The spare is on the car, the old one to far gone. Have to have a looksy around and see what i can get. Might, just might have to get a standard VB grille done.

[video=youtube_share;qh-OwG_zwzk]http://youtu.be/qh-OwG_zwzk[/video] Just a small vid clip of the gold SL/E. Waste of time viding the other one, missing lots of parts etc.

The old grille that was on the car when i got it back in September 2000

These grilles are near impossible to be brought new these days.

The door ones are, usually the others are easy to get. I think the boot moulding is NLA though.

Just a small update, the "thing" hasn't moved all year. Has a failed brake assembly, booster and master cylinder. Going to get a 1 inch master cylinder. Also, the old as Holley, is going to be a permanent wall adornment. Going to try and get a rebuilt Rochester Quadrajet for her. Also a new chrome air cleaner etc. So, its locked away, super detailed, shiney with a blankie over her.

Putting a Holley on a 308 is like putting a cannon on one. Should be banned....the Rochesters are a bloody good carby.
