Hey Nes,the VH I have owned for 19 years and runs a 308-355 stroker with tuff trimatic and nine inch.Lots of fun...



thanks for the interest but I guess slightly off topic.
Hey JB,still have the exhaust,front and back windows,block and buff the front guards and bonnet,grille and front chrome and give it a good polish then drive the friggen wheels off it!

[Ed]

i still reckon the VH driveline in the black car would be cool.

Commodore is clean and tuff looking

(except for the poofy looking steering wheel) not my cup of tea.


clean engine bay and nice stance.

shhhh,the wife bought it for me and I'm still trying to replace it.  ::) Would like an original if I could find one in good nick as the original that was on it I stupidly painted grey for one of my other projects many years ago. :'(

[TTV6FC]

Hehehe Ed,yeah that would be a handfull ;D!!

Ey Pete, if your drinking tea mate, you have more issues than the steering wheel  :D not a bad looking car for the era but not my keg of beer, I'd prefer pre 76 ish cars.

Clean VH mate, looks like an SL. Wish I could have one of those again.
Thanks for the photos

If you believe that then you believe my cars never get flogged and only get driven to church on Sundays.
I know of a blue one getting wrecked I'll look at the .
I'm not that into commodores but like pre vl.
Vl Calais especially silver on dark silver.

(I hate tea)

[TTV6FC]

hahaha guys,I'm not that into Commodores either actually but I guess after nearly 20 years it's hard to get rid of it.My first car was a HR which I sold then bought the commy as I needed something "more comfortable" at the time as I was doing 180km round trips to tafe in the early nineties.Since then all of the comfy bits are gone off the Commy like power steering and A/C.I think it's funny that now I really, really want to get back into a car which is unpredictable and far less comfy than what my commy was like back then...Can hardly wait to get the FC on the road and really DRIVE a car again. ;)

Theres one on ebay at the moment a dead ringer for yours

Half tempted looks unreal.

[TTV6FC]

Very tuff,and has the VN setup.Would sh*t all over mine...Not sure about the dead ringer part ???

[FCRB26]

After 6 stubbies and my really bad memory it was a dead ringer. :D

[TTV6FC]

While I'm waiting for the paint on the guards to harden up a bit I decided to start on the exhaust starting with the flange plates....










Also made some custom linkages for the twins...

[FCRB26]

You would put a few exhaust shops to shame love your work.

[JB]

Very very nice!!! Well done.  ;D

[TTV6FC]

Hahaha maybe.Took me all bloody day though just to do the engine pipes... ::)

[Stewy]

Yeah Jamie Great work.

I always think any job worth doing is worth doing well,
and if I'm not happy with it I don't expect anyone else to be happy with it either.
Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing the finished article.

Cheers Stewy   8)

Very impressive work Jamie, by the time you've finished the car will be better than when it was brand new.
