Looks good mate. That’s a score for 3K

Definitely a bargain for $3k! Looks good on the WM wheels too, I rate it!

Thanks. Changed The rear cradle and Control arms etc to VZ ones for less negative camber and toe adjustment.

Also changed the leaky diff while i was there (new diff twins). and rear shocks.

Done boring things like the rocker cover gaskets and ac belt (now has working aircon)

Looks like a really good base to start with, stato’s are the Aussie Cadillac :)  They have to be the best value for money Holden, $3k for an LS1 powered car in that cond is a steal

Recently decided to steal all the stereo gear out of my other car i haven’t driven for 2 years.

So now Has:

Rockford T1 6.5″ Components up front.

Rockford T1 Coax 6″ in rear doors.

Kenwood 600w 4ch.

Kenwood 1ooow Mono.

Unsure what to do with the parcel shelf holes.

Disassembled my chrome handles today. Should be in the silver surrounds and installed Saturday.

Also got backed into. Getting fixed on the 18th.

Got a defect for being too low…Major.

It Wasn’t that low. haha.

Looks like the fun police are at it again.  I really don’t get their obsession with defecting low cars, whats dangerous about it?

Haha yeah. Worst part was that i was only in adelaide for the week for work training. Made going there even worse.

Got one caprice handle in today. Hopefully do the rest tomorrow after work.

 

EDIT:

All handles are in. also replaced my drivers mirror that had tech screws in it.

Began fitting my trans cooler, Got it bolted up to the bracket and cable tied the lines up.  Job for another day when i service the trans.

Any idea why there are factory trans coolers on most v6 vt/whs and not ls1?
