- 1979 VB Commodore
Hey guys,
This is my 1979 vb commodore my uncle bought it brand new from dywers in 1979 and owned it for 33years before he gave it to me 2 years ago.
It is was in all original condition with the log books, over the past couple of years ive been doing a bit of work to it to slowly restore it to original condition and make it look like it was when it was new.
The paint is still the original paint on it so I have no plans to change that other than fixing up the odd love tap shes received over the past few years, ive had all the wheels off and resprayed original colour, ive had the air cleaner off and resprayed that and put repro stickers on it. My main project with her at the moment is getting the engine out and respraying that the original orange from the factory (anyone with any advice or paint codes for that colour would be appreciated). Also I will be spraying the gear box and diff to orginal colour as well. during all this ill be doing a general tidy up of the underside of the car. And hopefully I can get all that done and have the body fixed up ready for the all holden day show! any advice would be appreciated. :thumbsup:
Cheers, Greenie
