol.

[eurekamad94]

dayum that could look really sexy cleaned up a bit

it's like a vk crossed with a walky :S

[Tom_1569]

it's like a vk crossed with a walky :S

How do you figure?
Its a VH, with VK Bumpers and indicators, aswell as a Vk Rear skirt, the rest is VH, possibly VK Spoiler/Grill but looks VH to me.

Am I the only one that picked up its not a VK but a VH?

[oldschool 2]

Thanks boys, the tip is shit i want it gone but sounds tough
the colour is growing on me i think with the bumpers and chrome sle wheels it could look classy in a 80's kinda way
but i really want the green interior back in it its so ugly yet i like it
car needs work but while my lc is getting built it will keep me off the streets and in the garage.
what do you think i should do keep the r8 rims on or put the sl/e rims on it and minus the body kit?

[clubsport_replica]

why do poeple do this to sl/e's if it were mine rip the kit of it and get the vh bumpers back on it keep the rims though as the look nice with good paint n a decent set of rims

good buy mate

[Jo3_Blo]

Nice VH mate. Not a huge fan of VK bits on VHs however.

The colour isn't bad, but I think it needs to lose the VK bits for it to look good.

If you lose the kit, keep the wheels. They'll look tough.

[scottVH]

why buy a vh if you want it to look like a vk?
just buy a vk

[oldschool 2]

yeah i got the bumpers in the garage so i think thats what il do rip the kit off and keep the r8 rims on it.
boys keep an eye out for the dark green front seats and door trims for me please im in syd but will organise freight if need be.Thanks for the good words

just buy a vk

Why don't you ask the bloke he bought it off?

[oldschool 2]

why buy a vh if you want it to look like a vk?

mate people have been doing that for years hd into hr, ej into eh, lc into lj, vt into vx
its just what happens to cars over time

[Jo3_Blo]

HQ, J, X, Z into WB. Lol, bloody every bloke and his dog puts a WB stato front on his ute these days.

But on topic, good choice, can't wait to see it with the original bumpers on again, with the R8 rims and lowered, itll look really tough I reckon.

This thing is "Ice Green" isn't it. My parents had an ice green VH SL/X when I was a kid, great car

[oldschool 2]

yeah ice green is the colour and i just got the door trims and seats sorted so im happy now the car is going back to original spec but leaving the r8 rims on will put up pics when its finished

[greenfoam]

Are you going to get those ones in Melbourne?, should look slick when all that's back in

[oldschool 2]

mate the day after you told me about the ones on SC a set came up on ebay for half that price rang the dude and the deal was done, just waiting to get them picked up
im stoked!!! i love it when you can find things quick not like parts for my lc there a friggin nightmare to track down

[greenfoam]

Hey I found these on my drive before, insperation for the paint job you're thinking about. This one was for sale a couple years ago for about 5 grand, seems to heave green leather, must be extreme rare, factory 5 litre too I think. The two tone green does it for me, been my favorite Commodore (with the SV5000) for a along time, I seem to have a thing for green Commodores

[oldschool 2]

your just envious... lol its cool i know its not everyones cup of tea it took a while to grow on me but hey its how the general made it so thats the way il keep it.
