Thanks for that Dak, really appreciate the help. The cloth I was whipping the water off after sanding had little colour in it so I don't think iv sanded to far. Thanks for the tip also ill remember that one for next time.

Hey Dak or anyone else that may be able to help. I have a query, Im painting my car an have layed down one coat of clear an it has a lot of crap under it, so I rubbed back these areas but have gone threw back to the base coat. It's only 1 coat an I realise now as its a few days old I'm going to...

Ok thanks for that guys, just wasn't sure. Yeah I currently have rope under it at the moment but I wanted to see if I could remove the seal so I can clean under it a bit better. But not to worry I'll sort it out. Cheers

Hi all, In the process of painting my vk and I think I want to remove the window seals instead of just lifting them up when I spray. How hard is it to just remove the seals not the whole screen, I pulled on one corner but it looks like the whole screen wants to come out with it. Also I had a...

Thanks for the reply. That price seems ok. What do you mean by uneconomical? Bit too expensive? I'm not sure if it's going to be more trouble than what it's worth. Had a look on rare spares though and found replacement panels that should cover the majority of what I would need just not sure...

Hi all, Iv been looking around for a VB SLE to hang onto and put in the shed with the VK to slowly restore as I love the early commodores. Now Iv found one but it has rust, now it has rust in the plenum, below the rear window and boot sill, theyre pretty major. Also rust at the top of front...

Thanks for the info DAKSTER, your so thorough with your replies it's a credit to you! Appreciate the help! Valuable info that I can use!

Ok thanks for the help. Appreciate it! How do you go about sanding your primer? I see you said 800 or higher but do you do that between each coat? And how Many coats do you apply? Cheers

Thanks for the info. I have given it a few polishes but it doesn't last, goes to chalky for my liking but the paint is still in relatively good nic, I want to also go a darker shade of red. Now I know where to start. I'll hit it all with 240, I have a fair bit of 600 for some reason so I might...

Hey Dakster great info, i just finished reading threw your thread. Im looking at re spraying my VK and have a few questions. The paint is still ok but i want to respray it to get it looking good again. My question is what course sand paper should i use to sand the old paint before i lay down...

The tanks about 75 usable liters from memory. And I have never filled it right up just close to it. No I havnt had it serviced I've only had the car for about a year and a half!

Hi guys, I got a WL statesman which is dual fuel. The system is a direct injection gas system and was installed in 06. Only in the last month or so even if I have a full tank of gas when the car revs to over about 2300rpm it's jerks and stops making power and even goes slower when the revs...

Why so cheap?

Ok thanks, I will be doing mostly highway driving during the week but will still do in town driving on weekends etc. Yeah true they are getting on in age. I was looking at a VX wagon but if they are the same on fuel pretty much i might just go the VT.

Hi guys, this may sound like a stupid question but I'm looking at buying a VT or VX wagon for a work car, I used to have a VT sedan a few years ago and it was pretty heavy on fuel but I was told that VX's were better on fuel. So my question is what's better on fuel, a VT wagon or VX wagon? I...

Hi guys, I have a WL V6 statesman (VZ equivalent) so i thought this would be the appropriate thread! Anyway the other day my transmission just decided to stop working when i put it in drive or reverse it just revs like its in neutral, i have read on here about this happening to others. So i am...

Hi guys, I have a vs berlina wagon that I'm setting up for drags so I'm replacing the the LSD with a mini spool. Can I fit a mini spool to the LSD centre? Also I'm looking for some 3.9's and was wondering if v6/v8 gears are the same size etc? Any help would be much appreciated!

Like what munz Said about the 3.9's changing the powerBand to a lower rev range etc

I'm not too sure about the technical side of rev ranges etc. Does anyone else know much about it?

Oh ok thanks for that guys. I have a mate that is selling a 4200 stall, would that be to big for what I need ?

Just had a quick look on the crow cam catalogue cause I couldn't find anything similar on the crane catalogue and I came across a crow 4731, rev range 3200-6500 which would be alright cause the 3200 would suit the hi stall and my manifold rev range is between 1200-6500. What does everyone think?

Stupid me I should have checked the cam specs first! Would it really matter that 200rpm difference? Is there a similar cam to the 280 that is good for a little less rpm that anyone can think of off the top of there head lol?

Hi guys. I am just wondering if a 3200 high stall would go alright with my motor combination. My motor has 10.5:1 comp, flat tops, dual plane high rise manifold, 1000cfm throttle body, worked heads, solid lifters and most likely a crane 280 cam + other good bits. I am planning on racing it until...

Im open to offers now!
