Cheers Marty ps any HDT's?? No it was very poorly advertised....Bugger all public through the door's but they can only blame that on themselves. Was a VH SS there (I assume genuine) with mags and afew other mods. Other Early Commy was a very nice factory 5.0 4 Speed Manual VK Calais Sedan. Same car at Nelson Nats with your Wagon.

Righto, here are a couple pics of this pretty sweet Ute.... Supercharged LS1 & 6 speed, and yes that's an ABS pump No point of a large motor without a nice interior It was voted Entrant's choice which was well deserved....owed him over 100k Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

wow thats alot of work gone into into that ute, interesting hard cover set up, looks like late model maloo cover. The interior is sweet, huge job to get that all to fit, manual is cherry on top, well deserved win. Can see where the money was spent aye!

But, if you had a shell and no running gear, why not. My Torana was the same case, shell when i found it, impossible to get it matching numbers again as the block is a mooring for the origional owners yacht.

Finally got around to relocating my wiring loom behind guards. I went down to repco to get some wiring but they didn't have the same gauge wire that I need. Is it possible to get some wiring out of a wrecked vl and cut and solder them up? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mate that is the best way to go,Just grab another loom from the wreaker and you will have all the wire you need,Cheap and you will have the correct colour coding. Cheers Marty
