14-09-11, 18:40 GMT+10#21 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)

14-09-11, 19:17 GMT+10#22 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

23-09-11, 11:42 GMT+10#30 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

Went for a spin out to one of the local dams with my bro, he likes 3rd gear limiter as he leaves

Not so outlandish apparently when you actually do have a bit of cash to spend on the cars you want to drive.
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.
