I have to laugh at all these comments, like he’s not in the room

think of the poor bastard that ends up with that car

Cheers

 

[HSV-Paul]

Is he though?

You decide...

 

[HSV-Paul]

I suspect @HSV-Paul is that ‘poor bastard’!

But I do think that he is doing a great job sorting out all those car-ills one by one,

Thank you.

Definitely a big gamble driving with the flex pate the way it is. I don't know what would happen if those last two bolts shear off. But I do wonder if it has the potential to do some major and costly damage?

Good thing about JC is we are here to give advice and we would hope people would take that advice on board and fix something that has the potential to go wrong in a biģ way. I sometimes wonder if Paul would be be better suited to an FB Commodore page than JC because he does seem to like wasting money online when buying his parts made by Sum Ting Wong. Just an observation.

Ordered a brand new GM one **** head...

The stalks are not serviceable so I wouldn't try to dismantle it.

As usual this c*nt knows everything there is to know about nothing!

Took it apart and FIXED IT!!!!

Still have the fast flash. Gonna pull the LEDs completely out as this started after pulling the bumber off...

I always like to see cars kept close to factory but without the mass produced constraint that accountants place on them but I recognise that’s not the case for all as taste and the desire to mod is very individual, so each to their own

And though I always aspire to the “do it once do it right” mantra sometimes the “don’t let perfect get in the way of good” kicks in because “life”

Really, if Paul is happy to do stuff as he wants and it’s within his time frame and budget then that’s ok by me. If his work isn’t done in way I’d do it and it doesn’t last that’s also ok as it’s his time and money. Really advice is given freely, so it’s for him to take it or leave it as he pleases.

In the latest saga, hopefully the flywheel won’t depart from the crank but at the end of the day people have gambled with delaying repairs and gambled at casinos since the dawn of time… Hopefully that event won’t happen and if it does hopefully Paul will post some picks and won’t crack the shites with his punting priorities

As is, I just have to think back at the early thread pics to see he’s made huge improvements compared to how it first looked when he got it (if I’m remembering correctly it was ghastly). Has he done the cleanup and repairs as I’d have done it, no. But he’s not me. Has he taken my advice when given, may be sometimes, may be not at all… In either case that’s ok.…

One day, if Paul sells the car, someone may by it and return it to concourse condition or may return it to its initial ghastly condition… in either case it will be their car to do as they please

In the mean time I find this thread and the hsv interesting in its progression/evolution…

We all know it's a gamble with things, but why take that gamble when you can win rather than loose.

And I'm all for doing things to suit your own pace and personally don't bother what is done with this car, but priorities are a little off centred with this person.

Ahhh,…….the notorious bear poker. I guess some people just can’t help themselves.
Mind you, same people squeal like pigs when it happens to them

Could you imagine a world where everyone was the same? Choose your own adventure I says,not everyone will like what you do etc etc,but as long as it puts a smile on your face and you enjoy it then keep tinkering away at it I says!!
