After a bit more google picture searching, It looks like they are VP Calais seats. Can someone confirm this please before I advertise them incorrectly on Gumtree.

Yeah they do look kinda VN from that angle but dad assures me they were from a VL.

Dad bought these Scheel seats to replace the tired old ones in the VK well over 15 years ago. He said they were from a 'fancy' VL. I'm just trying to find out if it was from a Calais like I assume. Bad Photo. I'll take some nicer ones with better lighting in the morning.

Stupid suggestion. Have you asked Toyota about this? Maybe they still have spares as well?

Keep the VR as the daily and v8 the 'K'!

Mmmmm tasty!

Sand the small area back to metal, apply rust converte, sand again until the area is clean of all rust (repeat if the rust is still there),etch prime, prime, sand, colour. All this should be able to be dome in a couple of hour with some spray cans.

Am I the only one who thinks the stutter/hesitation and lack of power sounds like it the carb has not been tuned properly.

Any updates?

Depending on the basket size of the speaker, you may have to 'thin' the speaker pod mounting surface a little to squeeze it in. There is no other chopping involved.

How did you go?

lol I think he means (by joking) that the low rear end is because of the invisible caravan attached to it. :)

Now that is just obvious! You slide over the bonnet and jump through the window, being carefull not to spill the moonshine.

...and the easiest!

What about a couple of those 12 volt hair dryers stuck under the dash instead?

Am I reading this right? You did NOT hook up the ground?

Ya not kidding! Although it is not as nice as the Black VC saladine1 posted last week, it is still quite nice.

Geez. I'd be happy with 200rwhp in a series one Commodore. I think you have done really well, Noel.

What exactly is going wrong with your cruise control?

I think he wasn't intentionally insinuating that his mechanic was trying to strip him of money not required - more to the point that he would like to keep the vehicle as close to original as he can.

You would have a hard time trying to find one of those in a store these days. NOS is extremely rare too. The best bet is to keep an eye out on eBay as I have seen them pop up from time to time relatively cheap. There are really easy to pull apart and fix too.

All above posts are fron NPreston - I just uploaded the images. Thanks for the info Noel.

Here's the Saab. I used to cop a lot of flack about it being my wife's car, they shut up pretty quickly though. Ran it through 2007-2008 then I started on the Commodore. My wife used to drive it every day.

Finished CAI. Swiss cheese back door, windows are glued in place,all winding mechanism removed as ai arm rest. Tuned by BPS just to back up my claim for the dyno sheet. First hill climb will be at Mt. Cotton on 30-31 October assuming I get a start as I am not a series registered competitor...

Off to the painter. Fresh from the paint shop, waiting for a new front screen and refit the rear screen. Everything was removed from the car as far as trim goes, Bailey channels all glass and trim etc. I was going to fabricate front bumperettes but the engineer said it would be frowned upon as...

Radiator in situ. Optima fully sealed Absorbed Glass Matt battery, no hydrogen gas when charging. Battery wiring with isolator. One of two adaptors for my cold air intake. Original inlet is blocked off. Intake is under the front bumper which on a Lexus is the highest air pressure point apart...

Engine and additional wiring harness required. Radiator is a VN V8 Fenix aluminium unit modified to fit the VC. Bottom locationg pins had to be moved and I had to block off the bottom outlet and move it up 75mm. VT calipers and rotors. Standard air inlet as required by Qld Tpt along with a...

Initial preparation, worst jobs of the whole project were cleaning the bitumen off the floor and transmission tunnel and painting the interior. My nostrils were stuck together despite wearing paper masks, also my eyelashes stuck together requiring delicate application of turps to seperate them...

Hold on to your hats boys - here comes 37 pics of this very cool Commodore!

Thought of putting them behind the grill?

Nice. Anymore info/pics on the conversion?

These pictures are from the Unique cars and parts website.

Will this do? Brochures: Holden VB Commodore SL/E

The electric antennae can be hooked up to almost any new head unit you can buy these days. As for the steering wheel controls, absolutely no after market head unit uses them. With that said, they can be modified to suit. In my old VT i wired in a spare remote control directly to the buttons...

25amp cable for that is massively overkill. The signal cable uses a maximum of 500ma to turn on the amp. The type and quality of cabling here makes absolutely no bearing on the quality or volume of sound.

Holy **** son! That is beautiful. Not sure what it is worth but if you do buy it, PLEASE do not change it!!

Sorry, but I really don't understand what you are asking.
