I love hearing stories like this. 

I did the same a few years back with my VH. First thing I also changed was the suspension. The drive from Canberra to Sydney with the tired suspension was interesting (body roll much!) especially since my daily is a VW Golf R.

Keep up the good work.

Sounds right. Shouldn’t matter if the temp outside is cold compared to it being warm. The colder outside the longer it may take the engine to get up to optimal operating temperature.

I don’t think the car is overheating and I suggest checking that the radiator cap is ok and you’re not overfilling the overflow bottle.

Temp sounds normal to me too.

I just changed the thermostat and water pump on the VH. The needle was getting all the way to the red at a standstill and just over 3/4’s when moving.

At first I thought it may have been the temp sensor or the temp gauge because it was fine one week then overheating the next. I bought a laser temperature gun as a…[Read more]

Already done.

No Holden badge on the grille though. I like the lone off centre SLE badge.

Managed to get an SLE badge last week. Only have one at the moment and I fitted it to the car.

Very happy with the results!!!

Just added double sided tape

A bit of a clean after it’s attached to make it nice and shinny!

Also managed to get the cost of the Commodore badge down. I’m hoping to be able to get the pair (Commodore and SLE)…[Read more]

Still trying to get a hold of the badges. They’re done but hard to get a hold of at the moment.

In other news look what turned up on gumtree http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1113716656

It’s my old VH that I did the conversion to. Don’t know why the guy has added the VK Brock grille…

No sticky backing. Have to do that myself. I asked about it, It can be done but added too much to the cost.

I saw the guy on FB making his own. His are plastic, I think he just repaired an old one rather than make a new one.

No updates as yet. I’ve been busy with work and family to follow up on the badges. I’m hoping I’ll have them soon. The rear of the car looks weird with the gap in the pin striping with no badges. Every time I take her out I get asked why the pin stripes stop there.

Car has been sitting in the garage collecting dust for almost a month. Hoping to…[Read more]

Took the car out with my wife and 3 year old on Saturday. First time they went in the car and they loved it.

Saturday night I went for a drive and met up with a few guys that are trying to start a monthly meet in Rydalmere, NSW.

It’s called “Chrome ‘n’ Hardware”

It’s a gathering of all old school muscle with the exception of early…[Read more]

I’ll try again with the bumper molds once I get the badges sorted. Hopefully the guy getting the badges for me can point me in the right direction.

They used to but not any more.

They sell the SLE and Holden emblem badges only and I believe all the badges apart from the rear boot lock badge are plastic.

Badge is same height but 2mm longer. I’m told that this will be fixed when they make the final badge, this was one just made up to get the colouring right.

Can’t wait to have these fitted to the car.

Another update on the Commodore badge.

The rear Commodore badge is pretty much done. Looking to get my hands on about 10 of these (maybe more).

Here’s a few pics – let me know your thoughts

Top one is the original

If anyone is interested let me know. PM me here or better yet send me an email at sle881 (at) hotmail.com
