Title: A poor substitute for my FC Wagon...

I have just purchased this to play with:

An original unmolested unrestored VB Commodore SL/E.

Hopefully when cleaned up and registered it may help me get another FC....

Cheers, Graeme

Been offered a swap for an EJ sedan which needs floor pans, a clutch and master cylinder and a good clean up.....  Been sitting in a shipping container for 18 odd years.

Decisions, decisions....

Hi Graham    Have you made your mind up.?  ???    Have you seen the EJ holden first hand yet..  I had an EH back in the day great car.  I think i would stick with your VB V8, they seem to be popping up more and more in car shows this days.   

Keep us up to date with your decision..

I think you are right Cam, I should keep the VB. 

Haven't seen the EJ, just a couple of photo's, it didn't look too bad but the floor pans need replacing (and other body work) and that made me hesitate.

Plan with the VB was to get it up and running, cleaned up and on club rego and hopefully use it to get my way back into an FC.

Good to see your progressing too.
