Gday, very nice vk commodore, If i was you, I would leave it. But, put the v8 in it. Nothing beats the sound of a V8!! Cheers Jason

looks like a good car to start with mate.
A good Grp C conversion like in the picture is a very ambitious task though, but it has been done by quite a few (a couple of threads on Street Commodores).
All the best with it

there is a member on here FAT084 that did a conversion, I used to not like it cause of the 4/71, Now I love it..

It was in Street Machine December 2009 I believe. Take a look at that

Good Luck

I've always loved the look of the phat guards and the big front spoiler, the paint job just burns your retina's from 100m lol. I know others have done it but I want to drive one, not look at it in a mag or dvd lol hahaha.Tax time should see some progress in the right direction!

Tax time should see some progress in the right direction!

The kit's coming from SVE in S.A. Once the kit's trial fitted the whole body will be cleaned up. I plan to remove the guard aerial hole and add a VE aerial to the rear roof.

I put my new rims on after having them powdercoated white and they look a treat.
