Thought i might chuck up some pics and info of my project car im farting around with at the moment, i had a VS statesman on 20's a couple years ago but got bored of it, so heres my new toy :). its a 1974 ke26 corolla panelvan, pretty rare car around these parts, theres not many windowless...

$15,500. pretty much what i paid for it, even tho the car looked completely different after i was done with it. but meh, im happy with what i got.

this car is now gone, sold it afew weeks ago. no more holdens for awhile!

i ended up spending $1500 on the suspension in my statesman, the shockers where already done from the previous owner, just normal pedders short shocks, after the camber kit and every single bush i could find was replaced it ended up being just over 1g. the countless spring combinations i went...

at the moment they are still for sale yeh. got afew interested people tho. ill be in sydney until friday night for work, n won't hav access to a comp, but if u or ur friend is still interested let me know n u could come chek em out next weekend.

cheers john, you'll see it buzzin around work sometime soon, lol. hahah na i'd never put 20's on a car like this, would look **** as and ruin the look. gonna get some complete 12" hubbies for it and polish em up, i love the whole oldskool look, n just gona wait till my venetians arrive so i can...

rawnrg, pm replied too. Wagon_Wheel, im in knox, n nah they aren't, wouldn't waste my time with retreads.

rims are still for sale, im in the eastern suburbs of melbourne. the rims on the car at the time of it being written of where black stockies, not the 17's. as i had bought some 20's to go on n had stockies on it for the time being.

pm sent ssmate and yeh they'd fit on a VS no worries. fabz, sadly my vk was written off last year by sum old dude that wanted to check it out close and personal, otherwise i would still have it!

hey guys, just got afew things i want to get rid of as i have no need for them, been sitting in my wardrobe for afew months and would rather get some cash for them lol. 1 x VS Series 3 Stato Tail light, LH side. brand new condition, in box (had complete tailight set + brand new garnish, but...

thanks for the comments guys. Jecs, my tips are in a ****ty spot n make it look like the zorst is hanging, i need to get them cut back cos they sit out too far. thinkin of removing the mufflers completely just for a laugh anyway lol. might not see it around as often now, since i recently bought...

bought a new car on wednesday from Adelaide, flew over there to check it out, then flew home. getting it freighted back to melb, n should hopefully have it here by the end of the week. i bought it to use as a daily, so i don't havta drive my Stato everyday anymore as its startin to **** me lol...

im looking for around 18g's. and yes it has a camber kit, just hasn't been adjusted, which is y the camber is shot to ****.

heres my car as it looks atm. looking to sell it soon though, getting bored with it.

thanks mate. yeh i had a look at the pics of ur caprice, looks sweet. i want a caprice for my next car. lookin at getting a WK. getting tired of the VS and i wanna into LS1 territory bad. what cruises have u seen mine at? i don't take it out that much anymore. i chucked my standard 16" stato...

thanks mate. im happy with how it sits atm tho, it looks basically level to me. i don't wanna drop the front anymore or it will b lower at the front and look dicky imo.

thought i should add some fresh pictures of the stato. not alot has changed since last time. spruced up the engine bay abit, so it doesn't look quite so ****e anymore, got my white walls re-done thicker and lowered the ass end some more. all the pics, sept for the engine bay 1 are from geelong...

yeh its alot easier to bled it if u just turn the wheels manually with the engine off. generally 10 times lock to lock either side will do it i've found.

nice car dude. gotta love caprice's. i've got my eyes on a WK caprice atm, but not till i get off my p's. get sum new pics up :)

depends where on the tyre it is. u shouldn't repair a punctured tyre if its on or near the sidewall. these can still be repaired sometimes, but don't always last very long.

my vs stato has just hit 135,000. bout time i did its 5k service i think.

here's mine. not finished yet, but its getting there. not the best pic to show the chromed engine covers, cos all the purple from the bay is reflecting onto it. but u get the idea :)

went out n took sum new pics today, since i got rid of the defect n squashed my rear springs a little bit more. with a proper camera, not using my fone lol. so these actually look half decent. i rox at photography. lol let me know wot u think. theres afew..

cheers fellas, ill give em a good spray down tommorw. see how it goes. hopefully its not bearings.

ey guys, iv got a really annoying squeaking noise coming from one or more of my wheels on my stato, not sure which one. it happens as soon as i start driving, goes faster the faster i go. it goes away whenever i put my foot on the brake, even if i only put it on very slightly. its really...

thanks dude, the tyres are 225/30/20's. prolly could'v gone abit wider, but o well. ye they are pretty thin, feels like ur driving without tyres sometimes, lol. gettiny my low rear springs, the one i got canaried in, squashed another 1.5", should hav em back on monday. then we'll see how it...

cheers for the comments guys :). fnlow1, where abouts are u from? the car hasn't really bene anywhere in the last few weeks, got my defect off early this week, had to raise it up which was a pain in the ass, looks like a tractor now lol. ill be puttin my low springs back in tommoro if i can be...

cheers guys. im gona lower it more at the rear, but apparently its too low as it is as i got defected last week for being 2 low. exhaust is sitting at a healthy 50mm off the deck, not quite as low as my vk. but getting there. once i sort the defect out ill slam it some more. as far as the stereo...

havn't posted in her for awhile. thought i'd chuck up afew recent pics of the stato. hasn't changed a whole lot. got whitewalls done and lowered the rear a fraction more. also running stockies atm but should have that sorted by this w/e! :)

my stato.

VK Calais don't get a mention but RD Hurricanes do? wtf kind of car is that anyway..
