    Channel 7 news "Flashback" last night

    I saw it, it was interesting. It was funny seeing the news archive footage of the reporter doing a story on the New Diesel Gemini. He was just about yelling over the noise of the diesel motor saying how economical it was but how much more expensive it was. Things i learn't from this story...

    VC SL questions.

    Mate, My old VB got run up the arse by a small truck. The quote for repairs that i saw was $750. I had a towbar on mine which took all the impact force. This buckled the floor badly. There wasn't as much external damage as yours but the bumper bar was pushed in a bit. The quote was just to...

    My New Toy!!

    What have you been using to take the pictures you've posted, camera or phone? Either way they should have some sort of sound recorder or video recorder on them. Heres another bar idea too, i've got no idea what your looking for though.

    Hey Bec! You're not wasting any time getting things done are you? Mags, Window tinting, Bodykit and Lowering. Keep throwing money at it! How long have you had it? A couple of weeks i'm guessing. It looks tops and should be good when its all finshed, which should be about 3 weeks at the rate...

    Some turkey's been cleaning my car!

    It was hanging around the whole time i was there, it just wouldn't go away! Whats even funnier is that it was chasing the car as i drove away. The little thing was a real poser too, i took 27 photos of the car and it was in 21 of them.

    The sad end to my VK.

    Its a bloody scary thing to have happen to you! I'd never heard of it before it happened to me, i've since heard of a few cases of cars having a mind of their own. Most recently it happened to a mate from work. His wife opened the garage door for him and we he put it in gear it took off. He...

    He gets a free feed and i get all the bugs picked off my car. I went to the picnic area to take some pics of my car when i saw it running towards the car as i was pulling in. I wasn't too sure if it was going to attack me or not but when i got out it was checking the car out. It had me...

    Putting the VH on it's side to brace underneath

    Love the idea guys! Classic photos too, shot-gun hill-billies! No offense intended, but if it didn't buckle in the middle when you were both sitting in it, i doubt its going to buckle when you turn it over.

    Mysterious body deadener theories

    I don't know if everyone understands what you mean't. The deadener isn't black like the colour of tar, its painted over so its the colour of the car.

    Mysterious body deadener theories

    I do, March 92 Berlina LX. Mine has the tar type deadener in the boot and under the carpet in the car. Its not sprayed on, Its a moulded sheet of tar which is bonded to the metal, then painted over.

    Sedan/rear bumpers

    I doubt it, but its worth a try anyway. The wagon bar is a different shape to allow the tailgate to open. The chrome strip along the top of the bar on the sedan goes all the way around, which will probably stop you from opening the tailgate .

    Vs Gambler??

    I saw one of these years ago, one of my mates was going to buy it from his boss. I can't remember too much about it. I think there was only 7 made by Holden, each one was a different colour. I pretty sure they were modified by Holden, not by a place like CSV or another special vehicle builder.

    WHAT THE HELL! Thats my old VB in the picture! I don't think there was an option for a sunroof. The Chassis/Body Number in earlier cars is the equivalent of the VIN Number in later cars.

    Is that the wiper dwell switch? It has a knob that you turn to change the wiper speed. If so, just pull the knob off the switch, there may be a little pin holding it in place from memory. I think you can then unscrew the round peice behind where the knob was. Then you should be able to pull...
