Heres my project VH:
The rims are from my VL. I put them on one day while the VL was off the road. Its really a 6 Cyl, 5 speed. The plates and cluster are from my original VH. I paid $400 for this car, so those rims make it look expensive. I'm hoping to paint it up this xmas break. Still deciding on the colour. Majority of the rust is off now.
Also got some new door trims:
Just need to get the right locks now, and central locking.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yup, got them from SLO.BT1 from here. They need a cleanup. I like the original VH trims, but the drivers door one is effed up, and it was easy to just get the vk trims.

have you named it yet?
Few plans. We're painting it up soon as mentioned. color TBA. Im thinking White over Asteroid Silver, or my partners suggestion, wild violet, but the front of the car acid green, and having a flame pattern accross the front doors to the violet. I've also got a VK Group 3 Kit to stick on it.
We're considering converting it to RB30E for some more power/economy, but I do have a 308 laying around which might end up in it yet. Only thing is I want to keep it manual, and the 308 has a turbo 400 transmission attached to it.
Overall its going to be a company/show car, but also needs to be able to do long trips (hence the rb30e over the 308). Wouldnt mind turbo 6, but a) insurence b) my mrs will be driving it too c) already got 1 turbo (though can never have enough )

How can I forget my VC bushabsher.
It's now sitting down at the farm, with grass growing through the engine bay.
Picked it up for $400 2 years ago.
Blue 202 4 speed.
It WAS!! a pretty straight old girl.

Like the time we were driving down a dirt road at about 100ks and one of the engine mounts snapped and the time we down a slide on the grass and it hit a steel pipe, shredding the tyre.
Ah the good old times.

very true, all you have to do is ask the owner all about it (long story), it is a Holden VH SS, still pretty rare but not worth as much as the group 3, also allows him to do what ever mods he wants without ruining a original
