Yes mate, still a money pit but it's nice to see how much has been done in 2 years, only thing that I am missing is the clutch and rubbers for inside the doors and windscreen rubbers, picked her up today she looked sweet... Moving forward

Hi all, been thinking a bit about the wheels for this car, the Holden globes I got for this car look nice but they are not new, I cannot build a car to this level and leave 1987 wheels on it.. I don't want to spend 5 K on original wheels or get new reproduction ones they sell in 19 inch. 2 questions.What is the wheel pattern on vb? What wheels would you suggest? My favourites are convo pro 15 inch, a little deeper for the back ones

I like those one pictured on an early girl. They've got a bit of the 80s mags look. They have some resemblance to my old fully polished Armalites, but with a bit of old school kidney mag and Centrelines thrown in the mix.
