My VE Commodore's headliner is sagging, like every Aussie car does :rolleyes:
Does anybody have any recommendations of re-upholstery shops in the SE Melbourne area? Would like it to be reasonably priced too...
I rang up a re-upholsterer and they quoted about $500... My understanding is that...
Thought I'll create a thread for people to show off their Diecast models/collections/builds
Here is my best:
2004 VYII SS by AutoArt in Cosmo Purple, 1:18 scale, 1139/2000 ever made
Note, this isn't my personal one pictured but looks like this... Sorry if I've got it in the wrong section...
Here is a very interesting VS Commodore Ute which has been converted to an EV :eek:
It's also for sale but I believe it's an old listing, though it's still cool (and weird)

I know the title sounds delusional and I don't really believe this claim either but I'm currently in a debate on the YouTube comments section where this guy is telling me that the LFX in the Commodores supposedly has 240kw like the Camaro, but Holden advertised it with 210kw to meet the...
This is pretty hilarious:

Whether the solar panels are functional or not is a different story...
Hey guys, I'm in the market for another car and I'm considering a manual Holden Ute... My question is whether these cars drive differently than a regular Commodore? As I know people who have had vans said that their cars would be more affected by cross winds than a regular car... Is this true...
Ever since I sold my 1000HP VY Ecotec which I acquired with $15,000 in the boot, I was looking for something smaller, more fuel efficient and luxurious while being very powerful... I was looking at everything from the new Rolls Royce Phantom to the Mitsubishi Mirage, but I decided that this 1988...
Hey guys, while looking through Carsales, I came across a VL Convertible which was made to showcase what a convertible Commodore would've look like and was used as a parade car for the Bridgestone Precision Driving team...
Here's one for you AWD Holden lovers, I was looking through Carsales and found a V6 AWD 1 Tonner, which according to Whichcar:
"The rarest of the rare? The One Tonner Cross6. Of the 261,238 VZ Commodore-based vehicles built, a mere 50 exited the factory as cab-chassis, all-wheel-drive...
I've come across this new car YouTube channel based in Queensland which flips auction cars and then try to make a profit... They currently have a Porsche Cayenne Hybrid which is causing them a little trouble and have featured quite a variety of cars, including a V8 Commodore!

Hey guys, I've just acquired my new VY Commodore with fully sic mods and an extremely low 290,000km... It came with $15,000 in the boot and managed to negotiate a full tank of fuel, though it was just the cheapie stuff...
Future mods:
- Chop da springs
- Fully sic exhaust
- Welded diff
- HSV...
@MotoringBox is premiering a video on his channel about his newly acquired car...
It kind of looks like a VR/VS Commodore or maybe a Statesman from the same era, and I hope I'm right...

Edit: It's a Magna
I came across this Lamborghini Aventador replica which is based on the Holden Monaro, looks terrible and the looney toon ruined a manual V8 Monaro which is really desirable over here... They take some strong drugs over in America

Here's a thread on forum called "G8 Board" in the U.S which shows an LFX making just over 500rwhp:

The potential on these engines haven't been realised (at least here in Australia) and could give the Barra boys something to pay...
Hello fellow Holden enthusiasts, I was scrolling through Carsales and came across a VU SS, but it wasn't a normal SS... Turns out, only 500 of these "Fifty SS" Utes were made to celebrate 50 years of Holden building Utes... How many are still around? How many are in auto vs manual and did they...

I haven't posted a thread in quite some time but while looking at the prices of V8 Commodores, Caprices, etc... I've noticed that people aren't selling them for as much as they once were a few months ago, here's what I mean:
By no means are they cheap, but the economical troubles...

I was looking at expensive cars on carsales.com.au while I was bored and I came across this REALLY overpriced Commodore which was supposedly owned by Brock (Turns out it is!)... The seller in Victoria wants $1.5 MILLION (Yes you're reading that right!) for an S Pack with some plaques on the...
A lesser known fact about our car industry that nobody seems to talk about is the small number of Holden's that were rebadged as "Bitter"
Bitter Vero- Holden Caprice (WM)

Although Korean made Holdens were cheap and offered decent value for money... They all share the same trait of being horribly unreliable... But here's a question out of curiosity, what is the least reliable of the Korean Holdens? How about the most reliable Korean made Holden?

Hi guys, I'm asking an age old question here but which car do you think is better... Obviously the VT looks much better but I seem to be seeing more AU's on the road these days... Could it be that the P-Platers and Bogans have destroyed the VT's or are they just less reliable?
QUESTION: While scrolling through carsales.com.au, I've noticed that Euro cars seem to usually have less kilometres than Japanese or Australian cars of the same age (around 10 to 15 years old)... Is this because they've been spending more time in the workshop, been driven less, or just plain fraud?
