The only thing that doesn't line up is the rear quarter window moulding that was never made with chrome trimming, but apart from that this certainly looks the goods.

Looks ok but he certainly hasn't done a $14k job IMHO. The door chrome trim doesn't look like lines up with the tub trim either?

Thats a pretty common mod around here....The ones based on the vp look the best to me ...Only thing close that holdens made was the commodore royale sold in NZ but that only came in sedan.....

There is always this.... Price wise, I think he out of touch with reality???????

I did look at this one as my older lad wants to change from his Acclaim sedan to a ute with much the same type of parentage (eg. one ownertype car).

but yes you are absolutely spot on about being out of touch and especially with this one being the very lowest of base level car and it being bought originally without the auto and having the manual as a cheaper orientation and also being a straight Holden Ute and not a Commodore due to the non colour coded bumpers.

This one should be no more than $3500 tops. but as it's a business flogging it, they're trying it on at top money and will eventually come down when they can't sell it at their stupid price point.

Only one issue there Woz, it's not a VR~VS ute is it ?

 

[losh1971]

Has an Eco implant I think so maybe partly VS??

Oh golly gee !!! I didn't look any further than the cover picture and it wasn't until I looked at the 2nd and 3rd photo that it blew me away.

A lot of work gone into this one that's for sure, bet it rattles and squeaks big time though.

yeah that dash transfer musta been a pig....looks good in the pic's though..bung in a L67 and some body work/paint and you would have a fun cruiser
