i think that bloke was talking about the hatch not the 4 door. i'd much rather an o.g, non rusted out, running, 308 kingers over the hatch that sold. but yer bummer you're selling up. there's a cheap vp ss up just today on gumtree ($1750 bibra lake)

its not a ss, bt1... they were ss spec though, saw that but not really my thing even though its cheap... been the super bunky burnout route before (the v6 gemini) and yeah its kind of a waste of effort with crap cars... even though the skids are good i'd like to get a bit more competitive, i have been building a second ls1 for carby duties for a while for future skid engine so yeah chasing a slightly cooler car like a non-white vn ss or something

if someone did that to a slr5000 they would have to be the dumbest person ever to step foot on earth keep it stock let the value go up

OK this is still for sale... VN is gone and has been replaced with new skid car so this has to go to keep the mrs happy with some money to spend on the house Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

OK mrs is kind of off my back Got the VR for skids now, made some cash difference between selling the VN and getting the VR but shes got some other plans for the house arghhhh She had an idea that, if the kingswood is becoming difficult to sell, swap it for something else with/without cash difference and try my luck selling that SOOOOOO... now i am interested in swaps on vlt, vlct, vk/vl calais v8... something that is possibly easy to pass on I am asking 7 for the Kingswood so be reasonable All the ideas above would make for a mint/mean cruiser, my torana build is coming closer to the end so it will fill my void of a nice old car to drive Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have been cruising it heaps of late, even found a few parts to "tidy" it up a bit like the side moulds the last NOR hick removed. Went for a spin out to one of the local dams with my bro, he likes 3rd gear limiter as he leaves Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

My friend in dunsborough that has put a Holden EFI 5 liter in an og SLR, with 19 inch simmons too. its deadly. He has kept the original rims and original engine.... he's no fool. ---------- Post added 15-10-11 at 00:56 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by satanslbo [View Post] not so outlandish apparently when you actually do have a bit of cash to spend on the cars you want to drive.

Yeah no one has cash hey, heaps of interest, thats why i've suggested the swap route, might be easier to sell a different car? Still enjoying cruising it up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
