Heres some pics of my Commodore. Auzy imported back in the day, im the fourth owner! 151,XXXkms with an excelent service record. Iv put a new alloy radiator in it, cambelt, fuel and water pumps, plugs and leads, 3" exhaust straight through with good size bore (sounds mint!) uniden alarm, KnN pod and rocker cover breathers. Things to do...almost have manual conversion completed, just looking for gearbox at the moment. Also thinking about getting a RB30et from auzy ebay, thats why im leaving the standard exhaust manifold at this stage. And after that going to do the calais stlye two tone paint job. Any sugestions or coments welcome http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=128776353834298&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=128776357167631&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=158540144191252&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=158540147524585&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=184983258213607&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=184983261546940&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=184983264880273&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=184983264880273&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...027384&theater (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7670&id=100001058027384&saved#!/photo.php?fbid=184983271546939&set=a.117078608337406.7670.100001058027384&theater) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
