    installed a full alloy radiator word to the wise waist of money and time ,
    For now tryin to decide on pulling my Low king springs and maybe putting in some SL in the front and SSL in the rear. but as it is the extractors are pretty low to the ground .

    Looks good man. I may be a little Bias however. Gotta be honest though, would have looked great with a CV8Z Bar on it

    Was a waist of cash because it splits after amonth or so. standed replacement is the way to go.

    As for the CV8z front bar i still like the idea but that would kinda be stealing your design mate lol.

    Thanks mate, Next on the list is to save afew grand and spoil the vt with a new motor. was talking to a guy from B G engines today seems to know his stuff about V8`s
    now im looking for a 6.0 litre block to start with for the next upgrade.called afew wreckers and can get a naked block for $1200 so thats not to bad but will keep shoping around just in case.
    A rough quote from the guy i was speaking with today was $3000 ls2 engine pull down and rebuild with just standed aftermaket pistons rings etc.
    But anyways ill keep updating as things progress with the commodore
