We can always swap senators if your not happy with yours just saying!!!,there is this one other in SA that I'm trying to get a swap happening, don't know why he won't

I reckon I got at least 3 of them I can sell for a matching set but won't be cheap as I know what I got

Gary west upholstery I wouldn't go anywhere else all he does is steering wheels

It all came together and I got my wagon to rocky nats and had a ball, was just a few cars there!!

Could you imagine a world where everyone was the same? Choose your own adventure I says,not everyone will like what you do etc etc,but as long as it puts a smile on your face and you enjoy it then keep tinkering away at it I says!!

Gary west upholstery done my shifter,hand brake,and steering wheel in the vs senator well worth the wait,he does alot of hsv wheels etc

Tuned by chop is in Rockhampton Qld, he can do them has done a few of mine

So go a full brass system with braised joints and the tip? What about a copper?we don't use that much hot water up here I could get a few lengths and get real nice flowing bends

Yeah if you reckon that's all it needs to pass,is the brass like cats and soak up all the bad stuff? How often do you have to clean your tip???

do you think a brass tip on an eco will pass roadworthy? asking for a mate

So it been a bit of a long haul for me, but I have finally got my vt Berlina wagon on the road today!! many painful speed bumps along they way,but now has bigger brakes, welbro pump, coilovers, twin throttles and a bit wider rubber. The little cam stopped it from making more numbers with the...

Hopefully I'll see it again,glad it all went well and I get it it's hard to let go!!

I've only gotta go from nrt Qld so I may save a few ks. I just put a day pass and drove my wagon 3.5 hours for a bit of work and tune as I don't have anything rated for towing at the moment no way would I risk it!!

Just tow the senator with the vy!!! I'm going to see if can make the next one,and will most likely be in that similar problem!!

I think the last set I got came with genuine Holden floor mats, but was a fair while ago and can't remember if they are the same bits as I left them in the packet in the glove box when I sold the car

I've got a few marbles left(I like to believe!)and some real shiny sea shells wanna do a deal?? My loss could be your gain?

thats my one always enjoy taking it for a run

I've driven LHD manual it's different muscle memory takes over at times was a bit of a laugh!!

I can finally upload pics again!! I have been tinkering with my shed wall art!looks to be an old active twin throttle body set up. I ended up using 2 304 throttle bodies and a come racing single plane manifold with bits I had laying around to make it work and keep it under the...

From my understanding there was 300 made each year, 150 in each colour and 50 manuals in each year but I could be wrong also. Mine is a blue 98 manual took it out for a spin today!!

Oil pressure and coolant temp are my first go too,as I have had dash/factory temp gauges not play before, Autometer are my fav brand but have used SaaS in skid cars etc.In my vt 5lt I have Autometer oil pressure,temp,volts and still can't decide what I'm putting in the last spot,got a few bits...

I used dtc transport and great people to deal with,when my car got dropped to Mackay from Adelaide it had an yellow 2 door ford fully restored that had been won in a veterans raffle going to Townsville,I would have happily taken it too was a nice looking car!

As soon as I hear back from him I'll let you know,as I've seen how well it's been loved it always catches my eye!!, they are the good ones to buy so much easier to keep them in condition when well looked after

If I didn't have a fleet already I'd go look at it this,but I may know someone who is looking for a V8 ute,I will see if he is still keen and will let you know,it's a nice looking ute

was the end result all fitted up that I chose with build ninja in one of my vt's, gauges are angled upwards and towards the driver, gauges slot into the pocket/tray with a few little cut out mods for wires etc

Same thing happened to me with vht twice drives you crazy with all the effort of heating etc,rustolum bbq grill paint has stayed in place easy to use and has lasted me I haven't tried the gloss only flat,just doing a set of header on my LS skid car so will see how long it lasts on with a bit...

The only one I've had success with is rustolum grill paint on headers or exhaust works a treat

I've found someone in Mackay qld that can do LCD screens he did a vy one tonner for me,came back with 400+ ks!! He said he can do vs ones also,as does most LCD screens,said he will do my climate control panel light also @NORTI put me on to a vs cluster wizard just can't think of his name

What a darn beauty of a car you can tell it's loved!

before someone else attemptthink he spends more time cleaning out the old repair product then he does in fixing it,as the ones I have taken to him that haven't been attempted to be repaired end up cheaper and quicker for him to do,like I said he is the wizard and has been doing them for years

I drive 10 hrs one way to drop hsv parts off to Troy white to repair,had him do bummers,side skirts etc his shed is always full of hsv repair work,if it's hsv Troy will probably know all about it and have one there he has been doing it awhile.

I get all my hsv plastics repaired by a wizard in Brisbane,some of the stuff I've seen him rebuild is impressive, I wouldn't go anywhere else,he is the hsv plastic man,Troy white is name and knows a thing or two about the hsv's/Commodores

I had scorpions ,the 2 door version of the ol sigma don't see many anymore

Started getting the vy sv8 skid car ready for paint,who ever put a cowl on with sicka should be shot! After I sanded what bog was already there got it all flat primed it,looked the goods, till next day and cracked all the way around.So i put a big v cut it all the way around down to metal, dug...
