    I still want this commodore lol, a lot of time and effort has gone into it, I always end up looking at it when I'm on here, it's just so nice, love it, should take all badges but the front an back hsv badge, would look so much better just my opinion :)

    I would love to but it but it's not a V8 mate, that's the only thing it's missing in my eyes

    thanks man :)

    yer it only cost me 18 to buy tho, the old owner spent the money on all of the expensive mods remember. i would only be able to get a vx clubby for that price and would probably have more than 100ks on it unlike mine. were if i got a vz clubby with low ks and in mint condition it would be over 30g for one. however the day i can drive a v8 i will be buying a real hsv :)

    cheers scott

    Nothing worse than trying to remove window tint. Lol however will look heaps better with the darker tint man. :)

    Good stuff you found a set of satin pedals. Remember you have to change over the module from your accelerator pedal over into the new satin pedal otherwise your car will go into limp mode and youl get error codes.
    You also need to be very flexible to undo that accelerator pedal. Triple jointed and all :p

    What colors you going for the ASR lighting for your cluster and climate control?
    Phreddy is awesome and does a great job at it.
    I loved his work when he did my caprice.
    Keep us updated. :)

    Cheers
    Dave.

    haha yer thats why i just left it to the experts to change it.

    thanks for the tip i didn't realize you had to change over the module, is it hard to do?

    im thinking for the cluster ill get blue screens, white numbers and blue or the Colour morphing needles, probly change the blikers to blue also and with the climate control ill get the screen blue and the other buttons white, not sure about the rest of the buttons in the car yet tho, will be a blue and white theme. it seems like he dose a pretty good job from what i have read :)

    No worries :)
    Its really easy to swap the module over once you've got the pedal out. I think from memory there wer about 6 torx screws that u had to undo then just swap em over.
    The new tint looks alot better man.

    ye i meant the window tint. i must of missed writing that.

    ye i think 50 bux is the cheapest your gonna get. holden qouted about 70 same with wreckers. i got lucky on mine cos i bought 1 where u could bid so try keep an eye out on them.

    well you dont really lose money with a foot rest. Its more of a rental because IF you decide to sell the car or dont like it u can easily get rid of it on gumtree for around 50 or more since wreckers/holden is more expensive

    ye scotty best to ring your local partsdealer up first see if they got it. the guy i talked to at holden was useless he didnt know if they had it in stock and said "ye mate i think its around 70 bux or so."
