Nice pick up man looks very impressive.

HAWT!

Must be quick too, nice work

yeah its got a nice chucky V8 under the bonnet so its should if used correctly.

nice wat u pic it up 4 ?? the interior looks realy neat

nice ride,

But all mods to it make sure they are easierly reverted back to stardard as there aren't to many and they are worth more money come resale time if they are standard.

got it for $7,200

though it is quite rough around the edges so to say. The interior yes, is quite nice, but has a lot of little things to fix up, and also the roof lining needs doing, but yea, nothing i can't handle

rear end needs suspensions work, get some nice axel tramp, but yea, i'll prob but new bushes right through it eventually, firm it all up

Yea, i was already planning to do this, though unfortunatly I don't have the original wheels, but the rest of it i will keep anything i change, such as i might put a new steering wheel on it, but i'll def keep the hsv one in storage, stuff like that.

thats an alright price, yea the roof lining is a coomon thing in that era of commodores ive notice havnt seen many where they havnt fallen/saged or been replace, lol not that u would have tryed anything silly 2 find out the axle tramp lol nuffin new bushes and different tyres wont fix, theres always sumthing 2 fix on an older car there where even a few things i had 2 fix on the supra just all little jobs

possibly needs atleast one engine mount aswell, as under hard accelaration the exhaust hits on the passenger floor somewhere, so i need to check them, and hopefully that fixes the problem

i have the wheels you are after and they are for sale they need tyres but that to be expected and they have gutter rash but thats also to be expected as these wheels are extremely rare i will be open for bids on them. ps i will sell them at a low price but it has to be the right price.

also i forgot to mention the gutter rash is fixable at promac i had a quote of 160 bucks to machine the lips on all four.

interested in having a look at these, if we can organise some time for me to drop round and check em out, then go from there.

I'm not wanting to fit the rims, but would like to have the originals sitting in the shed so i've got the option to go original if i want to sell it that way.

It looks heaps nice. especially the interior from the photos.
and its got a v8 under the hood

thanks mate

and scott, if your still good for the rims, the 5 spoke ones that you had on the vl (painted black) then i'll get some cash your way whenever your ready.

yey, engine mounts done, fixed to problem.

though when up on the hoist, i discovered some nice oil leaks...

power steer leaking, put the two pipes on the rack where loose, so i tightened them, hopefully that fixes it.

there is a fair bit of wet, seems to be coming from rear main, but i need to give it a full under car wash so i can actually work out where the oil is coming from.

also, i will be putting nylothane bushes in the rear end, at least on the sub frame to start with to hopefully stop the axel tramp.

ah the joys of fixing everything up i had just sorted on my last car

at least u can do it i guess

got the cruise control working last night.

it'll be sweet to have it back for my 30min freeway drives to and from work now.
power mirrors seem to work, seems like the switch is bung, i tried a spare vs switch, and they worked.

I also pulled the drivers side door trim off, cause one of the window runner rubbers had almost dissapeared down into the door, i got it fiddled back up into place, stopped the wind noise and window rattle, yey, and I also found left overs from 2 different sets of splits in the door I now have a spare set of kenwood tweaters of some kind, and some spare random off cuts of wiring

and also, there is already 12 guage wiring run into the doors, so that will help make it easier for putting in my kickers into the door, yey for no more silly hair thin factory wiring.
I might get around to putting the door trim back on at some stage

I have also ordered nylothane rear subframe bushes, and the diff mount bush from pedders, should be arriving soon to dads workshop, and i've bought a flexi pipe from ebay, genuine hsv v8 one from melbourne, to replace the stupid pod filter.

a couple images, also of where the head unit will go
I will be cleaning the door trims througherly aswell, hence why the pod is off and its in bits
