SSV might have it, but not Omega SS Series I :rolleyes: I have mileage to empty, and average use and that's it.

Been wanting to order an air filter for the Sprint. So far best deal I can get is $81 inc freight, with the deal expiring tomorrow at Spares Box. Quite a bit dearer on eBay and I'm thinking it's probably not worth trying to hold out to eventually maybe save $3. Pretty sure the one at Spares Box...

Don't think I have that option? I have average mileage and that's all I think?

A few choice words were said, like f'n idiot more than once.

I find that too, that you get more miles from the first half than I do the second half.

I had some clown in a Lux or similar nearly take me and the wife out last Friday night. Coming around a blind corner as I do nearly every day and he was well into my lane by going wide. I slammed on the anchors and got as close to the guard rail as I could quickly to avoid the collision. That...

Not sure about sedans but in my ute if I fill it completely full and then drive it, it will sit around the 1/2 full mark a lot longer than the 1/4 mark. Get it down to a 1/4 and it seems like its maybe 1.5 trips to work if that and back and I'm on empty. Whereas it will hover around 1/2 a tank a...

I'd dare say they are already on to it. Trouble with plug in heaters they cost a lot more to run than a heat pump and need about three or four of them in a modern open plan house to keep you warm. This is what Aurora tell us each week. Do not use plug in heaters as they are terribly inefficient...

I'll add the reason you have come against resistance is you haven't found the correct panel tech who can pull it off. I know a couple of panel beaters, one is retired and one is local to me I also know of a bloke who does custom builds near me, including shaping panels and panel cuts and making...

$100k is a starting figure, be prepared to double that budget if costs blow out, which they normally do. In that $100k budget if it can be done for that you will be doing a lot yourself. So if you are not an expert fabricator you better learn. If you are not skilled in mechanics you better learn...

$100k would probably go close, but better to have another $50k up the sleeve in case you spend $100k and still have a way to go. Put it this way if you were looking at a standard resto on one of those vehicles no custom work you will be at $40k. Add an engine other than standard fitment you...

Cam will do stuff all. Save up your money and fit one of these. https://raptorsc.com.au/holden/holden-commodore-vt-vy-3-8l-kits/

Similar. I posted a picture of it on here somewhere. It was red with big lift and 31" or 32" muddies IIRC.

Those two would be easier to marry together. I tried to find the Red 4WD VF wagon but I can't find it anymore. It was a beast with a 6.2L.

With a decent budget you could turn a VX into a 4WD VX and probably get it engineered. However, to marry a Hilux onto the Commodore is not the cheapest way to do it. If I can find it there is a bloke who built a 4WD VF IIRC, I don't think it was a VE.
