Looks like its optioned with all the HBD skirts as well. Much better than the usual exec spec kit the sv8s come with. And yeah badges.
Thanks guys, Vl is coming very slowly....just sitting there atm got a few things to do...
Yes it is a holden by design and has the plate under the bonnet. Is number 4*,***
Lol, jc and sc sticker.....I dont reckon they look any good without the spoiler on
Well my mate had some springs, so we went and picked them up on the weekend. Just fitted the rear springs and put some stockies right round. Sits just over 100mm so it will pass now. I didn't do the front springs, however I grabbed them off of my mate just in case.
So now I just have to take it into work and do the rear pinion seal and its rwc. Write it out and transfer into my name![]()
Thanks peeps!
Well rwc is all done, Just have to go and transfer her! Lol I got my black stockies on with centre caps and chrome dress rims.....Looks abit weird ahaha
Also had to put springs in the arse. So I got some fe2's from a mate.....Cant wait to get it transfered and put the springs and 20's back on.

How come there is Chevrolet symbols on a GM engine in an Australian car?

Well first off, Transferred today! So its in our name now.
Second of all the chev badges were on it when I brought the car. Sat down and thought about it.... I am going to be respraying the car one day soon and Im going to have a gold pearl through the paint. To go along with the gold chev badges and gold tourer rims (Silver ones on at the moment) I was thinking about red pearl through the paint but decided gold. Keep the red interior.
Chev and Holden are both GMH so does it really matter?
Stockies are off now and back on the 20's as it has been rwc and transferred now, Had to put them on for the rwc.
If you dont like it, well thats your opinion. Im open to all opinions and yes I know the chev badges shouldn't be on it, however once its done it will look good and suit it. You can tell me what you think, but its my car and I will do it the way I want it. If I like your idea, I may just use it![]()
also hence why I brought those engine covers.....well the missus brought them for me![]()
she is a keeper then! looks good! slightly different enough to have its own personality![]()
i think he was?
anyways man you got them because its what you like .
if you got the same as every one else you may aswell put turtle shell back on with a set of sigs under it and up load sick vids to youtube
both
im a big fan of "supportive" others and also your ride is sweet!
Interior is in mint as condition and very clean!
thinking of converting the rear to elec windows, getting gold sv8 in the seats: Siimilar to an ss. Also thinking of a sunroof.
Whats your thoughts?
