The ammount of work and effort you have put in to this car is incredible man

i get the pleasure to see it up front and have even sat in it.. its a beast .. Sure it needs a re spray.. But man it is one of the nicest commodores ive seen around at least it has effort and that is what makes it great

[HarmlessMuffinMan]

Agree with the above. We can haz interior photo's?

[Whitesack07]

i agree with both apart from one thing, its a STATESMAN not a Commodore, there is a difference

[HarmlessMuffinMan]

Your not lieing... Actually the best way to describe it would be say you are telling the truth

[Jonesy484]

Wayne what colour you going to re-spray it? and what wheels you thinking of?

[GEN3RATD]

Have a look at Walesys caprice, cherry black is the way to go.

[frankenstein]

Thanks steve alot of effort has gone into this and will have to take u for a drive soon. I'm planing on going ve ssv 19s black with a red pin stripe round the out side and the car is going black not sure what shade yet. thinking cherry black or jet black at the moment with a few highlights I'm not gonna say about.

I'm also thinking of putting a nos kit on it in a few weeks for some fun on the track day i have it entered in and hopefully will be a nice burnout vid for every one to if i still have the 20s by then I'm burning them out as i hate them sick of the scraping and that.

Edit
also a few more pics will try get more today or tomorrow after i give it a clean and try fit my caprice wing


and the onley interiour shot i have needs a good clean in this one

[HarmlessMuffinMan]

That interior is nice, appart from the obvious, but still nice. As the paint... Yeah cherry black like Wamsley (However its spelt), but you might want to do something different, and thats fine too. Candy apple red? :O

[frankenstein]

nah dont want to paint it candy as its to hard to fix and haveing a gravel driveway and its most likely gonna be my daily once its finished.interiour will come up good with a clean onley problem with it is slight wear on the drivers seat im gonna get fixed. just havent done much cleaning on it yet as im still working on it

[frankenstein]

Didnet get round to cleaning it or any thing today but picked up a cai for $30 for it and fitted that tonight

[1dvsbstd]

nice man nice

[Big_Simmo]

she looks pretty nice there mate

Looks like a fair bit of effort has gone into this beast, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh one day

[frankenstein]

Thanks mate i wish i could say i dont it all my self but i had the help of dad and a good mate with geting the motor and that in. next on the list is new rims new brakes and send it down to the panel shop as im not geting the time to finish off the panel work and been quoted 1000 to finish it and then get it in for the paint job

[walesy]

Yeah cherry black like Wamsley (However its spelt),

LOL wamsley?? meh close enough haha

[frankenstein]

Well its off the road again now the temp exhaust we had made up broke the rubber holders tonight fell off and put a crack in the rear bar so waiting for my twin mandrel bent system to get here as its on its way from Brisbane (saved $750 doing it this way) have a new rear bar ready to go on any way at least and will get my current one plastic welded as a spare until i find a grange kit.

[walesy]

the cheapest place you will get a grange kit (plastic) go to AMCAP, they were $3013 when i priced one up before the respray, you can get fibreglass ones for like $1500 but fibreglass is NASTY!

[frankenstein]

thanks mate i will see how i go with it i was hopeing to find a smashed one as i knew wouldent be cheap new will see how it all goes tho

[walesy]

yeah hsv wanted $5000!!! no matter who you go through you will need a hsv vin code to order it so just do what i done and have a mate who owns a genuine grange haha

[frankenstein]

i dont have any mates with a grange i may look into the fibre glass kit at a last resort it i can't get the kit may just lower it more haha or see if i can custom fab something. just want something differant to ur general wh.

[frankenstein]

goes into the panel shop in about 3 weeks to get the body work finished off then after that off to painters. also the exhaust arrived on Friday now has a mandrel bent twin 2.5inch to genie extractors and hsv cats soon to upgraded to high flow cats. after the paint is done I'm saving up and sending it in for cam otr and mafless tune.
