You should reverse the steering lock so the lock faces away from you. In the current position they're so easy to get off.

You must have a bit of crime there in the City of Churches if they like breaking into your car.

Cheers for that always better to be safer then sorry. probably a little over protective as my old car was broken into all the time.

i'm at the point where i think if i post a pic someone may copy it ,so i posted heaps to help and give others ideas

We used to rip off steering locks when keys went missing or broke. Pulling them was easy.

Maybe a kill switch hidden under the dash might help. We used to have them in our old Kingwoods.

yes got one of those kill switches and gps tracking with mic so i can sms it and listen to my passengers talking or the criminals hehe.

when i got back to my old vc at the super market in the day time,someone had pulled my wiring loom and cut it left me a big old mess to fix. had 2 kill switches in this car

so when i got the vt first thing was security kill switches e.t.c. learnt from all the problems i had in the past

thanks heaps for how to put the steering lock on properly will give it a go today

thanks heaps Risky,i did what you said and put the steering lock the other way around it was a bit hard to get used to at first.

now it's easy as

Lol it's a bit of a pain but trust me, no bugger will be able to get it off.

I never thought that pinchwelds would look okay. Just as long as they do the job for you.

hahaha you should have seen my ute when I first looked at it. At the time we had 2 weeks worth of heavy rains & there was muck everywhere on the ute. Considering that the car yard had other Holden Utes for sale the one I bought was the better one.

im thinking if i ever am going to buy a car that's dirty, i'm grabbing a hose and washing it down. both back door scratched and on top of spoiler scratch nearly from start to finish of the panels.

but i'm heaps happy now with the car only took me 2 years of slowly fixing it up.

i decided that i'm never ever going to get my money back cars always drop to quickly in price but if i do the repairs myself and save money from labor cost,i will get it done sooner then later

learn a thing or too and try and end up with a reliable car that i can fix myself was the goal

best point is coming from a vc 202 to a vt 3.8 felt like i was driving a v8 on turbo

Good way of thinking, just remember this most cars have very little to no residual value and depreciation is the biggest cost of ownership.

that's the one
