Heron White Pontiac G8 GT Converted To Holden Commodore SS V-Series Special Edition

[SeattleG8]

Last year I had missed a turn for a store I was looking for so I circled around the building next door. On the back wall of the building is a series of murals from around the world. The biggest one on the far end of the wall is Uluru, and I made a note of its location telling myself, I have to get there to take some pics. It's the closest my 8 will ever get.

Looks smick. Needs to be lowered though.

Looks tops mate, Love that shark fin . You should get an SS front bar that would really throw people.

Definitely on my "to do" list to convert the front clip. Unfortunately the Aussie dollar is kicking the US dollar's ass right now. Also I'm working on my "garage mod" right now having a new house built - so my free cash is - limited. Just a VE conversion through JHP is over $3000 US before paint and installation.

[BigBoss]

Haha True WTF?

 

[SeattleG8]

eBay - have plates from Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales and NT

I will take it as a huge complement on my conversion work that it seems everyone thought this was a VE being turned into a G8 - not a US G8 turned into a VE (and that explains the comment about badges up above!)
