Mate those rims are on the money ! Imo chrome/white door handles would set this thing off !

And then of course chrome window surrounds, white mirrors etc

Thanks man.. Yeh i did all the mods myself but i didn’t buy them i swapped my old vs caprice for a vr 5speed a while ago and it had most the mods already the rims etc on it but then i bought this vr i own now and i pulled everything off the other car and put it on this car except the pacemakers and LSD they were already in the car when i bought it.. so basically i just swapped everything over from car to car..

[UW1SH]

So this is what the car sounds like if anyone is interested in buying the exhaust system..

Looks like a good start for a project. Those altezzas have to go though. The side trolley strips look really bright. Are they new ones ?

Yeh i know i hate the altezzas im waiting on a chance to find some good condition calais ones or berlina ones.. narh might just be reflection making them look bright. i got the car off a middle ages (mid 40s) couple so it was really good condition when i got it. not bad for $900 was $1200 with a set of rims but my bro put in the extra $300 for rims so i only paid $900

$50 and you can take them...

So i bought all this stuff for my car yesterday.. its for the ecotec btw so another step closer to getting it done


BTW yes i know the engine oil is a crap type but im just using that to flush the engine then draining it and putting synthetic stuff in there not sure what type yet im thinking more towards royal purple.. Any ideas anyone?

Those taillights and bootlights are mismatched? Black ones & Chrome ones.

Lol haha i just noticed that.. narh they are the same it must just be the reflection they are both chrome not the black ones

When I went in to Holden they had this special stuff, designed for the older model engines (pre VE).
The name hasnt come to me .. I'll tell you when I remember.

Just curious to know about your tyre wear. Good or bad ? I'm guessing your on Live Axle ?
