    So does your exhaust end in dual 3 inch? That'd sound nuts...

    Not keen on the GTS mags on the HZ... Doesnt suit it imo

    Sweet rides though man, love the VN especially

    no you cant have it its mine
    im thinking of painting it gold with a candy apple red over the top
    or a custom midnight blue (black with blue metallic) that looks nuts
    or even black with blue pearl and a small amount of silver metallic
    or just keep it gold
    i havent decided yet

    Also, those door handles - My dad's old HZ Statesman has them, but they aren't on any other old H series that I've seen.............are they from a Vk/VL or something? Just curious........

    Yeah, they're ribbed............our other statesman and the ute have the smooth ones. They look to me like those from a VL-VK, only without the mould-bit that goes accross the top and down the sides........

    yes but i have neva understood how a plate can fix the pcd difference? fix the offset yes but the hz pcd is bigger then a commy pcd and its like boring a block to 25thou and trying to ram 30thou pistons in there, i aint gonna lecture u on it or have a go as its ur car but no way ill be driving behind u lol for when all that extra pressure on the wheel stud will cause them to snap, and its not i nice site. there was a post on another forum on what happens when u run commy wheels on old holdens and pics of his hq totally wiped off when 3 of the 5 studs snapped, his insurance wiped there hands once they found out he had commy wheels on and was up for a $100,000 bill for property damage. well that's all from me and please dont take offence to what i have said
