looks like mine when i first got it, except silver. good to see you've taken those aqua green moulds off....what where holden thinking, lol.
its a nice clean and straight ride you have man, a good base for a great commie.

[HoldenManDan]

hey mate, great choice on exterior mods, all goes together nicely. I reckon if you can get your hands on one an s pac boot lip spoiler would finish it off!

engine bay looks nice and tidy too

Keep up the good work mate, all the best with it

[aussie_cruzin]

nice ride good luck with ya future mods.

[NickVR]

Very neat mate. Future mods sound great.

Good to see another nice looking commodore being done up in the Perth area. The first shots of the engine bay area great. So clean with some quality mods going on in there. I was with you right up until the steering wheel and guages... ah well thats your thing and it works for you then roll with it.

Can I ask if the bigger sways and strut brace has made much difference and what a "hot earth kit" is?

[HoZy]

WoW! loving it, really nice, u need ss skirts & front... WOuld make it look sexy as

[Haydz]

Thats a sweet looking car.

its very clean.

[mking]

***n nice man, cleanest engine bay ive seen did you clean it up or was it like that when you got it?, who installed the swaybar for you and how much did it cost?

[Morton]

That is exceptionally clean. Looks beautiful without the green strips, with the foglights, and the other small cosmetic mods you've done.

Excellent choice with the swaybars too So many people these days overlook thicker swaybars as a way to increase ride stability, and instead dump their cars on ultra-lows and complain they're too bumpy

[dbarnes]

lol the stock picture reminds me of the green strips on my WHITE equipe before I took them off... looked so bad white and green, I bet you had as much fun getting the strips and equipe stickers off as much as I did :P The whole car is very nice, interested in where you got your chrome moulds and aluminium rocker covers?

[axemurderer101]

(mking) engine bay was pretty clean when i bought it, as for the swaybars i installed them both myself pretty easy really, nearly all the mods i have i've installed myself minus the exhaust and painting of the rear skirt and front bumper.

(dbarnes) chrome moulds came from a mobile car detailer here in town and rocker covers i got from supercheap but i think auto1 also deal with kilkenny castings who make the rocker covers and other stuff

[axemurderer101]

got new rims today so i thought i would post some pics

[dbarnes]

nice. bet your keen to get it lowered? haha

[axemurderer101]

finally lowered, front sits perfect but the rear needs to be a bit lower now i just need some new shocks

[redvs2]
