Gday

this is my 1979 vb commodore witch has been a long time first car project, i've had it for about 3 years and worked on it lots but not haveing much of an idea been doing extra work and going around in circles, ive done all the work my self with minimal help from my dad.
when i got the car it was a complete running blue vb sl grandpa spec, its come a long way and been a great learning curve, and get great expirence, i all so get distracted on other projects that i might put photos up aswell, she still runs the 202 red and trimatinc but have got a donnor vr wagon with a buick v6 and t5 witch will end up in her, have a year to finish so can drive it on p's

Postie looks tops. There was a matt black VC Brock with flares doing the rounds at burnout comps like Summernats years ago. It has been restored though and now looks like this:
