Cheers guys !!!!!!

Found out today that my extractors are a MOTIVATOR brand ,,, its been some trouble trying to find the lower half to them as they are a 2 piece extractor and were missing from the donor car i bought..... But i come up with a plan found the correct gasket at the muffler shop and took that to TONKINS steel fabrication mob... who have a water jet and are going to cut flanges out of 10mm steel so i can then make up my own lower section and have it running on the new system over the break ..... Cant wait to hear it!!!!!!

They look like Simonds B52 rims...They were all the rage about 25 years ago They looked slick on the early commodores..especially if the car was white...They were probably the most expensive rim aruond back them

I spent some more money today bought a pedders adjustable panhard bar... exhaust would not fit with the old bar but the new adjustable one has a bend where the exhaust pipe goes......

yeah those simmons look awesome, id love some for my vb. i love old school cool =) old cars have character that new cars just dont have. for example with the boot on my vb the first time you go to shut it, it bounces open again but the second time you push it down it shuts fine. i love how old school cars have their little charms like that
