yeah i cant wait to get one in if i keep it long enough
What a shame mate thats a beaitiful car At least ya dad can fix it :cry:
yeah but its just a pain.. started repairing the front guard the other night its pretty out of shape so needs a fair bit of work. quote was around 4 grand mark.
tuff car, killa inside n out.

just order the spring you want and fit them yourself, should be like 130 bucks a pair for springs. the rear is easy to lower but i've never done the front
yeah i got quote for 1 grand not fitted because i want decent springs in it


i was just wondering how much you guys think it would be worth.. might want to sell it in about 6 months just wondering rough price people would pay for something like this.

What brand springs are they?

You can get king springs, or lovells, on here from GSL RallySport, for around the $250 -$280, for all four,
And they will do a deal for springs and lowered shocks together, for around $700 probly cheaper for an older model like yours... any height you want..


I'm not sure how much she'd be worth, as they are getting old now, but it would probly be worth more to you and your dad, with the amount of time and effort thats gone into it..
Just do an engine conversion, get something more powerful, and with better fuel economy, with all new wiring, and you shouldnt have a problem with it for a while...?

went out to the all holden day today..
am maybe thinking of just rebuilding the 6 and doing some mods to make it go better instead of waiting the 2 and a half years to do the v8. was talking to some guys and they said they go pretty hard. like do tripple webbers or something like that to it. no quite sure what et but ganna have a search around and see what can be done to make it go harder
