well the tally is rising..
3 holdens, 1 toyota and 0 fords. :( whats wrong with me.. i think im crazy lol the latest being this vs commodore, panther mica spac, genuine vy ss 18" mags, 170,000k's, feII/ pedders suspension, lukey exhaust i bought it off a mate, who just needed to get rid of it, (doesnt know anything about cars aswell), regestered, $2500 and $100 for the altezzas (which only suit it coz its a black car). so yeh, i have to get a rear bumper, 1 new mag, do the panel damage, and the side skirt damage, paint and yeh. i wanna convert it to 5sp, and maybe get an lsd. theres no diff damage, or anything, its just body so im laughing my plan after this is to build a rally mk2 escort or an offroad buggy. i cant stand the thought of crossing over to a commodore forum :gren:

Its a nice looking car, from the front atleast.
I reckon the VS Commies were the best made.

Those altezza's suit that car? While I hate altezza's on any car, I *especially* hate them on Commodores. You paid $500 too much for them.

Well i think it looks good, and agree with the Altezza's on black car statement.
Congratulations on the purchase, and if you can do the panel work yourself then your set.

The actual Godfather pic up close(on the dark vr/vs?) doesn't look too bad. I remember seeing it at Summernats. From that distance it looks bad.

Great buy!! Looks like a bargain for $2500! Have you got a quote for the panel damage yet? Shouldn't be too much I reckon..
Definitely get rid of those altezzas, they are terrible. If it were up to me I would make them illegal. Anyhow,don't listen to some of the dribble on here... the VS is a good car, enjoy it._2: |

As for the "dribble on here" rick69 you would have to be one of the major contributors. Its a VS hardly a thing to behold. And yes before you ask I have clocked up 50,000 plus of ecotec misery in one. Despite that I'd say wikid_sticks got a bargain. |

Don't worry about the blue bloods mate, I'm sure the car will serve its purpose, and although even I hate the 3.8 with a passion, you'll still get a few more km out of it.
And never fear, if all else fails then there is always www.ls1.com.au :P As for the rear bar have a look at http://www.ozeparts.com.au/ , you can pick one up for $215. |
