Gday guys and girls, I finally picked up a project car i had been looking for over the last 12 months. Picked it up on the 13th of october 2012 for a good price :)

Car: VH SL/E Commodore
Year/Month: 1982 March
Body type: Sedan
Color: Tahitan blue

Engine type: Carby 3.3lt Blue motor (202ci)
Trans: Standard 3 speed trimatic
Diff: Unsure of as of yet.

Interior: Blue velour seats and plush pile carpet with standard 6 cylinder light blue door trims, rear headrests(optional), Original steering wheel with a chunk missing out of it, tacho dash, trip computer, working air con.

Exhaust: Stock exhaust with pacemaker headers fitted long ago.

Suspension: Stock

This is going to be a bit of a project for me, but will be a nice cruiser when she is finished :)
Plans are to restore the car, rebuild and work the motor a little bit, either respray the original blue or do a two tone paint job like a nice blue over silver.

The car needs a fair amount of work done to it, but in the end its something ill enjoy and hopefully others too. Will update this thread a bit more in the next day or two.

So it starts from here...
