my vc wagon, bought it for $500 of ebay with 7 months reg, had a celica 5 speed in it. I only bought it to tow my jet ski, was a great ****ter, ended up painting it putting vs ss trim in it and wheels, let rego run out and couldn't be bothered re registering it so i striped it and sent it to scrap

And my VH SLE sedan, was a project i never finished, painted it, converted from 202 to 253 and manual, black velour trim wheels etc, nearly had it finished and found rust hidden in the rails, deemed it to dangerous to drive so stripped it so no one else got it and drove it.

...and now a VH SL/E i acquired! Is black, lowered, straight, neat, and didnt come with an engine or transmission. Just needs putting back together. As for the engine, I have my old 308, and th400 trans from my last vh to drop in. Also sticking my old white 15" rims on... seem to set it off nicely. Was also happy that my 202 WB could tow this 400km's without a problem! go the old holdens!

More... Looks a bit sad at the moment, but still needs a cut/polish. Cleaning up all the wiring too, and installed a normal T-Bar auto as it had a hurst shifter, but the previous owner kept it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
