Well another update me thinks:
I finally go around to finishing off the body today, finished fitting up handles, door cards and locks and bonnet. So now it can go outside while i just finish off the bumpers next weekend. Once i finish off the bumpers i'll give it a good tidy up and wash, buff and vacuum.
I might paint the wheels silver, they are pretty rotten as is. After that, just gotta bleed the brakes and throw some rego on it.
Anyways heres some more current pics....

Thanks mate, im actually thinking about bringing the black down to the crease in the top of the guards, not too sure yet. I'll finish it first and go from there
not to sure about going down to the crease, it could work,

Yeah mate i have decided against doing it now :P
Well i took it for a quick drive today around the block, must say...for a car that has sat and not been driven for nearly 2 years, it drives and changes gears quite well.
Just have to wait for a free weekend so i can paint the bumpers, sand and buff car and then detail. I will probably have to look into doing gearbox fluid, engine oil and filters too, doesn't hurt to change it all anyway!
The black needs to be brought down to the crease in the guards and followed through cause it doesn't look right. nice paint work though cant wait to get stuck into mine so i can finally learn how to paint.

Not hard mate, just be patient and don't rush anything.
Well another update!
So there have been a few change of plans. Myself and a few mates have decided to turn this bad boy into a burnout car and make it a track only kind of car.
So today i re painted the car again, but this time i painted the whole car black, with a prismacolour glitter over the whole car :P Just going to give it a block and buff next weekend and that will be sweet.
We have tee'd up and have on side alot of local business' and so far this will be the plan for it....
* Strip interior and fabricate custom dash as replacement.
* weld diff
* lower all round
* dual throttle bodies coming out of bonnet
* New computer and dyno tuned
* Tuned for E85 race fuel
* Will be running nitrous oxide (about 50-150hp shot)
Will be tuned for the fuel and the rev limiter will be removed to ensure maximum abuse. We plan to blow motor's up or at least try to :P
Will keep you all updated.
Well the commodore is in a new home with new people. This is the video the day before i re painted it :P
