Paint is awesome in person looked great at powercruise realised it was yours when I looked in the engine bay from when you filled the holes and stuff well that and it was parked with tooneys vz only pic I got was in the background but awesome work bud 

Thought it was funny to come across it on gumtree tho wonder what happened to the supercharged 5ltr and other bits of the build

Some lucky sole must have won project Phoenix on the downlow way to go street Commodores best giveaway ever now it could be yours for $2000

Haha thanks guys it’s getting there still plenty more to do tho the group a bulge will be gone eventually need to find someone with the same colour to swap bonnets lol anyway the rebuilt diff is in haven’t driven it yet but all seems ok keen to see how it goes with 3.73s anyways pics of the leaking old 3.08 etc

Poor sv89

Nah the guy I got it off rattled the pinion up cause it was leaking and stuffed the pinion bearing I only paid $70 or $90 for it ages ago can’t remember but either way crazy cheap for a vt 2 hsv 3.73 m80 lol so it’s just in getting bearings seals and shimmed up lsd centre should be good enough

Dropped my 3.73 m80 off to get rebuilt yesterday should have it back Monday arvo 

Wheels look much better silver

Cheers mate I’m real happy with them anyway more pics cause I got some new wax the other day and paint was looking extra good

Took it for its first drive with the tris on and got a flat tyre so good a time as any for some pics

Cheers bud I ended up stripping the clear off the 2 wheels that had clear today turned out really well so far haven’t even polished them yet but will do all 4 soon might have to strip the centre caps too because they look dull anyway heres some pics I started with the worst wheel and these pics are all of it

Finally got my polished gts Tri spokes today I chucked 2 on one side for a couple of pics as I still need to get a new centre cap (ebay $175 new) and I need the factory holden style open ended wheel nuts so the caps will sit flush also at some point 2 of them have had the clear stripped and they look much better so will strip the other 2 wet rub…[Read more]

You would be surprised what a decent cut and polish / buff then wax will do for it id give that a shot doesn’t look like the clear is peeling on the bonnet just oxidised either that or hand it over to a detailer

iPhone shot of my clubsport rear quarter after a clay bar and coat of wax can see my sv89 pretty well in the reflection

Not much of an update but my brother in law picked up a set of polished Tri spokes for me today just have to get around to going to pick them up one weekend as he lives a few hrs away stoked with the pick up anyway as I got them really cheap not much else other than that just disturbing the peace whenever I take it out  :XD:
