Hey all, been a member on here for a while and thought why not throw some pics of my commodore up here since a few were spotted in TEMPAs thread....
She started life as a standard VB Commodore with no options and a vinyl interior and was originally painted atlantis blue, that same car is the one my parents owned secondhand from 1982 - 1999. Anyways, car has been resprayed, with a new everything just about being added and had power steering and air con fitted when she was a 202, although air con had to give way when the V6 went in as the budget didnt cover it
Although its taken along time its now at a level where im happy with it and i see it as something to be proud of.
