    Yeah not sure if you also look at the blueish one above. The APV center cap would fit that wheel. The ROH (stamped rim) APV wheels pop up now and then in Vic 15 & 16's. There was a shop in Bathurst making a white ROH five spoke a couple of years ago. The former APV facility manager will probably...

    Nawce! Are those the silver APV wheels? Wondering if ROH would do a remanufactured 5 spoke. If you can get a mould made of your front lip. So many have been destroyed and now SS swapped...

    APV is relatively little known these days, but it was a serious player in the performance Holden market after the legendary Peter Brock and Holden split in 1987. In 1989, motoring writer Bill Tuckey wrote in the Financial Review: "One of the other five companies offering hot-rodded Holdens –...

    The real deal! Tasteful subtle grey/black pinstriping. She's aged really well. You just don't see other Vn's like them.

    Post some pics mate! Try under the carpet in the front passenger footwell. Otherwise, I will find the customer extras sheet I have somewhere and you can tick off the options yours has.

    Yes, that is right. Unfortunately, these need twice the work with half the return far as an investment. An old friend of mine found this one. The VQ was always my favourite... still is. Actually picked this up at an auction only bidding for the wheels.

    Probably not, its just a body kit that isn't a tissue box.

    Yeah, I think some of their people started projects again on Facebook.

    Wow, what are you asking for her? Any chance you might add some photos including the build plate? I wonder how many are left these days... people make me offers quite a bit, though, I couldn't do it!

    VN 1990 overheating

    Yea nothing worse than heating issues. Probably don't touch anything else but, what Stockies and Wortus advise hahaha. Problem with running the fans constantly is the draw on the electrics. If, you have a multi meter just check the alternator is still rating at idle, fans running and lights on...

    Rough idle and stalling

    Sometimes the o2 sensor can cause this issue... Especially if, the exhaust has been modified. I'm stumped on the vacuum lines since removing charcoal canister and vac lines. Using fuel hard. Throttle body is vac bare, cleaned no map blockages. Even with caps. Wasn't too bad for 6ish months then...

    VN 1990 overheating

    Couldn't hurt doing a reverse flush on that radiator as well. Engine this old muck build up easily block an after market thermo two core? Possible reason been changed once before? Wouldn't use radiator flush either. Trident high flow thermostats still allow radiator to hold coolant for...

    Found this while looking for a vq hsv. Not sure how many are left in Aus. She's a series 1 Berlina build#255 (6/89). Since owning it i've rebuilt it from the bottom up. She's mint, though had to put an sv5k front bar on as original was smashed. APV2NV owner worked for HDT then with APV after...
