The L67 Ute

[afstruct]

I sooooo want to do a custom/ streetmachine vr/vs ute= l can see exactly what I want = something stupid but most ( uninformed )would go oh hang on it's a vs ute with a body kit!!!

Yeah even with stock size wheels lowered or going bigger tyres they'll rub on inner guard.

I'm doing vl wagon diff + 15x7 chasers 255/60/15 or 215/70/15 which will rub on inside & sit very high hence some sort of tub modification.

If I was doing something to stand out would be the Showtime tub kit or larger round tubs,narrowed diff with deep dish simmons or something.

Quotes I've heard were around 1k with 1 week time frame...want to have a go do most of mine then get panelbeater workmate to finish it off for me but I'm trying to keep stock looking shitebox theme.

They do look nice..
Sorry I'm a metal worker so those look fairly easy.
I'd rather the more stockish look even in the tub= cut and extend/ and an factory looking infill.
Having said that would love to pump all 4 guards and yessss deep dish Simmons, keep them at 18s but yes fat as at the back , twin exhaust but not out wide but close into tne center

Know I could do it myself just won't get the level of finish that I want...then I'd have to do it again untill it's just right or it would annoy me forever.

Just have more patience doing mechanical/electrical work vs paint/panel + can't weld for shite haha

Do like the larger rounded style tubs with EE anti-roll bar kit etc just rather not go overboard or customised on this one & use as much factory parts as possible.

Oil for the Supercharger turned up today, so i figured i would have a go at doing it.

First thing is to get the old oil out, someone mentioned using a spray bottle to suck it out, so i will give that way a go ..... well that seemed to have worked fine, nice and easy just spray it back into the empty bottle so there is no mess

I did that to clean out the coolant dribble from the hollow in the manifold where the thermo housing weeps. Pour a bit of water in and suck it out with soap pump dispenser.

Great thread man.
I just bought an L67 VS ute today.

Googled commodore vs forum and here I am

I pick up the car on Tuesday and guess I'll make a thread similar to this one, will be doing a bit of work to it over time, so I've got a record of it's progress.
Cheers

Good on you Pete, and welcome to the Forum

Yes, a build thread is great for keeping record of your progress. I have 2 going at the moment and they have been helpful for myself, as well as entertaining for others.
