Found a car. This thread is now not needed.

You'd have to be demented to buy that!! Naaaah looks the goods, maybe ditch the rims. Are you going to commit a turbo conversion?

Hahaha. I will ditch the rims, they ****ed up the odometer and yeh probably if I find the time and the money etc.

not worth 2500 maybe 1500 absolute tops

I live in Western Australia, I hope you're aware that everything is inflated over here. Not to mention that, the car only has 50,000kms on the engine. ---------- Post added 28-02-14 at 07:57 ---------- Car has 0 RUST and recently resprayed as well.

I cant say ive ever seen brake pads leak before but im sure that would be an easy fix..

Yeah it really is.

why don't you buy a standard car and fix it up to your liking, instead of taking someone else's half finished attempt? even if it's in poor condition it will give you a good opportunity to learn how to restore and repair things yourself. WA is no excuse! you can virtually buy a whole car worth of parts from ebay these days

Looks like it would have been a P plater special you can pick up late model cars so cheap these days why would you mess around with a POS like that? a VE SS ute struggled to get 10K the other day at auction how much of the engine has been rebuilt/replaced? and what about the starter, alternator, gearbox, diff, brakes? yes the brakes with the 'leaking pads' and ask yourself why was it resprayed?

I wouldn't buy it, but that's just me. Respray looks dodgey, looks like it was a cheap job. arial is orange and looks like overspray around the rear window seal. It's an NA auto with a dash rewind/swap. All the best.

Could any of you guys help me find one that is nice located in Western Australia, specifically nesr Perth or 100KMS from Pinjarra. I need one for around 3000-3500d or a price I can easily negotiate down to that price range. Would need the car to be registered. ---------- Post added 28-02-14 at 14:09 ---------- Also PM me rather than reply as posts need to be approved and I need to know this info ASAP.

Pretty sure this is the car that deton8 handed round he paid for it as a roller $800 I'm pretty sure

I think it's a closed door respray hey? If you want to know what owning a VL is like, go get all your hard earned money, bury it in a jar in the backyard and draw a map. Hide the map somewhere, but conveniently forget where you hid the map. And then you'll be thinking: "man I wish had that money, I'm really broke, I have no money now" Having a VL results in no money, because your always fixing the old thing.

Pm me the vin. I might know the history of that car Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk

Ah bugger, I have seen that one in the flesh it was very clean.

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/perth...dan/1038797884 (http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/perth-region/cars-vans-utes/1986-holden-commodore-sedan/1038797884) How about this one? Looks clean but odo stopped at 250,000kms so it could have 300 000kms+ on it

The orange re spray from busso is an absolute heaper! White does one looks better, but keep looking mate, original as possible is the key.

What does heaper mean?
